  • No, you’re intentionally ignorant.

    If both are unsuitable for the climate cause, it doesn’t mean you get a 3rd option. It means the climate is irrelevant for this election. In that case you lost the chance to have a climate relevant option many years ago. Voting a 3rd party or not voting will not pressure the candidates to do anything for the climate now. Even the threat of letting the authoritarian fascist win comes too late, because third parties are already out.

    Also, if the US doesn’t elect the democrat candidate now, trump will be elected and there will be no way of doing anything for the climate with the US any more, likely forever.

    The ship has sailed. You can only choose how bad you lose now.


  • dood. the problem is, you wrote

    Anyone who call to imperatively vote for the red and blue party is an enemy of the climate cause and of humanity.

    Which in an electoral college system means you want votes to be wasted and increase the risk the orange menace wins, who is the bigger enemy of the climate cause and of humanity.

    Basically your words contradict your goals at the moment and it even raises the suspicion you’re trying to manipulate ppl for the GOP or foreign actors (which favor the GOP).

    This is not the time to vote 3rd party or abstain. This is lesser evil time. The US isn’t a country where this is done with coalitions like in EU or so. If you wanted a 3rd party to win this election, that ship has sailed. For the next, maybe, but don’t confuse ppl who should vote now.







  • look, when it freezes and russia gained land, it’s like a win for them. it will encourage them to rearm and start over or attack another country, then freeze again. over and over. some people are assholes and you can’t have peace with them, because of them, not you. they will always start a war again, if they don’t have to fear being destroyed or at least lose a bit of their territory.

    i understand you want the killing to stop and it’s good and where we should be heading, but there hasn’t been a single day in more than 5000 years without an armed conflict and we just don’t know how much before that, because there’s not much recorded. humans are not there yet. the asshole to peaceful ratio is not in our favor.

    the vast majority of russians likes this war. as long as they do, there will be no peace. every ceasefire will be broken by them. for them to stop, they must be destroyed. it’s like Germany back in WW2. Germany had to be beaten and destroyed to become a normal, non-aggresive nation. it sucks, but this is how humans are at the moment.
