The Democrats are very very far from ideal but they are trying to make the life of the average American better and they're trying (to little, to late, admittedly) to do something about climate change. The other side actively wants to kill as many Americans as they can and generally fuck up the world in every way possible. If you don't have your head stuck up your own arse really far, the difference is very clear to see.
Both sides are responsible for the climate crisis we are in right now. Instead of advocating for one of them use your energies to advocate for someone better that would actually do something for climate and not just green washing
And who would that be?
Anyone who isn't responsible for the climate crisis or involved in it.
Yet another cop-out.
Because people like this have no platform. They have no plan. They screech and wail, as if caterwauling is panacea.
"Fix the climate!"
"End homelessness!"
"Stop the genocide!"
But when pressed as to how to effect these changes, they almost invariably resort to maligning your morals, denigrating your doubts, and calumniating your civility.
