Don’t think I need to summarize this one. This is bad news for everyone.

    What are we going to do about it?

      Well, a lot of people didn’t vote because they believed the genocide/both-sides-are-the-same bullshit, and now Republicans control Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court. But no worries, they are very well-known for their stewardship of the environment, so don’t fret.

        Oh my god I’m so fucking sick of hearing about voting. I’m not even going to have the detailed argument with you about this with you.

        We could waste time arguing how much shorter GHG reductions would fall of the ‘dont end all life’ line under Harris. Yeah. But the fact is we wouldnt get there, we would still have a deep seated fascism problem in thus country, and the government would still be an existential threat to life on earth. It just wouldnt single me out for being queer-which admittedly would have been nice. Oh well.

        Begging establishment mommy wasn’t going to keep humanity as a whole alive any longer than begging establishment creepy pedo uncle will (though, yeah, would have been nice to lower the rape risk when doing so; at least for cis people).

        So tell me: what are you actually going to do about it? Like, picks and shovels, not lanyards and ballots. Autocad not outlook. What are you going to actually DO?

          What are you doing, pal? Maybe stop howling at strangers to do something and calmly explain what you think they should be doing… especially if you can point sincerely to your example.

          You’re very noisy but not very informative. It’s not endearing.

            A lot. I’ve posted ideas elsewhere. I get the sense you would report me if I posted mine here.

            But what actually are yours? Or do you just cry about your favorite oligarch losing a probably-rigged popularity contest, so you have an excuse to feel like a good person while still hating those damn dirty commies?

            I genuinely think we should gather anyone with assets worth more than $1 billion and public flay them. On live TV. Make the message, “if you want to be a piece of shit, we’ll treat you like one.”

            See how long it takes for people to stop wanting to be billionaires.

                Tbf, the average billionaire negatively impacts the environment on a level that is hard for people to comprehend. Most people are really, really bad at understanding volume and scale. Like the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire.

                Example: In 2023, 50 of the world’s richest billionaires took an average of 184 private jet flights per year, emitting as much carbon as the average person would in 300 years. Elon Musk’s two private jets alone emit 5,497 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, which is equivalent to 11 average people’s emissions in their entire lifetimes.

        The biggest shift was in older white and Latino men feeling too insecure to vote for a woman and staying home

        Young people voted the same as always, despite the class war propaganda telling us otherwise
