16. Not a problem. I see Republican electoral fraud as a danger as big as climate change

While that may seem out of proportion, consider that there will be NO effort to improve the fight against climate change as long as these cretins are in power. The longer they are there, the longer there will be no action on our (as in USA) part. If we don't do something, no one else will. Angela Merkel can't do this by herself. She is a role model, not the head of state of a superpower. Therefore, efforts to combat climate change on a national level ARE directly connected to the issue of Republican voter fraud, which, then, by extension, IS an issue of life or death.

One of the reasons I find it so easy to stay away from the Primaries board is that my favorite, Jay Inslee, dropped out long ago. The second two big environmentalists (Al Gore and Howard Dean) aren't even running. Where half the posters there seem obsessed with posting every time their beloved candidate farts into the wind, and praising how sweet it smells, the real issues of electoral fraud and its direct consequences get drowned out by cries of joy at how much will be confiscated from "rich" people, as if that will magically make the polar ice stop melting tomorrow.

So if you don't mind some two part harmony while howling into the wind, I hope you don't mind if I join you for a few verses.
