Don’t vote for science alone. Vote for character, truth, integrity and patriotism. Unfortunately far too many feel that science is just another political talking point.

Science, demonstrable and provable facts and technological advancement all have a well known liberal bias and should all be banned.

Bill Nye is a snake oil salesman, not a scientist. He has none of professional ethics that a true scientist has.
Look up ActiveION, he endorsed it and personally sold it, and its complete pseudoscience garbage.

good sound-bite. climate change is measurable, and measuring is part of what science does. no one is anti-measurement. people measure things all the time, formally and informally
it’s only when science becomes ideology that there’s a problem, and unfortunately it is very ideological

I mean I get the sentiment but when one party actively disavows reality at every turn, it’s very much partisan.
