    If you can vote for politician A and politician B, and both of them are bought by the fossil fuel companies, to what extent are you to blame?

    And if citizens can be held accountable for the actions and choices that their goverment has made, and that government has committed war crime after war crime abroad, killing literal millions, does that mean citizens are a legitimate target for retaliatory attacks? Was the Dresden firebombing justified? Was 9/11 justified? Were the atomic bombs dropped on Japan justified?

        If you can vote for politicians P1 through PN where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and all of them are bought by the fossil fuel companies, to what extent are you to blame?

      Democrats have a better record on climate than Republicans do

        Sure, but making it worse at a slightly slower rate is still making it worse. The most recent democratic presidential candidate was pro fracking.

        Only so much as was necessary to keep the carrot on the stick

      That only holds true for the US. Plenty of choice where I grew up.

  Fossil fuels, petrochemical refining and usage, industrialized meat “farming,” clothing/fast fashion, cement.
