    the IRA includes long term tax benefits for basically everybody, most impact-fully, people in the lower income brackets. Both the CHIPS act and infra bill have provided for a lot of jobs. He didn’t kill oil, like trump seems to pretend happened. Im sure there are a number of other things i’m missing as well. Biden was an absolute legislation machine.

    Notably, the economy is doing very well right now. Granted the perception tends to lag, that’s natural.

      The oil lobby has always (like, back to the 1860s always) broken Republican and states that produce large quantities of oil have historically tilted Republican as a result.

      Biden didn’t need to kill oil. All he needed to do was be marginally less friendly than Trump or Bush. That provoked hundreds of millions in adversarial spending and billions in dark money, focused in states with big O&G industries.
