minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·4 hours agoThe “shifting attitudes”: Say climate change is a very big problem.” In 2016, it was 40%. It was 40%. Look where we are in 2026 — it’s 39%, it’s 39%. Repeating the same number twice doesn’t make a 1% change a big deal… It’s not one of the top three issues for voters right now. Just like a 45 year old who just got his foot cut off doesn’t have “get my prostate checked” as a current medical health priority It doesn’t mean he’s not worried about cancer, doesn’t mean he doesn’t think he needs checked. But right now there’s other more pressing concerns.
