      hear hear! please stop fighting over the petty things and get to work on the things that matter. electing a president that will fight climate change is far more important than what happens in the middle east.

      I get your frustration. I feel it myself. Still, I fear, calling people assholes won’t be helpful and prevent folks from admitting they did wrong. At the same time, it can always get worse (hotter) and I think it would be best to win as many people over as possible, to do the right thing.

      I don’t know. We’re fucked anyway, I guess.

          mocking is pointless. most conservatives don’t care if you mock them. neutralizing their threat to democracy is the answer.

      I mean the ones that think that trans people shouldn’t have human rights also tend to be the ones who don’t believe in climate change so…
