He really does look like a year old dish sponge after chili night.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

While the environment is very important, I think this is the least important reason Trump should not be president.
Yeah, we can just get a different planet. I'm sure Venus will be ready by the time I'm about to retire.
I might have left it in the microwave too long.
It's actually probably the most important reason. It's arguably the biggest existential threat we've ever faced. It seems we might not be stupid enough to nuke ourselves into oblivion, but our willingness to slowly march to the destruction of our way of life and the suffering of billions of people might be what actually does us in.
Yep, and climate change is also a stressor that makes large scale war more and more likely.
I always tell my conservative friends "You think immigration is a problem now? Just sit back and do nothing about climate change and watch it actually get bad."
Yeah, preserving earth is pretty important for not dying and all, but non of that is going to happen if this guy builds a dictatorship that favors fossil fuel oligarchs.
People are motivated by a variety of issues. I'm happy to make sure that people who care about this one know how the two candidates' likely policies differ.
Good point.
That’s the headline du jour?
Son, if trump wins, it’s going to be so much worse than critically excessive carbon emissions. Sure, yes, that’s bad but if that’s your take-away from the concept, you’re really not grokking the horror.
It's one of many reasons to not vote for him. But I know and talk climate in a way that I can't always do in detail on other issues.
How much co2 does the traitor filth generate through purchasing orange spray paint?
