I honestly don’t understand why we talk about eliminating the Electoral College when it literally requires some states to vote in favor of giving up their own power. In what economy of incentives is this even possible?

I would respond by saying that focusing on the attitude or values of an individual or individual type is a convenient distraction from the truth that it is extremely impractical to do what you ask, at scale. The change has to be systemic. And the only systemic change that is practically on the table, is letting the system spin faster until it breaks. That is the only practical, proven path.

Name anything like this in history. Old solutions are well defended against by those in power

Not yet. Happy to jump when there is a viable alternative. I’m not willing to give up all the conveniences and efficiency for a cause. Also, these campaigns rarely actually work. I would be more interested if there were an actual well thought out migration pattern in motion for regular consumers who will never care but spend most of the money

Antarctic drilling is legal again

It’s fine. It’s been normalized

Like that?

There is a difference between infotainment and propaganda. Both give you what you want but charge a different price.

If you are going to make a statement like that, you should really back it up w primary sources.

That was all very organic.

This is certainly what they want you to think.

The fact is that “both sides” (sorry) are selling a pill for doom. The fire meme above is whatever Trumps latest scary/dumb thing he said, or it’s 40 network cameras focused on a 100 SqYd patch of a city that wants to be on the news.

It’s whatever will mobilize you to donate, click, watch, buy, and yes, vote.

We only got the fire meme because we don’t understand fire.

That seems like identity politics. Her party is in power to make change now, yet they choose not to. I could spell it out, but Tucker Carlson would say it’s stickier to let them misunderstand it through their own bias.

Her boss does. What is he waiting for?

DHL is a very troubled company and should not be trusted. This is an ROI study agreement between DHL and Tesla.

Why do we keep having this discussion when IT WONT ever happen? It’s a grift at this point. A boogie man to raise funds against, like Trump.

Abolishing the Electoral College would require the approval of some of the states that would lose power.

The only way it happens is if we pay them off for their vote.

Dang it I already forwarded this to my church group o well.

Same thing happened to Jeff Goldblum but he got weirder

Now the old one near my house is a church.

This guy is really into pizza.

Awww c’mon. I hear Dems say that about Trump ALL tHe tImE!!

Unfortunately it is this attitude that is responsible for effectively zero actual motion. When we “look at the positive” in this situation, it does not help the situation, it hurts. “If I save a single Sea Turtle” by using an aluminum pipe for a straw. . . is my Mother’s way of patting herself on the back, getting the microdose of dopamine, and moving on to solve the next crisis.

We did it for 40 years, walking an extra 10 yards to a recycle bin to toss that water bottle and feeling good because we didn’t make the Indian (sic) guy cry . Yet, with all that time and technology, we haven’t made more than a 9% dent in the bulk of “recyclables” (excluding metals $$). And we are actually losing ground.

Instead, we have green washing grifts, like this one, which may have once upon a time, actually tried to do something, but later realized they couldn’t continue their effort without a corporate partnership. And somehow, rather than just failing and creating the vacuum, they linger, for a decade, clean up nothing, save for the staged Instagram vids that are WAAAAY more impressive than the actual footage of failure. Those vids are necessary to fund the important research, of course.
