Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

“We need to eat” rhymes poorly with climate wrecking animal farming, which not only speeds up harvest devastating warming and flooding – it also consumes a lot of food and uses enormous amounts of farmable land.
Poor people are not in any way immune to the apocalypse and will have to change their lifestyles one way or the other.
You’re championing dying with a belly full of cheeseburgers over tofu and a shot at long term survival. It’s not progressive.
I'm championing shitting down the war machines. don't put words in my mouth
Not to be a dick, but progressive or not doesn't matter, what matters us effective.
We need two solutions. Short and long term
Short term survival and the long term bounty.
Nothing dickish about making your point, that’s what we’re here for.
I agree that we need effective measures, in terms of combatting climate change there are few things that are more efficient than eliminating animal agriculture. For there to even be a long term, at all, drastic measures are needed in the short term.
But at this point, it feels like LARPing to bother thinking about, climate change. Not a lot of room for the issue in the flooded zone.
I doubt it
Yeah. We do have a mountain sized orange pimple to deal with first. Or at least living through the orwelian nightmare he heralds
Yep, there is that, no way around it
Just want to note, just because a person gives up beef doesn't mean you have to have tofu. I really dislike tofu. Even the years I kept vegan I never had it except to try it a few times.
There are tons of other options in the bean world for protein replacement. Otherwise love your point.
Hehe yeah, I think tofu is sooo good though! :P
I ate tofu before I was vegan, but man I've upped my tofu game since then. Pan fry it and finish with sesame oil and soy sauce, and its a game changer.
I know it's a bit of a meme to say "you just haven't had the right one yet", but I think a lot of people get the idea of mushy plain tofu and are rightly turned off. It's so frickin good when you make it right.
Here's the recipe I use.
Yes, the distance between poorly prepared tofu and properly prepared is....vast.
