liberals who refuse to even CONSIDER putting up an actually pro-climate candidate

I got a push poll from my Congresswoman, Liz Fletcher (D), accusing her biggest primary race rival of being a far-left extremist who would destroy the Houston economy with his climate alarmism. The poll also accused him of sponsoring Hamas terrorism and being weak on women’s rights because he wouldn’t negotiate on an abortion bill.

Still a little squishy on Pervez Agwan, but Fletcher’s poll did not help her case.

Political polls be like:

Do you support: (A) TERRORIST DEATH AND VIOLENCE (B) RAINBOWS AND SUNSHINE

Published results: 99% of people support ME!

Its more:

How would you feel if you knew that Candidate A loves kittens and personally donated $50000 to the SPAC, has six shelter kittens of her own, and has advanced legislation to fund a study that will guarantee all cats receive adequate housing, food, and medical care without raising taxes or increasing the national debt?

How would you feel if you knew that Candidate B once kicked a stray cat over a fence, took money from an organization that refers to cats as “feral” and “unloveable”, hates Garfield, and won’t support the CATS Acts?

Okay, thank you for your response.

Now, having heard those messages, would you feel more inclined to support Candidates A, C, b, or D?

Houston had not only like 100+ days of 100 degree weather, but we were also entering emergency water management conservation AND fire danger all over texas. It also doesn’t help that Houston has a chemical plant explosion every other month. The idea that the economy and climate are separate it’s so unhinged. Who is her opponent?

I see you’re complaining about climate change again.

Have you personally spent your entire life recycling everything you can, composting all organic materials you touch, eliminating all red meat intake, planting multiple trees per year, growing your own vegetable and fruit garden in the backyard of your house which you own, avoiding purchasing any plastics despite everything being packaged as such, not buying anything anything beyond your extreme basic necessities, never flying in an airplane for any reason, preferring to keep anything broken and virtually unusable instead of replacing it since repairing it is either unavailable or too expensive, and only riding ebikes or only driving Teslas to save the environment?

No? Then you’re the real problem and you can’t complain.

growing your own vegetable and fruit garden in the backyard of your house which you own,

What’s funny is I started doing that years ago less for the reduced carbon footprint of growing stuff that actually thrives in my local climate compared to buying produce from a grocer and more as a zen-finding exercise so [redacted]

Yeah, true that these things are good to do, but expecting all or even most of these things from working class or poor people is unrealistic at this point.

And realistically they would be better able to do these things and the environment would be better if the social economy was organized differently, which once again leads us to criticizing Capitalism as the principle issue instead of blaming individuals surviving and living within their material conditions, so I think people who blame individuals but are unwilling to support any shift in economy or politics are more to blame than people just trying to get by and doing what they can with what they are given.

Even if they did all that, they’d wipe out all that carbon-savings by having a single kid in the US.

ever wished there were a way to score free meat, do good for oppressed people, eliminate animal cruelty AND save the environment at the same time?

don’t look up “how many cops are there” and do not harvest the carbon negative pork!
