But I was assured that Biden BETRAYED everyone by continuing to allow gasoline, and the only way forward was to punish the Democrats including Kamala Harris who is a whole new person. I thought we were winning? Now that we didn’t vote for the Democrats? I don’t know, someone help me out, I’m confused.

Almost all the climate-focused voters saw through that trolling — the problem is that we had a whole lot of other people stay home and not vote.
Ok I will help you out, why don't you think critically about how you were sure there was a decisive mass of lefty voters who didn't vote for Kamala just to make a statement and when the numbers came in it turns out environmental voters were among her most loyal voting demographic.
Not only is your view politics broken, it is about as incorrect as it can get in this case at predicting what people will do and why.
The question is who's self interests are you blindly serving when you decide to close your eyes and lay back into the comfy hate of the narrative (truth be damned) that selfish lefty idealistic voters voted against their own interests to prove a shrill point and now we are screwed because they betrayed us all just to give Kamala the middle finger?
We have already been through this with the "bernie bro" narrative about why Hillary Clinton lost that centrists had what I can only describe as a borderline obsession with even though the opposite was exhaustively demonstrated in voting statistics.
I'm not even American and I'm getting sick of this kind of complaining.
