Aren’t these the same people who just helped get Trump elected? Biden actually gave the oil industry a stable environment in which to operate. Granted, in the long run, they would’ve had to find a new business model or sell a larger share of their oil outside the US.
I think the game they’re playing is “You better give me what I want, or I’ll sink the whole boat by supporting your opponent. You care more than I do whether the country lives or dies, so it’s a credible threat.” Wall Street does the same thing whenever a politician shows a whiff of regulating them.
It is, interestingly enough, the exact same game that the people are playing who refuse to support Democrats because of Gaza. The Palestinian cause is a hell of a lot more noble and real, but the calculus is the same. “I’ll burn the world if you don’t do what I demand.”
As a gaza boat sinker last cycle let me help you rephrase: ‘stop killing people for business profits and promote policies that help the common good or ill gladly watch our country burn’
