I've often wondered if people who live in Opposite World realize that reality is exactly the opposite of their perception, or are you as delusional as you seem to be?
Exactly. Because I have no substance, no specifics and only insults. I'm insulting. That said, I'm done arguing about it. As my son pointed out- it doesn't really affect us. Our lives will continue as before. I'm concerned for the rest of the country. I mean, I'd like to see my healthcare costs go down, but that wasn't going to happen no matter who was elected.
What else is there to do except speak up? My biggest political issue is the mitigation of climate change. The science is established, the risks are known. Reality has an interesting quality: its the only thing that remains when you stop believing in it.
So now, I look at my options. I can sit on my hands and let the conservative wave continue unchecked, or I can stand up and attempt to do something about it.
When you are talking about a problem that truly grows exponentially, there is no time like the present for taking action. And climate change does exhibit exponential properties due to feedback loops, and most importantly because it is a symptom of our exponentially-growing society.
Action today is worth much more than the same action 4 years from now, so no, I will not sit idly and remain quiet.
At least this way the adversary’s obvious. This president elect means to complete the Keystone XL pipeline, the other potential president elect spearheaded it when State was the lead agency in hatching that sulfurous scheme. This one doesn’t believe in climate science, the other one didn’t care. This one’s energy policy’s is openly what the other one’s was on the down low. You couldn’t get a better opponent around climate from Central Casting. Cry havoc!
And so, four or more, years of additional incessant whining by the left begins.

Precisely my point, no substance, no specifics, just insults.

start pushing for Elizabeth Warren in 2020 now.
If it's something you believe in, then don't " sit idly and remain quiet"
Entirely one's prerogative.
about the same pitch and volume as the whinging from the right.
much of a muchness.
Roaming's comment is "much of muchness", you are correct.
