I was talking as compared to other democrats. Hes not as progressive as people think.

That said yeah obviously I’d be to the moon if he was president right now.

Right now because Trump won a second time I’m dead inside. And I think I’ll probably be dead inside forever because even if we elect someone better in 2028 I’ll know we elected Trump twice. That will haunt me forever.

Jon Stewart is kind of meh. I guess I’d vote for him though.

Only up to a point, fossil fuels getting cheaper will reach a point where it wont be worth extraction outside of for niche customers.

If renewables become plentiful and cheap enough globally fossil fuels will more or less die off in use, even if right now they’re going upward in use its temporary. The problem is we’re stuck with severe consequences even if they do eventually largely stop. We’re stuck with severe consequences if they stop this very instant in fact.

What we really want is renewable energy to become so cheap and plentiful that not only do fossil fuels stop being used but carbon capture technology’s high energy cost becomes null and it just becomes a net good. ATM the technology is useless because the high energy cost ends up just putting more co2 into the air anyway than is removed.

That’s victorian era morals super charged by protestant evangelical puritanism. Kids are perfect innocent angels that become hyper corrupted by the sin of nakedness and the flesh.

The USA never seems to get past this in particular.

I just can’t even stand the personality of someone who’s first fucking instinct when they see violent or sexual media is “If I don’t like it no one should be allowed to see it.” Fuck off.
