If Mort Divine ruled the world

Good for him, he's absolutely right in that. (I read the article didn't watch the video)

Libs are just killing themselves the more they give into identity politics. That is why I hope they continue down that road, because fuck them.

 

[no country for old wainds]

do you identify as a hamburger, a boy, both, or neither?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Both. I chose the name because I identified with it.

Maybe the next president can help. Wait...

 

[The Ozzman]

I bet he flip flops on that

 

[CiG]

So Trump is anti-vaccines, Bernie said climate change was the cause of terrorism and Clinton didn't know that an email marked (c) meant classified?

Man, Americas fuckin' up.

 

[-CC-]

That's why I'm voting Camacho 2020.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I bet he flip flops on that

His track record of flip-flopping makes that a definitely possibility but the fact that he spread that shit in the first place and likely believed it at the time shows that he is pretty uninformed in a lot of areas.

 

[CiG]

It's safe to assume he's uninformed.

Bernie said climate change was the cause of terrorism

I don't want to try and defend the logic of this claim, but has anyone here ever actually read the studies/arguments correlating climate change and terrorism? It's way more complicated than "A causes B," but I don't think that's any reason to reject the connections outright.

 

[CiG]

The connections are irrelevant because you don't defeat ISIS or strengthen national security by fighting climate change, a process that will take hundreds of years to do.

He said we have to tackle climate change in response to the Paris attacks in 2015, that's an utterly redundant and retarded response to something like that. I understand the connections.

The Middle East didn't become agriculturally destitute because of western coal, and Wahhabism or Baathist tyranny wasn't seized on as a solution because of CO2 emissions.

This was clearly a poorly formed argument on Bernie's part, but why can't we fight both?

 

[CiG]

Because one is an immediate danger and one isn't. That's why it was a stupid thing to say to begin with in my opinion, even if you agree that there is something we can do to stop man-made climate change, it's solved over such a long period that to even bring it up after a terrorist attack is just pathetic and opportunist as fuck.

A lot of political leaders suggest the turmoil in Syria and Libya is exacerbated by climate change (droughts), but obviously Bernie still mispoke.

But let's be honest, our and other western nations policy of giving aid to these nations have indirectly caused a dramatic increase in population that has found itself lost in a world without adequate basic resources (food and water) as well as without proper employment. But nobody wanna talk about dat.

Real talk are you guys climate change deniers or no
