TIL Jane Goodall is still alive.
This has been said my entire life and I have reached the conclusion that any election year where a republican or a democrat wins is not the most import election. It will be the most important when we decided to move on and stop repeated the same process.
The climate is the most important issue we face, that is why it is critical that we reelect the president who has unilaterally renewed and expanded oil and gas leases to make the US the worlds largest Petroleum supplier once again.
I can't understand how Americans can believe they are an actual democracy. There are only two parties with actual chances. They both have the exact same position in anything that matters economically, they both won't stop to fuck the future of everybody in the planet because they are owned by the same megacorps. but they have minor disagreements about how hard it should be to buy guns at Wal-Mart, so let's pretend your vote makes any difference at all...
Sorry but I've been hearing this every election since I was old enough to vote.
yawn
That's right everyone, it's that time again, THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFE! You of course only have 2 "real" choices, and if you vote for anyone beside who I think you should vote for you are a racist, a sexist, a fascist, you smell bad, you are a bigot, you are selfish, you are naive, and hundreds of other things. I'm a VERY serious political commentator who happens to be extremely privileged with the status quo, so make sure to vote within the parameters I've outlined above, our democracy depends on it.
The choice between an atomic bomb or a pipe bomb is still a choice and one that will make sure the least amount of damage will be done, but you keep being big mad.
Interesting point. I think I will vote for feeding the homeless and universal healthcare instead of a pipe bomb because while there is pipe bombs and atomic bombs on the ballet... there are also other things. Why would I vote for a pipe bomb? lol that would be a dumb thing to do, I could hurt myself.
Yeah... Vote third party. This is the best time to do that. Brilliant move. The atomic bomb thanks you.
Right, I'll be voting for the candidate who said they establish UBI using funds from a carbon and meat tax.
One candidate, I wish he was doing more, but he's doing a lot with the bad hand he was dealt.
The other candidate has called climate change a hoax and will not only do nothing, but will prevent others from taking action.
The next few years do indeed mark a possible turning point in climate change. If the US shows good leadership on the world stage, that will be instrumental in mitigating the worst of climate change. Four years of Trump (or Haley, if Trump somehow loses the primary) is too many years.
Pretty sure I've heard this every election since Trump got elected. Though, admittedly, not from a noted gorilla scientist.
Having one party interested in ending democracy will do that.
Absolutely Jane.
Hmm.. So apparently most lemmy users on this sub are fuckin morons, eh. Well I'm shocked
