Climate change is important for GA’s young voters in choice between Trump, Biden | Opinion
Yahoo! ^ | March 15, 2024 | By Marrow Woods (they/them)

Last weekend, former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden both visited Georgia ahead of this week’s primary. The rallies felt like more of a preview for the general election and the choice that young people like me will have this November—which isn’t much of a choice at all.

Trump’s speech included him saying “drill, baby, drill,” repeating his claims that the 2020 election was rigged, and talking about wanting to ban “critical race theory” in schools.

His vision of the future couldn’t be further from the one I want. As a student organizer with the Georgia Youth Justice Coalition, I’m pushing for a future where students have the freedom to develop the skills we need to reckon with our past, shape a better future, and pursue our dreams.

Climate change is a top issue for me, and for most young people I know. We understand what’s at stake if we re-elect Donald Trump—the president who pulled us out of the Paris climate accords and speculated whether climate change was a hoax.

President Biden, on the other hand, used his platform at last week’s State of the Union to talk about how his administration is working to end tax breaks for Big Oil and remove poisonous lead pipes so that every child can drink clean water.

I want to be a part of building a clean energy future for Georgia and our country as a whole. Through words and actions, Biden has demonstrated his commitment to building a brighter, safer future for America’s young people.

Trump, on the other hand, has made it clear that he wants to drag us back to our fossil fuel past. Re-electing Trump means a much darker future for my generation and those that come after us.

Could a group of people who identify individually as they/thems get together and identify collectively as “he/him”? Just to mess with people, I mean.

Deluded, indoctrinated, brainwashed, mush-headed idiots. They’ll have to learn the hard way, if ever.

How long did Yahoo have to search to find this freak?

No, don’t answer that. IT found THEM, and Yahoo was deluded enough to publish it’s scribbles.

That photo will make a dandy Trump ad.

Point out to the young folks that they’re being used, that Climate Change is a hoax.
Nobody likes the idea of being used.
Point out to them that they’re going to be very angry in years to come when they realize they have been used, just like previous generations of young Americans who now support Trump.

“Point out to the young folks that they’re being used”

They’re being indoctrinated, and the left/media is good at it.

Conservatives need to convince them abortion has more dire repercussions for the planet than CO2.

My question for the writer is, if the Cold Weather Spirit identifies as hot, is it OK to disagree with they/them?

Radical America-hating commie queers...
The Georgia Youth Justice Coalition first formed in January 2021 as a grassroots collective of Black, brown, LGBTQ+, working class, and allied students advocating for youth power and justice in our state. Our early work emerged from a mass movement led by students for fair maps and fair budgets for Georgia's children and families.

Since then, we’ve activated youth communities, shifted the political narrative, incubated movement leaders, built power, and won meaningful policy and electoral victories across

Good luck to the fatty on the left getting enough food in a totalitarian society to maintain that physique.

They don’t have a clue about the riches they enjoy because of capitalism. Abundant food, more than in the entire history of mankind, lets them get that obese.
