Sorry, but that's not an option. We can't say we're not going to survive because 77 million people made a dumb choice in one election and millions of other sat it out. Fatalism is a bad look.

The way things are going? If we don't do something now, that's exactly what will happen.

Hopelessness and fatalism is a bad look. There is "nothing" to do now but protest and get ready for the elections next year. Elections are set in time. They don't change because the person in office is so crappy. This is why last year's were so important and a bunch of people blew it.

What makes you think they'll let us have one?? You think they haven't already thought of that? They're trying to rig it right now. Sure, there might be an election, but just like Russia, it would be a sham. They need to be stopped, and we don't seem to have enough balls to do it.

That's fatalism. That does no good. First, the states control the elections- not the feds. The fact that they're trying to gerrymander TX now proves that they're having elections. Trump wants you to believe they won't- don't help him.

That proves that there will be elections. And if the GOP try to cheat like that, since they and Trump are losers, then CA & NY will redistrict to offset it.

It's not fatalism, it's reality, which we need a good dose of. Protests don't do shit - they're running around with their ICE thugs kidnapping people while we do nothing!

People aren't doing "nothing." You're not paying attention. Voters decided to give the Democrats next-to-no power in DC for 2 years. This is the consequence of it. You're not being "realistic"- you're being fatalistic.

Well we better Bastille Day the mother fuckers!!

they preempted that. They called the atack on the capital a "storming" and had the "good guys" (read: the people who are actually sane) draft up all the plans for how to keep it from happening again

People are already dying. I’d say any change causing demonstrable human death gets protests in the streets until reversed

Hahaha, knock yourself(ves) out. Nobody cares.

Well. _someone_ cares. So there’s that. Would you rather just die / let people die?

Who's dying and what are they dying of?

Get a little bit more involved. Studies show that thousands of people are dying. But odds are you dismiss stuff like this out of hand

Don't bother, he's a well known MAGA troll.

I'm well known... how flattering 😂

Oh to be labeled by the anonymous masses 😂

Honestly it’s fun poking the trolls. Either it forces me to do the research to back up my position Or it pokes a little pin in their ego Either way I’m laughing 😎

Except you haven't provided any links to any research, just a catchy screenshot to nothing. Sounds like you're doing a whole lot of projecting.

Well, the screenshot is to a real thing, tbf. You’re just choosing to.. what did I assume again? Dismiss it out of hand. Right.

I dismiss screenshots that make statements with no studies backing them up. Old people die during heat waves? You don't say... 🙄

Ooooh so callous to the avoidable death. That article references studies. Don’t be obtuse. 1500 deaths due to climate change 1100 were old people. First it came for the… etc. Just because your not affected right this second doesn’t mean your not affected.

What article? You posted a screenshot with no links to an article or any studies. 1500 deaths were due to heat waves, not climate change. Heat waves have been claiming thousands of lives for a very long time and you cannot pinpoint the cause to man made climate change.

Bad faith assuming that a screenshot of a link to an article that claims studies say climate change causes death doesn’t site said studies to back itself up. If you want a real discussion, I’ll go do the research. If you want to shitpost, i won’t bother.

It’s in the words, yo. They say “1500 deaths attributed to climate change” If you want to dispute that, let’s put some real effort into a debate. Odds are you don’t want that tho and just want to continue to spout rhetoric.

People have been dying during heat waves forever, that's weather not climate.

What do you think generates the weather? When your crops don’t grow due to weather generated by a changed climate When your cities flood due to weather generated by a changed climate When it snows in Texas and causes society to break down. Etc. Think a bit bigger please

Weather is a complex phenomenon driven by a number of interacting factors in the atmosphere and on the Earth's surface. The primary forces and factors at play include: Solar Radiation: The Sun's energy warms the Earth's surface unevenly, creating temperature differences that drive air and ocean cur

I know you’re aware it’s not called weather change. It’s called climate change.

People have been dying from CC influenced events for over 20 years. A few at first, now accelerating. We shall learn what the pain point is for the deniers. I suspect it is very high, but I know the events are coming. Ironically, it's like watching a glacier approach. Humans don't do long term well.

Not being able to insure and sell their homes might do it. As always, those folks have to get punched in the face before they care about the guy swinging fists.

I'm 71. I've been aware of human caused climate change since the mid 1980s. I've watched as every actual prediction by the climate scientists has been exceeded (not the misunderstood predictions of the denier mob). Humanity is in for a very rough ride & most people alive today will feel the impact.

I'm sorry to say this, but you have what you deserve. You personally are a collateral from all the others decisions. it is time this empire to fall and this is the beginning.

WTF are you talking about? Most of us voted against that asshole, and we know he had his buddy Elon help him steal the election.

I mean that you are right, USA won't survive this, it will break apart with probably new countries after a civil war
