But for how important this election will be for Planet Earth and the humans who live on it, the issue itself isn’t getting much airtime. Earlier this month, The Guardian examined the campaign websites of Democratic and Republican Senate candidates in eight battleground states. Of all the candidates surveyed, only two explicitly mentioned climate change.
This retreat hasn’t happened by accident. Over the last two years, some of the Democratic Party’s most influential strategists, donors, and think tanks have been explicitly telling candidates to shut up about climate change and focus on the economy instead—as if those were two separate issues.
It’s a strategy known as climate hushing. And with the midterms fast-approaching, it’s worth asking: Who convinced Democrats that ignoring climate change was a winning strategy? Does the evidence actually support that argument? And what is that silence costing the rest of us?
yes we need the public educated together like some kind of standard put on display for the general populations to agree and use as a metric that helps one be productive in society and make informed choices based on past knowledge handed down by past generations. But I’m saying we need organized government to push forward long term goals while you and I fuck and, make a home and prepare for death all while the gears keep turning so we can keep living. But human nature only allows for small world understanding VIA our biology only allows us to feel for 100-150 . Empathy stops and mass casualty events just feel like numbers. We can organize crowds or mobs all we want but its just a short term splurge.
