@joethomas9574 First of all, I don't speak on anyone else's behalf, nor as a member of any political party.
IMO, AOC is young, energetic, idealistic, outspoken, did I mention young?
I think she is absolutely correct about the need to act urgently and aggressively to mitigate climate change, for all the right reasons. That requires significant changes in human behavior to minimize dependencies upon fossil fuels, including transportation and plastics.
That scares the wits out of conservatives, who are primarily climate deniers, oil workers, and lobbyists. So, there's monumental opposition for all the wrong reasons.
I think mankind has done more than enough mindless destruction of natural resources, primarily stolen resources, solely for greed. Enough is enough. Our house is already on fire and many 'patriots' won't even piss on it.
"AMERICA is long gone!!!" Only because of people who believe in such pathetic BS! Get an education in environmental science. Be more mindful about wasting gas on power toys and travel. If everyone does 1 thing to help the environment, then at least the mind is considering the possibilities to live more responsibly.

@ricn5494 WTF are you talking about, now? I'm scared of nothing, never lock my doors and don't even own a gun. My nearest neighbor is 100 yards away, yet we rarely see each other.
I own a 4 bedroom 2 bath home on 5 acres of land, in the foothills, near None-of-Your-Damn-Business, USA.
I drink Kahlua with my morning coffee, Tequila with my OJ, and wine with my evening meals.
I'm happily retired, and standing upon the solid grounds of scientific facts. I'm a maker of IoT devices, an inventor of sustainable products, a laser systems engineer and laserist just for fun.
What people like me? Hermits aren't herd animals,nor do we run with any packs, mobs, nor cliques You don't know anything about me, nor of my lifestyle.
I do and say whatever TF I like, whenever I like.
Don't feel sorry for me, you arrogant jerk. I have been places and experienced things you could never dream of. Now, I answer to no one nor subject myself to society's
expectations and judgments.
Now, WTF is your problem?

@ricn5494 No. I still don't get your point.
First of all, I never developed any vaccine. You're simply parroting my own words about tRump never putting on a lab coat, while taking credit for the vaccines being developed. WTF?
There you go again, talking about MY people. WTF are you talking about? I don't have any people and am an Independent thinker, not a Dem. But, I would never EVER vote for any of the current GQP nut jobs.
Yes, now I tell people to get vaccinated, because that's the only way out of this pandemic and the only way to return to normal life. What's your problem with that?
Now, you're attacking Dems with right wing BS rhetoric. The only 'fallout' is being caused by tRumptards and evangelical anti-vaxxers, because they are the most vulnerable and contagious. If they would stop being so scared and stubborn, no one would still be dying. They are the ones overwhelming hospitals. They are the ones dying. They are the ones testifying that they regret not getting vaccinated.
Dems are being cautious, following the CDC guidelines, wearing masks. getting vaccinated, and not getting seriously ill.
How TF can you make such an ignorant partisan accusation against the half of US society who are doing everything right, while YOUR people are acting like idiots?
Go away, tRumptard. I don't talk to traitors.

@samj7681 I don't believe in prophets, biblical or otherwise. The future is not yet written, but scientific data can form trend lines, projecting into the near future, making events like climate change inevitable, unless mankind becomes more mindful of his affects upon nature. Your invisible god has nothing to do with it.
IMO, time is the only omnipotent god, passively effecting every life form, from birth to death and every moment in between. It determines our goals, when to marry, when to procreate, and when to pass every accomplishment on to the next generation. Ignoring the 'passage of time' will only result in failure. It's even mentioned in your bible. "There's a time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to reap and a time to sow...."
The only universal law is the simultaneous forces of opposition and attraction, waxing and waning between Yin and Yang. Those opposites exist in everything from the smallest atomic particles to the gravitational forces of the universe's heavenly bodies. Positive vs negative, up vs down, left vs right, forward vs backward, good vs bad, right vs wrong, yes vs no, black vs white, and so on.
"Everyone is somewhere." But, the most important thing is to be in the right place at the right time. Plan for the future, but live in the present. :-)

@stassimarlowe9108 "He's making a list, checking it twice. Gonna find out whose naughty or nice. Santa Claus is coming to town.
He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows when you've been bad or good. So, you'd better be good for goodness sake."
You are very focused upon "the enemy". Without your god, my enemies simply cease to exist, especially those here on planet Earth.
"God spoke to the prophets in the bible who wrote those stories."
How do you know that Satan wasn't speaking to those self professed prophets? How do you know that they didn't write those stories in order to control and subjugate weaker minded sheeple?
"You do understand that angel's used to walk this earth?" Did those angels have wings or not? Do birds fly in the air or walk on the ground?
"After all, we are made in the image of God." Isn't that just a little too convenient for mankind? What color is your god?
"Jesus did die on the cross of calvary for all world's sins." Thousands of Christians and Jews died upon Roman crosses. But, no one still worships them 2 thousand years later. Oh, that's right, none of their bodies were removed by grave robbers nor did they ascend into heaven, according to the story. That's the sole basis of your faith. Fairy tales, fortune tellers, and ego.
I'm so much more happy not living my life second guessing the will of an invisible entity, always watching my every move, and waiting to be judged. Watching for imaginary cryptic signs in clouds.
You can live in fear of your demon enemies and wait for some nonexistent heavenly reward in your afterlife beyond the grave, if you wish. But, I'm going to continue to appreciate every moment of life, here and now. Because that's all I'll ever have, just like every other life form on Earth. They're not worried about your demons any more than I.

@JM-it2zo You like the deep waters? Dive into this, Friend.
God is immortal. God is omnipotent. God is beyond the alpha and the omega, existing before and after everything.
God decides when everything occurs in all lives from birth to death and everything in between.
God determines when a baby is born, laughs, cries, eats, drinks, defecates, walks, talks, goes to school, reaches puberty, mates, propagates, and dies.
Pay attention to God's signs to ensure success. Ignoring God's signs will only ensure failure.
The name of my God is 'Father Time'. -TheHermit 1:1
The struggle between the opposing forces of Yin and Yang is the only universal law, from atomic particles to planetary orbits, everything ebbs and flows, like a tug of war between opposite extremes or waves along the shore. Extreme positions require extreme force and unsustainable energy. But, peace, calm, and truth can be found in the depths of the mainstream. -TheHermit 1:2

@doc.christopherthompson324 No. TheHermit is an atheist, who doesn't believe in heaven, hell, nor in any immortal soul with an afterlife nor reincarnation. Demons and demigods only exist within the insane minds of brainwashed sheeple of mankind's religions, which only exist to control the masses.
IMO, we only get one shot at life. Each one is unique and precious. So, live it to the fullest, with honor and decency. There's no need to fear death. It is merely the end of life's natural cycle. But, I don't tempt it with foolish, irresponsible behavior.
My life is only relevant to myself. The continuance of all life on Earth is far more significant. Mankind has been the Earth's cancer. Now, that scientists understand that fact, it is time to evolve into being the cure. Otherwise, our existence has no meaning.
If you take issue with my beliefs, please address me directly, instead of trying to ridicule me to others, like a coward.

@littlemissbossy1000 Just a left handed US citizen, with common sense and decent moral convictions. I put my faith in provable science, not fairy tales. I support our POTUS, human rights, racial equality, and mitigating man made climate change to preserve the only known life forms in the Universe. I support the US Constitution and the vision of our Founding Fathers. I hate guns and ignorant people who need them to impose their values upon others.
I don't call that extreme in any way.
I call the GQP conspiracies, insurrectionists, and naive tRumptard traitors extreme.
But, the fact is, you don't know me, can't categorize me, nor label me.
I'm an independent thinker, inventor, and a solitary hermit because of crazy ass people like you. Now that I'm comfortably retired, I don't need to put up with any BS from anyone and don't give a damn about what others think of me.
If you've got any problems with me, then FO and leave me alone.

@edwhite7078 No one controls me, but myself. I freely choose to believe in provable scientific facts, regardless of where the facts lead.
Scientists have to be objective, without personal agendas. They certainly aren't motivated to control people, but only to solve problems. Without them, we would still be living in caves, which I don't, BTW. Nor am I homeless. FYI, not that it's any of your business, I own a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home on 5 acres of foothill property. I'm comfortably retired and 100% independent of society's influence. But, I like to keep an eye on it and express my POV.
What's your excuse?

@Koi G I'm not reviewing 100 comments to find your reference, but the only fearmongers I know are the right wingers, who only know how to spew doom and gloom about Biden's agenda, especially tRumptards. His entire con was nothing more than "radical left wing Democrats, who only want to take away your freedom and destroy our nation."
In fact, that was precisely tRump's primary objective, which was proven last Jan 6th.
"I'm the only one who can save our nation." smh
On the other hand, President Biden passed the ARP stimulus bill, which distributed vaccines to stop the pandemic (which tRumptards refuse to take), save families from being evicted into the streets, save small businesses from bankruptcies , etc, etc, etc. Biden is trying to lift up the downtrodden victims of COVID, but Republicants only want to leave poor folks struggling, while giving away tax breaks to the filthy rich.
You only need to pay attention to the politicians own words and ignore the pundits, who only seek ratings with grossly exaggerated rhetoric. Don't believe YT strangers. Do your own research.

@noahsark1962 Common sense tells me that taking safe(r), simple & easy appropriate measures to protect myself and those around me is about as basic critical thinking as one can have.
Considering the success rate, the lack of side affects, and number of unvaccinated who are still being hospitalized and dying, it is illogical and insane to continue resisting a couple of jabs.
That doesn't even factor in the consequences of more lock downs, online schooling, no child care, parents stuck at home, bills piling up, unpaid mortgages & rents, etc, etc, etc...
F**k any individual who puts our nation in economic jeopardy, just for the sake of their own selfish stubbornness
Why even bring illegal immigrants and politics into this discussion? Can't you focus upon a single subject, without creating distractions and resorting to whataboutisms?
