If So Many Americans Care About Climate, Why Don’t They Vote Like It? 11.2 million. That’s the number of Americans who rank climate as a their top priority but didn’t vote in the 2024 US elections (coveringclimatenow.org)

What’s not cute, is how there are people fucking stupid enough to not understand the simple concept that when your opponent is a anti-environmental fascist-

YOU VOTE AGAINST THE ANTI-ENVIRONMENTAL FASCIST.

It can’t get any easier, yet you people STILL don’t seem to understand it. Let me put it another way:

When you have cancer- YOU TAKE THE CHEMO. You live to fight anther day. You don’t say,

“Yeah, no. Chemo sucks. I don’t want to get sick, so, let the cancer take me.” This is PURE ignorance.

    Well, if the supposed opposition is anti-environmental fascist-supporters, then they aren't going to get people out to vote.

    Your analogy is severly flawed. The Democrats are less like chemo, and more like alcohol. It makes you feel like the pain is going away, but in the end, it's only helping the cancer.

    Exactly. If they aren't a Fetterman, then vote for them no matter what.

    The only way voting will be ever be effective again is if we shift the Overton window back. The only way to do that (in regards to voting) is to vote for leftists at the local and state level. The ones that actually win are running under the Democrat banner.

    That's pretty much the only way we get out of this mess democratically speaking. That said, we do need to be doing more than just voting to have any actual chance.
