How do you plan to succeed with the DNC???

[–] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Exactly this. They're not a political party they are a corporate entity whose job is sitting in chairs to block actual political parties from having a chance

They're Congress. They can "roll back" laws because their job is making laws. Why do they need "obscure" laws to do this?

This is all by design. They no interest in winning

Yeah but legally Congress allocates funds. This isn't binding (yeah yeah I know, none of these people care about the law)

No nation-state in my lifetime has taken the real and necessary steps to mitigate/slow it.

Tankies will crow about China, but the truth is that China adopted the happy motoring lifestyle after relying on bicycles for decades.

Unless you drastically reduce cars and airplanes and cargo ships, nothing will change. Unless we pretty much stop eating beef, nothing will change.

If you actually priced environmental damage into the cost of oil, literally no business would be profitable. Instead we even subsidize it. The result is the world we have now.

We will suck every drop of oil from the ground even as we are choking on the CO2

We're never going to stop or even mitigate climate change...

Journalists do care (most...). It's not a job for dispassionate people.

It's publishers and managing editors who are the problem. They represent the institutions. They decide what goes to print
