If this doesn't show privilege, I don't know what does. - MDH Jun 1, 14:52

      - LOL, what up Syria! -- nm - MDH Jun 1, 15:01 1
        
        Twitter tells me that Nicaragua will be 90% renewable by 2020. So yeah, we're Syria. -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 15:05

    - North fucking Korea signed it so... -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 14:11
    - I think on this point (based on the responses so far), the rest of the world is not inclined to do it, because it would be a bad choice for them too - pmb Jun 1, 14:08

        So far, Trump seems to be having almost the *opposite* impact, but we need to be careful it doesn't turn around -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 14:14 1
        
        right, *at this point* the world seems to be taking Trump as a large scale Cautionary Tale. But that can swing. -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 14:19
- Right, but we're not. We're just dropping out. -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 14:03 3

    - Hopefully he loses in 2020 and rescinds our backout the next day -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 14:07

And Jill Stein voters are getting savaged on twitter. - Jovian Jun 1, 13:18 8
- i don't agree with that. Jill Stein isn't doing this. Trump voters take the blame here. -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 13:37 4
  - Jill Stein was the candidate of the *Green* Party. Some of her supporters voted for her b/c 'Trump and Hillary are the same' - ty97 Jun 1, 13:51 3
    - i get their reasoning, but it's misplaced. The people who voted for Trump are the people who made that decision. -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 13:53 2
      - [deleted]
      - Certainly the people who voted for Trump voted for him, but the Stein voters knew Stein would never be President. - ty97 Jun 1, 14:01
