    Geez, here is another issue for which we’ve known about for 40 or so years that requires “urgent Action” for the past 40 years already

      Boomers have categorically chosen apathy in favor of their own self interests since 1970. By the late 90s, they were a wrecking ball.

        I disagree. People who live their entire lives being relentless bombarded by consumerist propaganda and pro-capitalist disinformation are not truly free to vote against it, nor were they given the chance. Al Gore cared more about the environment than Bush, but he was still a capitalist that supported car dependency and the military industrial complex.

          Which is why replacing First-past-the-post voting is so important. We need to have more then two options.

          Democrats believe in democracy right? What’s the hold up blue states?

      You might as well just take the long nap.

      No ones gonna do anything.

      We’re gonna keep wringing our hands about it, desperately shout time is running out…and watch time run out, then shrug our shoulders and go “Welp, nothing we can do about it now”
