$25 million? On a primary?!

Which one?

Oh.

Look y'all. If you want to spend $25M on a primary, that's fine. But I said what I said about why I'm a climate doomer, and why we will not make bold enough moves in time, and why we should prepare for the inevitable.

We
could choose progressive politicians who make the right climate calls. But we choose centrists who do just enough not to get yelled at, while preserving ~200 billionaires' cash.

It is what it is.

China does not have bolder politicians, or gentler billionaires than the US when it comes to climate change. We have green politicians over here too!👍🏿

What China has, is a system where the politicians that do want to do something about climate change, win more elections.🤷🏿‍♂️

No, I'm not interested in discussing the gory details of AIPAC, or super PACs, or United Democracy Project, or GOP megadonors in Dem primaries. There are enough places on the internet you can go and talk about that.
