    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…

    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.

    Pretty sure I’ve heard this every election since Trump got elected. Though, admittedly, not from a noted gorilla scientist.

          The partial imperfect one that a big chunk of Americans vote in between last week and November.

            The United States of America is a bourgeois dictatorship, not a democracy. The only important election of our lives will be the first one after the Workers take control.

            I plan on voting Claudia and Karina 2024 and I recommend that others do the same.

              There are sometimes local races with only one candidate, but most races have more than one. Doesn’t mean that they’re all decent choices. But people can and do vote as they choose.

        Exactly. This sounds eerily similar to Bush v Gore. Trump is more distasteful than Bush, but at least he didn’t get us into multiple “forever” wars. And Biden doesn’t seem to care much about green policy, at least not compared to Gore.

        I’m not voting for Trump, just wanted to agree that the argumentation sounds very similar.

    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.

      it gives me so much pleasure to know that yours is a minority viewpoint on the fediverse; perhaps you should go back to reddit, or facebook, or whatever group think hole you crawled out from.
