(31,261 posts)You did an excellent post that detailed Biden's legislative record on clean energy and climate change action. People that post the type of stuff that you were refuting ignore the often relatives of occasional pieces of legistlation. A democrat may vote "yes" on something that turns our heads, but a deeper look at what happened in all cases show that the "yes" vote PREVENTED horrid legistlation from passing and being signed into law by a republican President. When the final bill is going to get 85 votes in the Senate, a Senator like Senator Sanders can go on record opposing it, but that does not make him a hero in my estimate. Year later groups like Greenpeace used a courageous and sound "yes" vote to beat democrats over the head and make it look like Senatot Sanders was the courageous one, when in fact the opposite should happen.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
