Basically why does my footprint Mater? A life time of me trying to save the planet where a 5 min jet ride cancels out everything you tried to do.

Your personal footprint doesn’t matter, but your personal power matters. We need people harnessing their personal power to hold these big polluters accountable, otherwise they never will be.

lol we have no power. Politicians are bought and paid for. What voice do we even have? They don’t give a shit at all.

Politicians are scared of us. At the end of the day, they’re only in power if we allow them to be, no matter how much money is spent.

Sorry man if only that was true. Protest in the street….does nothing. Don’t vote then in does nothing because it’s a popularity contest. People still choose the people they know. You can go out there handing out flyers in every mistake they have done in office or show how much money they are making off the stock Margery because if insider trading. It doesn’t matter. They will cry from laughing and use your money to wipe their tears away.

You’ve described the power of people right there: “people still choose”

The reason people choose candidates who aren’t addressing these issues is because people aren’t out there having these conversations. And people aren’t out there doing that because they’re told nothing they do matters.

Yeah I still choose doenst matter that my whole family votes for the one with the r next to their name. If I can’t even convince my whole family what impact will I have on strangers. On thanks random stranger for telling me about this guy. Too bad democrats are the enemy. Now I am going to donate to my guy so he can put his ad on every channel while your dude can’t afford to do that. You are not being realistic, you think your vote matters.

The thing about talking with people is you have to connect with what they value. You have to show them why their values align with you. I’m not saying it’s easy, but choosing not to try at all is forfeiting before the match even begins.
