VP Biden...please!!! use your connections that you have developed over the years

with our allies and other countries in the Paris Climate Change Accords... to slow walk our coming out of the accords.. so that when our Democratic nominee wins, they can pull us back into the accords.

It takes time to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Accords. The way it is currently set up, the U.S. actually pulls out of the accords the day after the 2020 election. If a Democrat wins the Presidency, the pullout is dead.

pulling out of the treaty. So our next Democratic President in 2020 will not have to rebuild from the bottom up. There will enough to try and rebuild our alliances as is.

People in the Nixon campaign in '68 thought it would be a good idea to interfere with the Vietnam peace talks.

People in the Reagan campaign in 1980 thought it would be a good idea to coordinate with the Iranians.

People in the Trump campaign in 2016 though it would be a good idea to coordinate with Russians.

It makes no difference whether it is with foes or allies, for a political campaign to coordinate with foreign governments invites foreign interference in US politics.

Private citizens are not allowed to conduct foreign policy (see Michael Flynn, Rudy Giuliani, Paul Manafort, etc)

Let's not be like Republicans.
