I hope you are unaware that 1kiki's signature is And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

It is a Russian tactic to spread the notion/claim that both sides in American politics are equally bad.

This may be the best essay I've read on the topic.

She's a little off on the Yellow Vest protests, but that's a minor quibble. It shows the how and why.

They are.

I'm not Russian.

I was also saying so when GWB was in office. Back when nobody cared about Russia.

You expect too much from government. I found an explanation of why people have such ridiculously oversized, impractical expectations of what politicians can do but not about what they can do for themselves. They are too easy on themselves and too hard on politicians: http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=61954&mid=10709

I forgot to mention that when Bush was governor of Texas, he was already a liar and that he would destroy his Texas National Guard service records using his power as governor. It was no surprise he would lie about Iraq's non-existing WMDs. It was definitely no surprise that when he was warned about the possibility of a 9/11 attack he would say, “All right, you’ve covered your ass now” and then he did nothing because he is fundamentally good-for-nothing. The next GOP President would be lazier and more dishonest, making Bush look good in comparison, but both Bush and Trump were climate change deniers while in the White House.

Perhaps you can point to those wondrous greenhouse-gas reductions the democrats accomplished.



But, you obviously CAN'T show how the democrats actually DID something - no matter how minimal - to irl, yanno, fix the problem..

And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

btw, I sort-of agree with shf - I think we're probably toast. And a long time ago I said my goodbyes to the wonderful earth I used to know. Even if we survive, nothing is going to be as beautiful and generous as it was. Or as Monbiot said, 'goodbye kind earth'.

I just am extremely irritated by our resident idiots who think that Trump caused the entire global warming problem all by himself in just the last 2 years. REALLY? What kind of an idiotic nutcase do you have to be to think that?

Unless you understand that the entire political structure - that's BOTH parties, in case anyone is wondering - is shackled to our current economic structure and its elite - nothing is going to get fixed. Changing the face of the figurehead will accomplish zero.
