  • I don’t like the phrasing here. The Democratic party could have done better. They weren’t forced not to. They chose to support genocide, they chose to run a dementia patient, they chose to appoint a wildly unpopular candidate, they chose to appeal to the center right, and they chose to run without clear economic policies. I genuinely believe they could have won while still supporting genocide if they didn’t do everything so awfully. I mean seriously, the Cheneys? Ffs

    This is severe cope. The democrats are not being controlled by big money they are big money, they chose this and failed us. We don’t need to continue apologizing for them and pretending they have our best interest at heart. We need to abandon them just as they abandoned us here.























  • But they are being marketed as a very sustainable and ecologically friendly method of transportation which they very much are not. There’s no straw man there I just used a hypothetical to accentuate the meaninglessness of “more sustainable” forms of overconsumption. Cars are an incredibly wasteful and absurd form of daily transportation; especially in mass. The fight against climate change will directly affect your life and you will have to change aspects of your life for the benefit of the world as a whole. We cannot continue our path of overconsumption and overproduction and expect it to just work out or become sustainable in the future somehow. If the solution is being sold it isn’t the solution

    Obviously, I’m aware that no one believes EVs will single handedly solve climate change. I’m not stupid and I don’t think you are either



  • That’s quite the conclusion jump. You can be critical of EVs from a leftist perspective even if so much EV hate is from conservatives.

    EVs are an improvement from petrol powered vehicles but they are not in any way good. There is still plenty of pollution from the construction of the vehicle, the transport of materials, the atomized rubber from the tires, and the pollution from it’s energy source (even if it’s less total greenhouse gas emissions as opposed to a petrol based vehicle). EVs will not save the climate even if every car was replaced.
