It's crazy to me the number 1 thing politicians aren't debating and trying to get us on their side about right now isn't global warming. This will literally end the world in 60 years! We need to make AGGRESSIVE changes to EVERYTHING! But y'all wanna cry that trans people exist??? FUCK OFFFF
It's simple. We're electing capitalists and none of them want to accept that line can't always go up. That maybe there's some things that are going to be hard, that might suck in a short term capacity, but that are necessary long term.
You don't understand, even though we have way better ways of transporting people from point A to point B, much more efficient ways to boil water to make electricity, and have plenty of ways to make farming more sustainable, we GOTTA keep things the way they are because change is scary.
it's been proven by polls and other metrics that if the Dems talk about climate change(which Harris has a lot of plans for actually), undecided voters will lose interest in the campaign. Climate change is like poison to a campaign rn. People really don't want to hear about it
If not end the world, certainly send us careening into another ice age, and idk how many people would be prepared for that
One will imply in deep economic changes, the other is an excuse to control people and their bodies The protocol is clear (true for most countries, SPECIALLY in the US)
Neoliberal parties like US Democrats and UK Labour have ceded so much ground to conservatives that they have effectively become center right. Oh, sure, they're not as back as the conservatives, but they don't challenge capital and all its ills.
That is because it is likely to involve some very unpopular policy decisions that everyone will hate. Ever since the 90s they've been kicking the can down the road, but there's not much road left. I'm not a doomer, but I understand how the doomers got that way.
It's so scary that besides politicians, even a lot of people just don't care, because they don't believe it. You have no idea how often I've heared the phrase "It's been that hot in the 50's as well". That's a dangerous mix of people who will just not help to fix the problem
