• “We don’t stand for anything, but republicans are terrible” has been a losing strategy every single time it’s been deployed.

    The public is heavily slanted in favor of democrats, but Trump has made it crystal clear that he’s going to cheat. A Democratic win requires an undeniable landslide. Ignoring real problems will not generate the transformational turnout needed to overcome blatant election fraud.

  • The problem is that they can’t just talk about climate problems they need to take action. And since the Democratic party isn’t going to support mass-executions of industry executives and billionaires, they’d have to talk about incremental changes. I’m not sure how they sell something like “we forecast that these new regulations will result in a 1 degree average temperature reduction over the next 4 years” (which would be huge). And that’s imagining that the party as a whole is able to agree on something hard enough to shove it past the Republicans.

    • We aren’t going to just talk about it now ok!?

      I was just appointed Tsar of Climate and we are going to make a whitepaper on it.

      .

      and then I will wipe it on my bum

  • Expecting the Democrats to do anything that helps us is a fool’s errand. Can’t wait for them to write a strongly-worded letter when Trump inevitably tries to take a third term.
