PSW: Why do you think Biden is going way too fast into alternatives? I think his energy policy has actually been arguably his strongest area, since he is both investing in alternative energy, while also taking steps to boost domestic oil production to its highest rate ever. I'm a big believer in a policy of energy abudance (https://www.slowboring.com/p/energy-abundance), and my main recommendation for Biden in this area is to become a stronger supporter of nuclear power.
And speaking of nuclear power PSW, to answer the question you asked above, I have no interest at all in RFK Jr. as an alternative to Biden. I think Jr. is wrong on nuclear power, wrong on vaccines, and wrong on Ukraine.
As for Ukraine, PSW, I suspect we may in some agreement there. Certainly, I think it's fair for you to ask the question of what the endgame is? Ultimately, I think a negotiated solution that gives up the Crimea (at least for now) will have to be the answer, but I think it's vital that Ukraine enter those negotiations from a position of relative strength, so that it is clear to everyone (including the Russian people) that launching the war was a huge mistake.
I also think, PSW, that some of your other criticisms are fair as well. I think it's reasonable to criticize for Biden for being late to address the border issues and for pandering too much on some social issues.
But ultimately, even from a strictly policy perspective, these criticisms are outweighed by the fact that Biden is far better on both the economy (https://www.slowboring.com/p/trump-would-make-inflation-worse) and our energy future. Then when you add in the huge weaknesses that Trump brings to the table because of his election denial and his lack of character (discussed in detail on a different thread above), I think the choice to vote for Biden is an easy one.
Energy policy-Going wayyy to fast into alternatives without thinking about the consequences.
