They’ll lose any simple majority votes in full attendance. They’ve only shut down supermajority votes, like the SAVE Act on Friday.

I agree the planet is fucked, and humanity’s demise is a question of when and how, and certainly not if. I don’t see a vote, a violent revolution, or quiet subservience changing that.

And now you're just as hopeless as I am. All this talk of politics is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Nah. I’m aware of ways we can slow the sinking and make for less suffering along the way. You can worry about deck chairs. Lol

Again: The tools we have to slow the sinking and limit suffering have been failing me my entire life, and that failure is accelerating.

You're wasting your time trying to bail with a dixie cup.
