A bigger issue is how people maintain their yards. Lawns are the ecological equivalent of a parking lot. Lawns are terrible for the local species, as are all of the non-native species used in modern landscaping. Once you learn what is actually native and what is not, you'll be completely shocked at how few native species we cultivate.

Another really huge issue is everyone religiously scrubbing their yard of fallen leaves. Leaves need to stay on the ground. They are essentially compost for trees, and tons and tons of bugs lay eggs in fallen leaves, including fireflies.

I quit mowing my lawn and let some native plants grow up in place of grass and stopped eradicating the fallen leaves, and that summer my yard was absolutely lit the fuck up with fireflies.

All of this is currently reversible. We just have to stop buying into stupid capitalist yard maintenance traditions and start working with the native species. It's honestly much less work than trying to make all of these Chinese species that are in everyone's yards work.

Urges de-escalation and then gives them literally $8,000,000,000 to continue the genocide.

It drives me crazy knowing that anyone takes this absolute clown seriously.

This does not deserve a headline. We need to stop paying attention to this tool.

It's a low bar. If we're now judging candidates in comparison to Trump then we're in trouble.

Trump isn't the standard. He's an anomaly, and we should aim way higher.

I've finally started seeing some in my city over the last week or so. They are just so goddamn big and awkward looking. They really look like someone put dumpster on wheels. I honestly find them pretty jarring to see out on the road.

Lol we are so fucked.

They are simply complicit.

The mask is off. We officially cannot trust our government anymore.

Terrible analogy.

This is the goddamn DNC's fault. They are allergic to supporting anyone that's not an old school establishment Democrat.

Give us a suitable candidate. Biden is too old and everyone knows it.

Give us someone that is actually progressive and that actually wants to help the American people. We have a few very obvious issues that neither of our geriatric overlords are addressing.

  1. ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE. This is the most important one. Just do something. Anything. Nothing is being done and it's getting hotter every year.

  2. Lower the cost of living. Rent is out of control. Food costs are out of control. It's hard to live right now. Protect US citizens from corporate greed.

  3. Fix the real estate market. Most of us will never be able to own a house because several corporations have been allowed to run amok. Make it so the average person can buy a house.

  4. Healthcare for all. It's not complicated.

  5. Stop the genocide.

Put someone forward with this obvious and simple platform, and I promise they win.

We are not married to Biden. Get us someone younger. Why is this so hard?

This is some weird ass propaganda.

The best thing that Biden ever did was just to not be Trump.

Why are these memes so weirdly die-hard in the support of a man that is visibly unfit for the 4 years of presidency?

No one is actually excited about old Joe. It's just that he's simply not Trump.

It would be best if he steps down so that we can get a person in office that actually excites people for more than just not being the other guy.

So that's why his mask doesn't cover his mouth.
