Just do it
Would that I could.
It's easy, simply be a US citizen over 18 years of age in a state or territory that has representation in the election of the president, duh!
If you already are that, check https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote for further instructions and limitations
You may be eligible to vote by mail if access to a polling place is a concern for you.
Pretty sure they're implying that they aren't American
This is sooo unpatriotic I'm literally crying /s
Thank you! It seems unfair that only Americans get to vote on whether or not the climate gets destroyed.
Not that Harris has ever presented a particularly strong position on climate change.
#woooooooosh
of those affected very few can vote and of those that can very few do.
Easy for you to say. I am not that.
If Trump wins there won't be another millennia, shit there might not be one anyway with the way the corpos are running the world into the ground with no signs of stopping.
Millenium*
Millennia is plural
I dunno. Europe, the US, and Canada wreaked havoc across the globe for 400+ years and ppl continue the gloss over it. I'm voting for anyone not Trump but to pretend a facist sociopath from a white majority country never left a trail of destruction in their wake sounds like revisionist history.
None of them ever fixed what happened and now we have Trump. Only difference between then and now is its going to actually affect white ppl.
Ah yes a lot of bad history happened so more bad history is simply meh and not a threat. You’re truly saying that a narcissistic dementia patient who dreams of being Putin with an out of control biased Supreme Court and full immunity is not a notable threat?
pretend a facist sociopath from a white majority country never left a trail of destruction in their wake sounds like revisionist history.
This has never happened in US history and that is notable given what the US can accomplish these days (and consider it won’t just be the US when Trump teams up with his dictator lovers). You think it was bad before? Does it make you feel good to paint this threat as just more of the same?
What a take, especially since this article is simply talking about how the ramifications will spread to generations, nobody is saying how this is THE greatest threat ever and anything else wasn’t shit.
Who are you even responding to
to pretend a fascist sociopath from a white majority country never left a trail of destruction in their wake sounds like revisionist history.
Who is doing this?
Right off the top of my head. Putin
Oh.
How is that pertinent to this post or discussion? Or do you just want to talk about Putin being a dick? Because I'm all on board with that.
Naah, the rest of us will just do what we did last time he was in the WH. Ignore for the most part whatever nonsense he spouts, host him occasionally because after all he is the US President and we need to keep good relations with the US, and otherwise just get on with life while America inspects its own arsehole for four years, then breathe a sigh of relief when he leaves.
Ukraine might be fucked though. Depends if Europe can step up to fill in for what no longer comes from across the pond.
The article is mostly about his impact on climate change efforts. You can certainly ignore it if you want, because there's a lot of anxiety to be had over it.
He most definitely would screw up the little things we are trying to do, but I'm not convinced what we're doing is nearly enough, so I suspect it won't have the impact this article claims.
