Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

The first three are what they already do but since most of the country only sees the Democrats from right-wing media, it will not be seen. 5th one is why Biden/Kamala lost, accepting right-wing framing uncritically ie Afghan withdrawal and the economy. Opting to lose harder is not a strategy.
