I wish I still had hope. It feels like one step forward and two steps back. Arguing about supporting genocide less, and we haven’t even begun the discussion on microplastics, their effects on our health & environment, and how to deal with all that create them.
Sure, but voting for better options for not only president but down ballot is really less effort than shitposting on here. I dont blame anyones dismal outlooks, but the doomerism isnt doing us any favors. We need cooperation and the formation of stronger social bonds.
Dont forget that most of us here in the US are in the (globally) rare and privileged position of not being at direct risk of perishing due to the fucked climate. Its not us so much as the island and desert dwelling folks that are truly fucked. If we want to mitigate the already unreasonable damage weve caused, it will be done here in the rich and powerful countries who have the means to do anything about it in the first place.
While i wish our system was different, the way to change it involves taking all available paths.
We need to protect the LGBTQ friends, bc they are on our side.
We need to protect our democracy, bc it remains our primary outlet for change.
If youre capable of takong direct action, do so, build strong bonds with ur neighbors and peers, but vote in the meantime as well. Theres more elections than just the general presidential, and looking into whose running and what they want takes me very little time for the most part.
Weve no choice but to be the future we wish to see in spite of all the bullshit.
So you’re saying it’s hopeless…
I do feel hopeless sometimes yes. But perhaps we should say “You vote for Democrats and they haven’t yet won enough”, to give us some hope
