(40,366 posts)Why did Biden counter the woman's statement ""I think Bernie's plan is pretty impressive. What they're comparing their plan to "" with "Not a single solitary scientist think it'd work. You can not get to zero emissions by 2030. It's impossible."
As I've said in other posts, I think Biden just made a mistake. Thinking that Bernie's plan called for acheiving zero emissions byy 2030 when it actually calls for reducing emissions by 71% by that year.
Personally, I don't think it's much of a deal. Given how much candidates have to talk and answer questions, it's a given they'll sometimes get their facts wrong. And it's also a given that opponents will try to make political hay out of a candidate's mistakes.
I'm not trying to bash Biden here. I'm just trying to make the point that he most likely made a simple mistake.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
