      Oh boy not the false equivalence again. If you don’t give a shit yourself then don’t vote.

      It makes a difference who gets the power, and your main influence is your power to vote.

        I always do vote for the party with most proactive views on climate change.

        I just feel really jaded that they are going to make much of a difference, short term capitalistic gains seem more important to all

        Edit - I’m also beginning to feel that voting isn’t my most powerful move. Disruptive protests are looking better and better.

          It may not be the most powerful for all, but for most it is.

          Just don’t go along with something like Just Stop Oil, that’s not constructive or helpful in any way, and it’s off-putting for the vast majority tiring people of the issue, rather than waking their interest.

      Yes, some that really give a shit might not be a part of a major party in whatever country you live in, but even among established parties there are people who are more inclined to do something about the climate catastrophe than others.
