That'll be the fate of a lot of the world, especially heat in India, flooding in SE Asia, etc. But if you're in Michigan, near a bunch of bodies of fresh water, you'll probably be fine for a very long time.

I also am not in Michigan, and don't own property on a lake. But it's also not a short sighted viewpoint when your original point was that "We and our children will drown in floods, starve in drought and burn in unbearable heat..." That's simply not true for a lot of people in the first world. In terms of personal politics, I believe that every oil executive should be shot, and people who think Biden is some climate savior have a screw loose. But clearly the green party isn't going to ever win any national elections (it does decently locally), so the US will keep chugging along and drilling more, but will export the consequences elsewhere, as it has always done. And of course the US will shut its borders and refuse climate immigrants - it's literally happening right now. We can all see what's coming. But life will continue just fine for many in the first world.

Yes, let's keep punching left as Democrats lose even the moderates they exclusively cater to now.

Instead, Mr. Biden’s losses are concentrated among moderate and conservative Democratic-leaning voters, who nonetheless think that the system needs major changes or to be torn down altogether. Mr. Trump wins just 2 percent of Mr. Biden’s “very liberal” 2020 voters who think the system at least needs major changes, compared with 16 percent of those who are moderate or conservative.

You're the one making memes making fun of leftists, not me. Apparently you should be making memes alienating centrist voters instead.

Dinsmore ,

the media is doing a really bad work on covering it.

Yep, that's pretty much by design. Most large media companies rely on these same companies (or parents/subsidiaries) for the bulk of their advertising revenue.

Yes, states control how elections are run in their state.

I have a feeling that the people who upvote this meme hate "trump voters" because of their complicity.

Dinsmore ,

I thought of a few ways to respond to this, but I think I'll just let your comment stand as-is. It's a good encapsulation of the mindset, thanks.

Dinsmore ,

Solid take, but have you seen the other replies? A bunch of liberals explaining that trump voters are complicit is "totally OK because it's so different!" I took this meme to be another castigation of leftists saying they would not vote for Biden because he's responsible for killing more than 30k civilians in Gaza - our daily vote blue no matter who reminder. Thus any vote for Biden makes you NOT complicit in genocide because it's not a blood pact, so please vote blue. Yet they will immediately turn around and claim that any vote for Trump IS in fact a blood pact and makes you complicit. It just gets exhausting.

How can Biden not be the greater evil? Biden is directly responsible for the deaths of so many. To not prevent the further deaths of innocent Palestinians, especially when the cost would be to simply NOT provide weapons to Israel is unconscionable. Isn't believing that voting for Biden would improve material conditions madness, when he has shown time and time again that he does not desire peace, but the furtherance of the military-industrial complex no matter what?

I've got one of those guitars too! Super light, really fun to play.
