I’m confused. Is this one of those times when are supposed to value Europe’s opinion and follow their lead, or not? I thought we weren’t supposed to give a fuck about what Europe does.
Clean elections are worth noting. The fact your team is resisting any attempt at election reform as “voter suppression” tells me you’re a fascist piece of shit who is cool with blatant election fraud.
Oh so we do follow Europe when it works for your views. Otherwise fuck those guys and their global treaties, pass the freedom fries.
I’ve literally never said don’t follow Europe, you dunce. What’s with your strawman, other than to enable election fraud in the USA?
Glad to know you’re on board with the Paris climate treaty, UN, and WHO.
When was the Paris climate "treaty" voted on by the US Senate?
No I don’t believe it had been voted on. Though it’s debatable whether or not it needs to be voted on. Your point?
It’s not a “treaty” if it’s not ratified by the Senate. Hence it being an “accord.”
Glad to be of help, Rambo.
Lol argue semantics when you have no ground to stand on. Correct it’s not an official “treaty” nor does it need to be. We good now, you guys support it now that it’s an accord.

It’s not semantics. It’s in the Constitution, you goof. If the Senate doesn’t pass it, it’s literally not a “treaty.”
Come see Duck with a Bonehead destroyed by facts.
“Semantics” are actually literal differences in this case.
It's not just semantics. Claiming that we reneged on a "treaty" is a big deal. Claiming that Trump opted out of an agreement Obama signed onto that didn't limit any other country's emissions but did limit ours, isn't quite the same thing. Why should Trump have to follow an agreement Obama made? If Obama wanted to give his agreements weight and longevity he should have submitted them to the Senate.
This is a totally fair stance with many good points. It doesn’t take into account several factors though. The senate operated largely under bad faith throughout much of Obama’s presidency and wouldn’t vote anything in if he backed it. The US has been one of the largest producers of emissions, the largest for a long time, and most of the world understandably needed to see our commitment. Which didn’t happen because our senate was unwilling to give Obama anything.
So while it isn’t a treaty, my own words and you’re correct on that. It is/was an extremely important accord that should have/should still be progressed to a treaty and the US should push the issue forward. There are other factors to discuss here and I am not trying to oversimplify it, though a message does tend to pull for that.
