Before we can do anything, we need an organized group of people who can agree on what needs to be done. Before we have that, we have to identify that what is being done isn't enough. People who believe that the Democrats are doing enough on this topic aren't going to organize with us for radical change.
What are we supposed to do? End the use of fossil fuels and transition to solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, nuclear power in whatever configuration the experts determine is necessary. End the use of cars outside of necessary exceptions and transition most transport to trains and bikes. End animal agriculture. Democrats are not doing these things, do not want to do these things, will not do these things. You have to recognize that Democrats are your enemy just as much as Republicans.
and to do that, you need to stop the climate change denial propaganda. exactly what I said from the beginning. the government is never going to have power to do anything if half the country is brainwashed.
Lmao what the fuck are you talking about? Somehow this never stops Republicans from passing all sorts of repugnant legislation, but ask a Democrat to do something good and suddenly passing any legislation ever is impossible
Controlled. Opposition.
please watch some schoolhouse rock and get back to me.
Please read a book.
