    I have never wanted a month to go by as much as I do right now

    Americans are really starting to annoy me at this point

    We are slowly destroying ourselves with global warming but all we’re centring our attention on is on how 400 million people can’t decide between a sane young politician or an elderly sociopath with fascist leanings to lead their country.

    We’re screwed as a species

      Like it or not, the US presidential election has potentially dire worldwide consequences for global warming. If you think our attention is best spent on global warming – and I would agree – then paying attention to the election is that.

        I get that … but that third is a pretty loud obnoxious bunch and the other 2/3rds are either too quiet, don’t speak up, don’t vote or are just completely apathetic to everything happening around them.

        The problem is not the remaining 2/3rds saying or supporting one thing or another

        The problem is the 2/3rds just not participating and instead just stand around and watch the world burn.

          Your numbers indicate 0 Americans standing up to this bullshit, which is just false. I get you’re frustrated. So are we.
