Yes but US producers would be hurt. Given Biden’s America first economic policy, VP Harris’s views are not terribly meaningful while Mr Biden is alive.US relies on fracking for >1/2 of oil production. Another big chunk is offshore.'
Kamala Harris stated that she was in favor of banning fracking and offshore drilling. That would eliminate vast majority of US oil production, giving more profits to other producers. So it stands to reason they would be happy with somebody like her taking the reigns at the White House.
I sure am glad Mike Pence would not let Trump grab his on January 6th 2021.Interesting thought. The eventual pick will be someone Trump believes to be 100% under his thumb. As a lifelong misogynist, that might very well mean he will pick a woman. M or F, it will certainly be someone he thinks he can grab by the pussy.the orange felon is no spring chicken either - what if he has a female VP pick. What to do? What to do?
You made no mention of oil exporters. I therefore assume you are moving the goalposts.
Probably just ramping up pressure so they can try to get more concessions by NATO. However the more pessimistic part of me thinks they would actually be willing to risk a nuclear war and they might be legitimately insane.What are the Russians doing in Cuba now?

That's why this political environment is so detestable and yet so dull at the same time. There's no nuance, no legitimate debate to have. There's this monster blocking the view of everything else that would otherwise be on the table, e.g. healthcare, military spending, etc. Instead, we just have to vote for Biden no matter what because the alternative is unacceptable (and frightening).

Fracking enabled the US to become a major producer and exporter of oil and firmly pushed back on the myth that the US did not have any oil. The Russians who rely on the income from exporting oil did not have fracking technology and the evidence suggests that the Russians invaded our social media to push the idea that fracking is unsafe. Many on the far left embraced this idea because anything the oil and gas industry does has to be wrong and not environmentally sound, (which created hysteria over it). Which was true in the past, however, the industry is much different today and many more controls and best management practices have changed the industry.US relies on fracking for >1/2 of oil production.

Indeed, frackers love wind and solar. Intermittent renewable generation is a HUGE boost for anyone who wants to see more gas turbine power generation.
That reminds me of when I lived in California. I voted 3rd party in the 2016 election, and was told my 3rd party vote in California is the reason she lost Pennsylvania.
Sure. No one’s vote means anything. Reality is an illusion. Protest votes really show the man and change everything.
May or may not have been the reason she lost, however your third party vote was useless, so good job I guess?
I take it you are bad at math. There is no possible in which my votes for first Mitt Romney and then Jill Stein in 2012 could possibly have cost Obama the election. It just isn't possible. Run the simulation as many times as you like. Obama won fully 60% of my states' vote, that year. So why should I have cast a dishonest vote for someone I didn't want to continue in office? It cost Obama nothing but gave me a small measure of personal peace. If anyone noticed my vote at all, it was to note it as part of a broad statistic of how many voters desired an alternative to the blood-soaked, xenophobic "centrism" that passed for the political Left in those days. A message I would have been more than happy to send, in the unlikely event that anyone was listening at all.

Whereas an expected, party line vote would have been useful? How? What is "useful" about it?
Aviate. Navigate. Communicate.
