@2wheela@GasBuddyGuy@7eleven Oil is drastically worse for the climate and still worse for the environment, actually. Oil spills and all that.
To summarize:
You don't know the Keystone pipeline already exists
You think motors and hydraulics aren't "machines"
You said $5/gal by Christmas
@NekNamirrem I received a lot more than symbolism, lately, tbh, I think liberalism has had a good couple years
You have to use the system to get things done. You won't be able to affect change on the outside
@NekNamirrem@BidenTracking@WadeTurnbull Right wing media did that. Not centrists or liberals. I never believed what they said about defund
We were just trying to warn you about how easily your words would be twisted
@NekNamirrem@BidenTracking@WadeTurnbull Your characterization of that is vastly overstated, so yeah, I don't agree
Even if it was true though, you don't help yourself by being unable to talk to normies and working class folks. You're too in your bubble
@NekNamirrem@BidenTracking@WadeTurnbull Actually it was also a lot of lefty activists (not the people themselves) ratcheting up the rhetoric and hurting the very people who are victimized by police brutality
Like I said, terrible at tactics.
@NekNamirrem@BidenTracking@WadeTurnbull "Defund the police" - you don't remember that? Lol
If you're saying specific high profile candidates didn't say it then sure, mostly. I do recall AOC defending it on Instagram though.
@NekNamirrem@BidenTracking@WadeTurnbull Their messaging makes it impossible to win general elections
You can't say "abolish the police" and hope to win anything
So yeah. I'm glad we can put that stupidity to bed early
