Not only in elections but in the very real fight to SURVIVE once Climate Change spirals out of control in their lifetimes...

I used to believe I would be dead long before the worst effects, but that was just another lie fobbed off on the public (that we still had DECADES if not until 2100+ for the worst to happen)...I have started asking them why they are NOT in the streets every day DEMANDING action and changing the narrative around the issue.

Climate Change is real, it is man-made and it WILL kill BILLIONS if immediate, serious and sustained action is not taken.
They do not have DECADES...they have about 100 MONTHS (maybe)...after that, it is going to be a shitshow that may make Trump look like a walk in the park (but will absolutely be worse if they allow his ilk to remain in power long term).

The time to act was 30 years ago, but like the meme I saw earlier today...if the best time to start was in the past, the 2nd best is NOW.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
