So this whoever-pundit declares our issues in 2024 (and beyond/back-forth) were the *CORRECT* ones, duh!
The brief blurb about him says he's an environmentalist, so one of ours, but I didn't read his pundit piece past the obligatory dig at Dems to the effect that we always screw ourselves out of any advantage. And, reminder, "pundit" means "learned," which might call into question many yakkers.
So his learned dictum that the salient issues will be "democracy ... openness ... science" gives rise to a *HUH?* and the question: What the heck *HAVE* we been talking about forever if not those things?!

Opinion by Bill McKibben
.... The next two elections should be decided on the great questions of democracy versus authoritarianism, openness versus racism, science versus ignorance. But my guess is that electric bills may play at least as large a role. ....
