Trump is an immediate existential threat, as he was for the Million Americans who perished from COVID over two years due to a purposefully sandbagged and almost entirely useless pandemic response. Climate it really important, but there are more important things, and climate is not a winner trying to get the Christofascists to NOT vote for the Orange Hitler
I rabidly disagree that there is any more important topic than climate change. If you have read the actual studies and data about it, you would agree with me. If it is not addressed in a timely manner (read: a decade ago, but better late than never) there will be billions dead WITHIN YOUR LIFETIME.
good thing neither US party wants to deal with it quickly! :(

The problem isn't "people think something else is important" — it's mostly that nobody hears about the big issue in the first place because the press is covering other issues.
Some people just can't focus on two things, even if you can.
Like, people keep pretending Biden is some climate activist...
He blew straight past Trump's record fossil fuels production records and set his own.
And sure, less domestic use sounds good, but it would actually be better than shipping coal across the globe using fossil fuels before burning the coal.
I don't know if it's long term effects of COVID or what, but these last few years I'm constantly overestimating people.
just heard a blurb from him about ending electric car subsidies on day one and his crowd cheered.
They only cheer for things that cause harm. The louder a conservative cheers, the more deadly the news.
Conservatism is a cancer that will kill us all if it is not stopped.
Bunch of zombies
Haven't ev makers just raised prices by whatever the subsidy amount is? So not like that actually affects the masses.
nope. usual supply and demand at play. same as you won't pay more if they have an idea that you can pay more. The salesman may try but ultimately the price is the same.
There is a strange, substantive vacuum in this campaign cycle.
Yeah, almost like people are focusing on comparatively piddly bullshit on one side and ignoring mountains of terrible on the other, because ya gotta keep the horse race going, and because you gotta make the worst of one side equal to the best on the other. Even when they're still leagues apart.
The Republican party is burning political capital in Congress so that Congress doesn't conduct a 14a3 vote to remove the disqualification from office clouding Trump's candidacy. The trials are a red herring. Our options are status quo or acceleration and it turns out the fascists have been greasing the wheels of American politicians for years.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump sat down with oil executives and told them that if he wins, he’ll scrap a slew of President Biden’s clean energy and other environmental regulations they don’t like — as long as they raise $1 billion for him.
The response?
Crickets.
Trump’s pay-for-play move was frequently described as “transactional.” The right word is “corrupt.”

I figured it was a given. If Trump gets elected, climate change accelerates. Does anyone think any different?
There are so many things to finish "corrupt anti-_______ agenda" phrase. It's about time Americans stop voting for single issues.
Americans just need to vote. Low turnout historically results in Republican Presidents.
Inaction is action.
Exactly. Unfortunately even with that being all the republican party has the Dems can't seem to care enough to beat it.
The US military is one of the worlds largest polluters. Biden has spent 10x more money on the military than climate change initiatives. Speaking concern about climate change, than doing little to mitigate it sounds anti climate to me.
Except Biden has been decreasing the size of the military and growing the C.C.C.
And is also beginning the conversion of the military to green energy.
Try again, I'm sure you can make better anti-biden propaganda than this.
Sure, shrinking the Army with an ever expanding military budget.
This is 1 location out of nearly 1000 military bases and facilities, all of which still remain to be the worlds largest polluter.
