  • I can say for me they do. Whether it actually damages precious public things or not is irrelevant. The conversation isn’t “oh man, what can I do to stop climate change and stop big oil interests” it’s, "what a bunch of shits and now I want to burn tires to show I don’t support their cause.

    They need to be public and not be assholes about it. I want to have more renewable energy options and less carbon products but blocking traffic and desecrating Stonehenge doesn’t give me any actionable things. Except to adamantly disavow their movement.

    They think it starts conversation, but it doesn’t. Not the way they want. It’s not meaningful. And she said they wouldn’t actually do it if there was the possibility of damaging the art? Cletus isn’t going to take that into consideration. He’s going to say “fuck that idea I had about solar because the solar folks are damaging museum things!”

    It’s really disappointing because I get and support the cause, but I truly believe they’re damaging any support with their short-sighted antics.

    They need a better leader














  • As a Coloradan, this is fantastic. Colorado Springs has traditionally been a conservative bastion of hate. Even though all the strong conservative leaders have been gay or hire “luggage boys”? It’s amazing to me to see that the dependable red is now realizing that the Republicans are too stupid and the Democrats are too naive to actually get dependable votes. We’ve never been a swing state, but we passed a law saying all our votes go with the majority. That does have an effect in local elections. We are working things out and it’s awesome to see how weirdos like Boebert are trying to work the system.
