I think that takes more thought than even those who vote with us do. I think we seriously overestimate the political intelligence of the people in this country. Not to say 0% were those people, but if we're talking millions I think we're talking about typical ignorance.

I think the vast majority vote D for social issues, but once their pocketbook gets hurt it's time to sit it out or worse "punish" the party in power by voting for the opposition. :(

They succeeded in punishing the party. For a price. We'll revisit later if it was worth it.

It would take 100 years minimum to undo the damage that will be done, so I'm going to say "not worth it".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The damage to the environment will never be undone. The US will double-down on emissions and most other countries in the world will stop trying because they won't think there's any point anymore.

Oh it will recover alright. About a million years after we go extinct. So in about 1.00005 million years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Extinction is going to take more than fifty years

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Probably. I think nukes could do it in 20 years, but ecological collapse will be a brutal 200 years

if you listen to interviews of non voters they're not even online. Ever. Like we need more people reaching out to real humans in the real world. they don't listen to news they arent online. I don't think democrats were ever going to win this one, too many voters are entirely unreachable.
