Don’t forget: we have elections in November. Be active in your own state, too. There’s a lot to change - I know about that quite well - but as I’ve heard Bernie say, “despair is not an option.” Other generations have made extraordinary changes and we will too.

Incremental change will not save us from the climate crisis. Hence my lack of hope for the political estab. My hope rests in true leftist candidates who are actually running on solid platforms fighting for radical policy changes.

You can’t compare Biden to Trump on climate change. Voting isn’t just about our standards, it’s about serving our country by trying to put the best people in charge. We can give it all kinds of justification, but the fact remains that if we don’t vote then that’s a vote for Trump

I cannot bring myself to vote for Biden, I will not lower my own standards simply because trump is in office. However, I will be voting for local progressive candidates such as @hamm_lhamm1953 to defeat Cory Booker. Despair is not an option, but neither is incremental change.
