Per Bloomberg, Joe Biden sure isn’t acting as if we’re in a “climate crisis”:
President Joe Biden, who depended
on mail-in votes to win office in 2020, unexpectedly flew Air Force One to his
home state of Delaware on Tuesday to cast a primary election ballot in-person.
The White House didn’t publicly
announce the trip until just before he left. Asked before boarding his plane
why he was traveling to his home state on short notice, the president answered:
“To vote.”
What’s the excuse for this? It can’t be that there were
no mail-in or early-voting options available:
He didn’t answer when asked why he
hadn’t simply requested and returned an absentee ballot. Delaware also offered
in-person early voting on Saturday, when Biden was at his home in Wilmington.
And it can’t be because he doesn’t trust mail-in ballots,
because, in addition to being our key Defender of the Earth, Joe Biden is the
primary champion of Our Democracy.
When other progressives do this, they often insist that
they ticked the “offset my carbon” box on the airline’s website. Alas, there is
no such option within the booking system for Air Force One.
