We did. Florida decided Bush would be a better president than Gore. Also, ironically, several states had just enough environmentally conscience voters to go Nader over Gore to cost Gore the EC votes in those states.
The 2000 US Presidential election was probably the last chance we had to stop this freight train and we pissed it away with butterfly-ballot shenanigans, a SCOTUS case, and just enough people who voted Nader because they couldn’t hold their nose and vote Gore (though that’s more a failing of our first-past-the-post system as opposed to some sort of ranked-choice voting).
You’re not even that clever of a troll. Seriously, how do you hope to troll anyone with the retort abilities of a 2nd grader that was held back ten years.
This is a human extinction issue. Everyone is involved and at stake. The rapid warming of earth and everything bad that comes with that is caused by human interactions in the environment. We’ve known about that for years and have done little to prevent it.
Whichever political party has a plan to help address it should be leading or most of us are going to die and have our lives impacted to the point of life being unrecognizable much sooner than expected. Full stop.
So far, only the Democratic and progressive parties in America seems to be willing to try and address this somehow. The other political parties have been on record saying/pretending that what’s happening in front of all of our eyes, isn’t real.
So that’s the best option we’ve got. Even if it’s not perfect.
But don’t pretend that it doesn’t matter who people elect. It shouldn’t, all parties should be working together to address global climate change. But that’s not the reality we live in unfortunately.

Not sure if trolling or not.
This isn’t a political issue. It never was.

Cool. That helps, appreciate you clarifying you’re just a troll. 😉
