I wish Trump a speedy cremation.

Instead he complained to the moderator and the crowd and said a few meek comebacks. — darthbarracuda
Trump is the guy whose example and vocal support encouraged people to not wear masks, and ridiculed others (e.g. Biden) for wearing one.I don't want anyone to suffer or die.
Minimizing that is why I want Trump and those like him out of office.
If Trump getting sick gets him out of office, that's great. Otherwise, it's pointless suffering for no good. — Pfhorrest
Wishing Trump well or denouncing those hoping he dies/suffers implies that he exists in some sort of moral vacuum; that he has had no actual impact on people's lives in the last 4 years, not to mention his entire lifetime. — Maw
but once they're in office they'd better very quickly start passing New Deal-level reforms, or we're essentially doomed. — Xtrix
Doomed it is, then. — StreetlightX
Expressing sympathy for Trump and denouncing those who don't is just vacuous moral signaling; an attempt to display moral high ground when it in fact signals the opposite.
But even passing Green New Deal legislation is something — Xtrix
The same GND of which Biden explicitly said "is not his plan" and which he "does not support" just 3 days ago? — StreetlightX
In countless ways, but climate change being the major one. — Xtrix
The US puts out less than 20% of total human generated CO2, so we aren't in control of that. Nobody is. — frank
The US is the most influential nation on the planet and the fact is Trump pulling out of the Paris Accord and leaving a vacuum of leadership on climate action has led to other countries following suit. Even if they won't outright admit it, they see the US's inaction as an excuse to not do anything themselves as seen in last year's COP25. — Mr Bee
at least he would be better on the world stage than the guy who thinks we should rake the forests to stop forest fires. — Mr Bee
The US is influential by virtue if its military, it's economy, and it's culture.The US has no special influence over CO2 production. — frank
Meanwhile China has committed to becoming CO2 neutral by 2060. However repelled we may be by dictatorship, we have to admit that in the face of climate change, it works better. — frank
The reason we should drop talk of "doom" is that it isn't based on science. When that's the primary message coming from climate change acceptors, it undermines their cause. The climate is changing. We will change with it. — frank
Streetlight, what is it exactly that you want in terms of government-type? You're not a liberal, but you say you're not a fascist either. Do you support democracy? Do you just want very considerable restrictions on free speech? — BitconnectCarlos
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
