It's climate change increasing pressures in hundreds of domains, making people fearful and easy to manipulate. It's happening the world over. Blaming candidates for not showing enough conviction is just another kind of copium.

And in fact, wanting candidates to show conviction could be seen as problematic element, as conviction is really not what we need right now in regards to getting elected. Anyone thinking even remotely rationally about the world their children will live in ought to figure that out for themselves.

The big problem is though that vast voting blocks including their candidates are:

a) the ones who fucked it up in the first place. b) too old to care how much things go to shit after them.
