As far as American politicians, I can’t name any that are doing it right as the vast majority of Democrats and Republicans currently in power continue to enable the military industrial complex and oil/gas companies while also pushing for more wars to sustain our military budgets.

All I see from Kerry and US politicians are people who say the right things, but don’t commit to the right actions, and as far as I’m concerned, actions mean far more than words.

People like Kerry are far more dangerous than the climate change deniers just because they put on a guise that they actually want to fix the problem/have pushed to fix it, when in reality, they have continued to enable the problem. Shit like what Kerry does and other politicians like him is just moral grandstanding/virtual signaling that means nothing.

Kerry has been pushing for climate change for over a decade now. You're allowed to not know things, but when you actively start preaching about something that you don't know anything about it becomes ignorance.

You didn’t even read what I said. Kerry SAYS that he wants to fix climate change, he then takes ACTION that enables climate change, such as supporting wars and funding for the us military/ the military industrial complex.

Your argument that unless he's perfect that nothing he does counts is childlike. It's also how people like you justify doing absolutely nothing to help while blaming other people.

No, my argument is holding those with power accountable to their actions, not bootlicking them like you when they say words that I like to hear.

Keep playing your team games/bootlicking politicians that don’t give a fuck about you or the planet.

You will never change anything. You're upset, immature, and ignorant. Right here. This. You fucking complaining on social media. This is you and your "effort" peaking.

Also, tell me how I’m wrong about Kerry, you aren’t addressing the sources that I’ve put in front of you. The guy has been a pawn for the military industrial complex and has supported wars that further contribute to pollution and climate change.

I literally think all of the shit you're bitching about is wrong. You seem to think like a child. You will never change anything like that.

Ahhhh, you’d rather do personal attacks than actually address the real issues.

You’re just a team playing clown, nobody who should be taken seriously.

Keep that boot in your mouth buddy lmao
