This direct contradiction of clearly articulated administration policy is possible because because of the bank’s nominal independence. It makes its own decisions and evaluates its own deals—it’s supposed to conduct transactions that support the American economy, free from political interference.
I see you have taken to heart my advice about making more subtle and “what? it’s technically true”-defensible postings, that through the phrasing of their headline still feed the narrative that Biden’s bad for the climate even though he pushed through a climate bill that’s predicted to reduce US emissions by 40% in the next 6 years, and this particular financing deal is only tangentially related to him. (In the article it says the bank is actually forbidden by law from choosing deals to finance or not based on which industry they relate to.)
Name a reasonable (see: electable) alternative who is
better on Israel
better for the economy
can beat trump
Until you can you should probably stfu because if you think it’s better to see Biden lose to trump over Israel, you’re going to be pretty damn disappointed when trump puts boots on the ground to help Israel.
I’m tired of seeing this worn out point. What exactly would you propose he do that is:
Actually possible for him to do
Not going to make the situation worse
Not something he is already doing
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like what Israel is doing either but the US has painted themselves into a corner long before the Biden admin. We can’t stop supporting Israel without basically ceding control of the region to Iran, and I guarantee Iran will do shit that will make Israel look like Mr. Rogers by comparison.
I’m not saying there’s nothing he could be doing better, but I don’t see any productive discussion from the people calling him Genocide Joe.
And all that aside, he’s still by far the preferable alternative to Don Cheeto who would likely actually be a genocide enabler.
I mean… I don’t see eye to eye with the man on certain things either but… Do you think Trump is going to do better when it comes to fossil fuels? He’s going to fight for the environment harder?
Thank you! yours is a noble crusade keeping up with these jokers. I’ve also notice there are 3 bad-actor posters, and coincidentally every comment of descent gets their 3 downvotes.

Vote for Biden. Seriously. I don’t care. Just know what you’re voting for.
A 40% reduction in emissions and continued American democracy?
But I mean, the man isn’t 100% on what I want. So obviously we have to abstain, causing the end of democracy in this shit system.
A genocide enabler?

Isn’t one of his stated campaign promises literally “drill, drill, drill, baby!”

It’s a few more than 3 🙂
Pro tip, votes on Lemmy (or any federated app) are not at all private
