What does voting for Capitalism have to do with helping the environment? They are 100% orthogonal to each other.
I didn't even mention capitalism? Are you responding to the wrong person? My argument is that people ought to vote for the more environmental option.
The fact that you don't even realize that capitalism is the problem and then you think voting for one of the two capitalist parties will fix anything, shows you don't care about the problem enough to think deeply about it at all.
Even if I agreed with you, voting is still important. We need to do what we can in the current situation even if you don't think it is the full solution.
What type of action do you propose instead?
Targeted action against the c-suite of energy companies and board members.
Out of curiosity, what does that actually mean (political, personal, etc)? What kind of actions have you done in this category?
I agree that some forms of actions against companies could be valuable, but as a way to change public opinion.
These actions shouldn't be discussed on public forums as they are the only actions that can threaten the status quo in anyway and thus are highly discouraged.
