Seem like not endorsing the government or the blue party will get you banned for trolling at climate@slrpnk.net

    voting a 3rd party or not voting will not pressure the candidates to do anything for the climate now.

    Wrong, by losing votes the red and blue party are forced to change their policies to get votes back otherwise they lose elections. On the contrary if they don’t lose any support they are not really forced or motivated to do any change.

    Also, if the US doesn’t elect the democrat candidate now, trump will be elected and there will be no way of doing anything for the climate with the US any more, likely forever.

      And the red or blue party still have a majority even though some votes go to third parties. I don’t see how that make them lose elections?
