71.0% of voters in LA county voted for Biden, and 26.9% voted for Trump in 2020.
Under Biden, oil production hit a new record high, beating even Trump's record.
So instead of voting Green to reverse anthropogenic climate change, the vast majority instead voted for parties that accelerate it.

Thanks. I'd only been looking at the "x Posts" and "x Comments" 3 lines above that.

I'm not sure Canadians would want the 6 million Californians who voted for Trump (more than 38% of the voters in the state); or the 3.5 million New Yorkers who voted for Trump (42.7%). Maybe leave the mostly rural areas of the Dem states for Trumpistan?
Also the included states have a larger population than Canada, so it would be Canada joining the Dem states - which I can't see any sane 1st-world country doing.
Letting the Trump states become a country, and the Dem states (sans rural areas) become a different country, seems like it would make both groups vastly happier; tho it would require allowing at least a few years for people to swap states.
Maybe if enough people stop tipping, workers will go work at places where they're paid enough so they don't need tips to survive? Horrific for the poor until tips-to-survive ends tho.
Voting against parties that make laws propping up an economic system that rewards psychopathy and punishes ethical behavior, would be better.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/08/16/biden-oil-drilling-production/ :
As he campaigned for president in 2020, Joe Biden made a bold promise at a New Hampshire town hall, adding repetition for emphasis: “No more drilling on federal lands. Period. Period. Period. Period.” […] The Biden administration has now outpaced the Trump administration in approving permits for drilling on public lands, and the United States is producing more oil than any country ever has.
Why is it called "drink driving" and not "drunk driving"?
"Drink driving" sounds like something a very drunk person would say.
Biggest sources:
10-40 Mt released into environment/year, and increasing.

Wouldn't an honest title state that a certain flu variant now seems extinct? Why spread a title that makes it seem like the vaccines are unsafe?
Please downvote distortions like this.
"Enslave" is a bit harsh, considering there are about 38-50 million people who are currently slaves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_21st_century
We're choosing to allow a lot of the things these companies are doing to us; but we could choose to walk away at the cost of some shiny things.
Did the Staten-Generaal supervise the Heeren XVII, was it the other way round, were they usually the same people, or did it not work like that?
It's not only Republicans voting to have their faces eaten, per the definition of this community: https://lemmy.world/post/21640658
Democrats constantly vote to make the biosphere unlivable as shown by how their actions are accelerating anthropogenic climate: like the US producing more oil under Biden than under Trump. Cue surprised Pikachu when their houses burn down due to record heat, record wind storms, record fires which climate scientists have been warning about for decades now.
You can vote for the omnicidal Democrats who supply weapons to genocidal governments, or vote for the omnicidal Republicans who are worse than the Democrats, or you can vote to reverse climate change. In 2020 Biden got 81 million votes, Trump 74 million. 84 million didn't vote - if they voted Green to reverse anthropogenic climate change, they could've gotten a non-omnicidal president, won the house, and a third of the senate.
