      Technically, not voting because we do care, and learned the lesson from malcolm-checks that a ballot is like a bullet, and should not be cast until you have a target you want in your sights.

      I would be arguing a democrat should be voted for if they ended US imperialism, protected abortion rights, legalized weed, provided universal healthcare, gave more than vocal support to LGBT+ rights, and–critically important–weren’t genocidal.

        So I guess that my vote is real, real easy to get. Huh.

        If it’s my vote that will prevent the loss of democracy forever, and stopping Trump is the absolute most important issue we face, maybe Biden should just roll over on a few of those things.

        But he won’t, because he’d rather bomb brown kids than actually stop Trump.

        Anyway, bargain’s on the table, but I don’t think the democrats will go for it. It’s less painful for their capitalist backers to just use stooges like you to chastise the leftists than to ever throw them an easy bone to gain their vote. And I do mean easy. I manage to not bomb brown kids every day. You just, don’t bomb them. Simple.

          If stopping Trump is the absolute most important issue we face, maybe Biden should Officially drone strike him which is legal for him to do now as long as it’s Official.

          Oh, I forgot meaningful action on climate change; particularly relevant given the thread topic. That too. Though now with the supreme court’s new ruling, I’d probably define “meaningful action on climate change” as the summary execution of the heads and boards of every fossil fuel company.

      How do I vote for the one that gets the emissions targets that don’t kill 2 billion people and starts a nuclear war over freshwater supply in the 2040s?

      As a non American, I’m still very much effected by America’s impact on the climate. I can say with certainty that most of us don’t give a shit which carcass gets hauled into the white house and we really want your country to collapse. So do that plz

      Then they have the correct position, at least on the second part (and honestly I doubt anyone there doesn’t care). Voting won’t make one goddamn lick of a difference on this issue and if you think it will, you’re painfully naive.

      What part of the holding did you think they got the law wrong? I think the EPA shot themselves in the foot by not responding to the issues presented during the comment period as required.
