1) they don't need new land, they use land that already exists, 2) from the same place they come from now, materials required for solar are insignificant compared to O&G production, and 3) none, it is unnecessary.

Spoken like someone who has actually tried to do good work and make progress. Turns out doing good things is very hard.

They will always get there, they can't help themselves. These guys always take, and take, and take until it blows up in their faces. They're ruining countless lives and the planet itself in the process, but they will and are overextending.

They can't rig or stop the election, but they can refuse to seat the winners. That's going to be their play, it's the easiest thing for them to do. "rigged election, fake results, we're declaring an emergency and locking the Capitol doors"

There is some cool and interesting history to learn about and see over there. It's buried under a hundred miles of awful shit and oppression, anywhere else is better.

I love this country and I hate these people. We need to crush them utterly, god damn.

I think she would have been way easier to pressure to end the genocide than Trump, absolutely. We'd have done much better there with her. Anything she did on deportations would be absolutely nothing compared to what Trump is doing now. I have no problem with a powerful military, see Ukraine.

pretty good, there was a lot of stuff that would have been great. help with down payments, care for my parents paid for by Medicare, more student debt relief, more and more climate action. all sorts of good stuff. would have been pretty great to have that instead of what we have right now, you know?
