bernie is a socialist. not many people would agree with his green new deal policies especially as an economy so strongly dependent on fossil fuel cannot readily transition in such short amount of time as he would like, or as any of us would like. Idk really know much about the energy debate side of things but i just think we should be cautious and more cynical about these so-called "energy friendly" initiatives and companies. Like how friendly are they to birds that get whipped down in the hundreds by the windmills every year? How friendly are these massive green energy infrastructure to protecting bushland and forest? How much of its environmental caps and goals do they actually reach with the government and private funding, and do they actually use that money properly or does it go to someone's pocket, and disguise some sort of political maneouvre? How viable is it economically? Because no one is going to buy electric car if they ain't got money for it.

Hydrogen as a fuel source is much cleaner for the environment, and is pretty much equivalent if not better (especially with funding towards it in the coming years) than electric (battery) and other current options. There is a projected abatement of 509,000 tonnes annually of carbon emissions if we switched from diesel to hydrogen (for nsw buses) - as an example. It is the way forward whether we like it or not

hmm good cynical point there would defo be a level of corruption involving energy friendly stuff. as much as he'd like though, i think that it would be good in terms of actually sparking change in what seems to be a pretty apathetic world

Its going to be interesting to see how this one plays out due to her influence. But of course it will be even more interesting to see what it means if there was no influence in the end.

Does her endorsements actually have that much weight? I swear Hillary had even more celebrity endorsements than Kamala back in 2016. She still lost.

not really bro. rfk jr's endorsement is probably more valuable, and if anything, the deep state will have a say in the election more than anyone else.

 

[igor9]

i mean most she will get outta it is dumbass teens voting for her without any knowledge abt anything politics, which is already maybe happening i think from the looks of it.

Voting for anybody else would have produced worse results for Trump voters without even a shadow of a doubt.

The moderator bias was infuriating. The context for Trump's cat statement was thiswhich happened a week before the electiondebate https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...se-eating-trump-claims-revealed-b2612904.html

some of the things he says are rude.

This is a right-wing outlet perspective on the debate to contrast the more mainstream left-wing ones out there:

[igor9]

all the media outlets are bought out don't trust them, at least it aint that bad in australia, and the elections are fairly moderate.

Shame on anyone who picked donald trump

Please look at what the average democrat libtard looks like before commenting again. Hint: it's peculiar. You definitely are gay.

 

[igor9]

most are just feminists who just cling on to the abortion thing because they cbf using protection and don't want a million babies to pop outta them every time they do the deed. sums up democrats tbh.

 

[coolcat6778]

Shame on anyone who picked Kamala. If you picked her, I think I know your subjects.

 

[igor9]

they're bound to do bachelor of gender studies like fr that's what they gonna do if they picked kamala.

This is why the voting age is 18.
