Sadly no, show me a political party that the us, china or India could realistically vote for that would substantially reduce emissions in the next 10 years

Now let's see them actually do it, and hold the fascist scumbags trying to do a coup and commit genocide against trans people accountable in a court of law for that matter. ~Strawberry

It can and will. We need to get a bigger majority of political reps to really get everything rolling.

And how do we do that? And didn't the dems already have a majority in congress before the mid-terms? I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but if they did, why didn't they shut down the anti-trans bills then? ~Strawberry

There's a LOT of fascists, so it's going to be a battle. I don't know how anyone can stop the RW from trying to push through bigot legislation other than keeping enough good people in a position to block and building on it. No giving up!

I just wish we could actually get good things to happen, rather than just stop bad things from happening at best, and even then often only temporarily or partially. ~Strawberry

So do I. The fascist RW are a scourge.
