Donald Trump offered to weaken climate regulations in exchange for a $1bn contribution from oil company bosses to support his return to the White House later this year. During a dinner for senior oil executives at his Mar-a-Lago club last month, Trump “vowed to immediately reverse dozens of president [Joe] Biden’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted” if they gave him the money, according to the newspaper. One top priority for the executives, which Trump said they would get “on the first day”, was an end to the freeze on permits for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, the article notes.

    You must support ranked choice voting then?

    That would destabilize the two party system into more parties and more representation.

    If not then I don’t understand your motivation.

      Some of them are true believers. Some are being edgy because they know it bothers people. Some are bad actors trying to convince others not to vote because not voting always benefits the Republicans.
