Mexal Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I love how Fox News isn't showing any coverage of the Women's Marches across the country. Pretty much a state run news organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also tell it to many people in coastal regions, who don't have the ressources to build a wall big enough to avoid the floods that will be happening.

Commodore Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 1 minute ago, Dr. Pepper said: Yeah, CNN is total fail right now. They missed out on Ashley Judd interrupting Michael Moore in order to delivery an amazing spoken poem. Hillary lost to Trump among white women by 10 points, and non-college educated white women by 28 points. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/clinton-couldnt-win-over-white-women/ Quote That's the point people are making. We're talking about the voters who do not care about their kids futures enough to vote for politicians who will protect those interests. This isn't true and even if it was, shame/guilting voters is a bad political strategy. Near term costs outweighing long term benefits is a justifiable tradeoff judgement voters make. Until tangible effects of climate change are manifest (you can say they are, but voters don't see it yet), it's not going to matter politically. On, "issues that matter most" surveys of voters, climate change never shows up, despite a relentless, sustained campaign from media/entertainment/academic/government elites telling us what a big deal it is (and when they don't feel like it's having an impact, they crank up the chicken little apocalypse predictions to 11, further damaging their credibility). Trump is going to try and give the people what he thinks they want, good or bad, and it certainly isn't action on climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the crowds but some of the speakers. Mex, there was at least 4 minutes between your two posts. For the love of god man, how could you survive so long in such an unbearable state??? Someone make a new thread so we can bury my shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that you don't care. It means that you don't care about what the effects of climate change will have on your children and their future. Of course we know that Trump isn't going to do shit about climate change. He thinks it's a hoax. His voters don't want him to do anything about it because they don't give a shit. You've agreed they don't give a shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
