    I think we’ve already demonstrated our willingness to change, which is to say, we’ve already demonstrated how unwilling we are, as a whole, to change.

    Isn’t much else to it. We will act too late, too little, and we will have some extremely hard times to endure at some point.

    My only regret is that I will have brought children to this world to eat the consequences… 😩

      So happy my partner and I decided to never have children. Humanity is doomed.

      When you say “we”, what I hear is “conservatives”. Normal people are willing to change. Conservatives are not. And since they protect the billionaire class, we are all stuck.

      Conservatives are killing us. They know this and mock us for being upset about it.

          Only delusional people thing the Democrats actually want to help them. They’re all crooked, the Republicans are just more open about it.

        I don’t even think its fair to blame it all in conservatives. Our governments are failing us as a whole

          Our government in the U.S. has been some flavor of conservative this whole time. Neo-liberals are conservatives. They are smarter and better dressed, but they are still just conservatives who serve the ultra-wealthy.

          If we want progress, we need progressives.

            If we want progress we need to get corruption out of government. Nothing will change no matter who is in office until that happens

              So… remove conservatives then. Corruption is a conservative trait. Neo-liberals are conservatives, so they should be removed with them.

                  What the total fuck are you talking about? Conservatives aren’t the “victims” of corruption. They are the ones engaging in corruption. They are the ones who benefit from it.

                  Defending conservatives is fucking grotesque. Stop. They neither need nor want your defense.

                    Im not defending anyone, you are missing the point. they both suck the democrats engage in corruption too if you dont think they do you are an absolute dumbass. If you knew how to use your brain you would understand the difference between defending conservatives and hating everyone equally. Neither of the two sides are doing ANYTHING for you, everything BOTH SIDES DO is to benefit the rich, they just frame it differently. Same end goal, keep money flowing to the rich and special interest and lobby groups. Its simple.

                    So maybe you should stop defending democrats and ask for some real fucking change other than both garbage sides perpetuating the same broken system. Dumbass.

                    With your username im sure youre open to actually constructive criticism of the democrats /s.
