Any chance of limiting global warming to 1.5˚C rests on Joe Biden being elected to a second term. Voters need an accurate accounting of Biden’s climate record ahead of the November 2024 election.

If you’re in the US and want to get involved, you can volunteer or give to the Biden Victory Fund

    *“Clueless voters”… *

    When you think this way you’ve already lost.

    Voters vote based on the needs they see in front of them and the solutions being offered. If one doesn’t like how voters vote, do not blame them, blame their circumstances and options. They have so little power relative to political, business, and media elites. Instead of criticizing them for using that modicum of power in a way you don’t like, demand that the people with the power give voters a reason to vote otherwise. Doing otherwise is not only disrespectful, but pointless. It’s like wishing away rain instead of weatherproofing your roof.

    In other words, chastise the media for failing to explain this, and politicians for failing to convince voters that they’re serious. This least-worst-option thing only works for people who have anything to lose. Me? Yeah, I’m the petite bourgeoisie, so it’s compelling. But I don’t blame people in, say, East Palestine for saying, ‘no, electing Biden will not save ‘the environment’. You want me to vote to save YOUR environment, but you won’t vote to save MY environment.’
