Either I understand you and don't agree, or I don't understand you and therefore you don't know where I stand on this topic, so you don't know how far apart we stand. What part do you think I don't understand, or would you rather dismiss me?

"My opinion of what is important is more important that anyone's personal experiences." I agree the world getting hotter is critical. I do not believe it is the only critical issue we face. For this reason, it's good if these problems are delegated to the people who can deal with them most effectively instead of ragging on everyone that they just don't care like they should.
Biden isn't the democratic party. Trump isn't the republican. I'm talking about the party. They are individuals. I'm talking about policies. There are good and bad policies in every party, and because you get demonized for not subscribing to it all you can't pick and choose. But yes, I know it's not the popular opinion, which is extremely scary to me.
I think this is actually the popular opinion. I believe that no one person can deal with every single issue the world has, and it's not selfish to choose what actions you do take to help the world. Not everyone can put the energy in to save the dolphins. But if that's your calling, you should go for it, and not judge someone for not putting the same level of energy in as you. It's not hiding your head, it's focusing your energy to be more effective. Passion is needed to make the change needed. It's okay to choose your battles.
Both sides ARE bad. The real issue is that both sides have latched onto some valid points and you need to eat their whole philosophy or the rest of the base will consider you a monster. Then they come out of the woodwork and say crap like "you're saying both sides are the same" to justify shutting on people who don't subscribe to the dogma. If you want to say that one side has latched onto a specific type of person sure. But that doesn't mean you have to subscribe to the opposite side and forgo your own mind and sense of political advocacy. Things are going as they are because they are being propped up by people desperate to justify their past decisions instead of learning from them.
My message was to someone else. I'm guessing it was deleted or something, I don't know. I'm very new here. I can see why it would appear rude, so if it matters I'm sorry about that. I'm not sure how I am engaging without good faith... that would imply I'm not interested in considering someone else might be right and I might be wrong. I consider that every time I engage someone in conversation.
As you said, you didn't have to engage, and so for your answer I am grateful. Have a good day, and for what its worth I hope more people start personally finding the planet to be their calling. It's a good one.
