Very creative. Although I would go with something that specifically triggers whatever the lefties are easily offended about at the moment. That would get them out there same day.

I hate that you brought the pandemic into this. I have my own views which do not matter, but your assertion does bother me. I can clearly see why some people would want to get vaccinated while others don't trust the vaccines because they weren't tested and proven like the ones preceding. I get both sides and no one has the answer. Time will tell, but for now keep your humble for the chance of being wrong.
Now that you opened the door to a sensitive point, allow me to bring another. Cars when used wrong can kill. Guns when used wrong can kill.
The USA has the largest civilian arsenal in the world, both in absolute and relative numbers. Second place in vehicles (absolute), or fifth (relative).
Now this is where it gets tricky:
Guns:
Source
This has tons of interpretations, most being valid. I prefer to deduct suicide from the total, bringing the USA to ~5 total deaths. Homicide and Unintentional are the main numbers here. God knows what's inside Undetermined. But I think we all know that Venezuela isn't a very much free country so you can imagine. Not sure about Jamaica, which is an outlying number I haven't expected. Also I can speak for Brazil. Crime declined since 2017 because the gun ban was lifted.
Anyways, if the US has 5 deaths, that would bring us from 9th to somewhere between 18th and 20th (the higher the worst). With (if I'm not mistaken) ALL of the countries above having gun bans in place, and some of the countries below having no access to guns at all.
So my interpretation is that we overall can be trusted to do the right thing. There's stuff to learn, yes, but we're doing really good and should continue to do what we're doing and being a role model.
You arguing is very emotional and fails to present data. It's easy to fall for, but just as easy to dismiss. Just takes a little effort.
As a Los Angeles native. I can personally attest nobody should be considering moving to CA ever
I lived in LA for 7 years before moving to NorCal for a job but I got fed up with this state and I’m moving next week back to TX
As you should. Haha. I grew up there. Spent 25ish years of my life there. Lived in Boston and Atlanta. I'd never move back to CA if they paid me. Now they wanna charge you to leave. Lol
Virtue signalling about climate and CO2 only matters if you're convinced that 'climate change' is an existential issue.
Climate change is political paranoid propaganda. 50 years from now. weather forecasts will be the same as next week's forecast - WRONG. I believe in human adaptation.
'Better' is a point of view. Cases can be made for both ICE and BEV......and hydrogen Fuel Cells, and Hybrid, and so on. ICE is far from obsolete.
where do you think you get electricity for your battery charging? Fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, and natural gas) account for 79% of US energy consumption. nuclear and renewable sources account for 21%.
42% of US renewable and nuclear energy consumption is from nuclear sources, followed by 23% from biomass like wood and biofuels.
Remember, because everyone says it, it MUST be true. So say the parrots.
Why think for yourself when you can just repeat what everyone else is saying?
A generation....lost.
not sure what you are saying, but truth/fact hurts feelings, and that's okay.

to remind you that what YOU are saying is political. Except you're so indoctrinated, you can't see it

Ah, the "I know what you are, but what am I" argument, suitable for fifth graders.
