I'll always regret that we didn't nominate her in 2008, in a more situationally friendly environment.

Regardless, right now she would be under attack but thriving and putting get slogans into the nation's consciousness...a bit different than alternative facts or truth isn't the truth.

Such a tragedy. No word or phrase is strong enough to describe what we lost, and what the planet lost. I wouldn't be surprised if future centuries look back at that verdict as the point of no return in terms of climate change realities.
