You bitch and moan and say Biden is doing enough, that he's pushing his Green agenda, etc. Yet if he goes to Saudi Arabia pressures these OPEC+ countries you make a big deal about that. Please get it through your heads, the US will never be oil solvent. This resource won't stop being a global commodity whether a D, R or Independent is in office. Now go ahead and stop rooting against your country.
The End.
Thank God for Joe Biden and the Democrats.

The price of oil is actually set in the oil futures market. The part of oil futures that is decided by supply/demand is relatively stable and easy to figure out. For example, $50 a barrel is breaking even price (OPEC standard). No need to drop production if the prices stay above it. Global demand for oil is also easy to estimate. The uncertainty of oil futures mainly comes from and caused by politics/policy.
The policy based on your political conviction affects the oil futures price. If you decided to stop using fossils fuel, say, by 2030, it would affect the oil futures contract. To oil suppliers it doesn't make sense to upgrade equipment, explore more and drill more today. Another example, if your geopolitical policy is to have a big proxy war with oil-rich countries, you create uncertainty of oil supply, you're responsible for rising of oil future prices.
If you have a drill-baby-drill POTUS, not a promise-to-phase-out-oil POTUS, you'll send a strong message to oil suppliers for more productions and even over-production which may not be good to crowded investors, definitely good to consumers.

How is hoping that Biden doesn't do any more damage to the country...cheering AGAINST the country?
It seems unlikely, given his track record, but I certainly hope nothing but good things for America at all times.
It's akin to rooting for Kelly to win a National Championship for ND...as I was growing to dislike him more and more...
They actively cheered against Trump even when it hurt the country to do so. They even cheered the worsening pandemic for the political gains it afforded them and extended the pandemic duration and curtailed rights unnecessarily for political gain.
Thus, Q assumes you would do the same with Biden, and he won’t believe you because of projection. The thing about Liberalism Rule #1 is that some of the less aware liberals accusing others of that which they themselves do actually believe their own lie. They have developed a coping mechanism to ignore the reality of their own behavior.
From the link:
[In George Orwell’s novel, 1984,] "doublethink" is one of the three most important principles of INGSOC (along with the mutability of the past, and Newspeak).
Doublethink refers to the ability to hold two contradictory thoughts in one’s head. ...
[The ideas] are a result of political indoctrination. Meaning, they are only present because [political] force convinced the thinker that both are true. ...
[The term is defined as] Winston Smith is thinking about doublethink. The narrator states:
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself.
