Your thinking is linear and deterministic, but elections and society structures are not. Voting for X over Y period is not a guarantee of X. It's a chance at X, assuming an entire host of other people vote with you and a number of other factors fall into place, but not a guarantee. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) In other words: I am too weird to ever be satisfied with the results of an election. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NovaPrime@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Be the change you want to see friend.

Really though, we just gotta last another 15 years or so and then the climate change feedback cycle will take care of everything permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago I think learning how to survive the collapse is a better use of my time at this point. permalink fedilink source parent
