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

    And so it goes in perpetuity.

    How many degrees warmer does it have to get before we say enough and demand real leadership and accountability to the people above the dollar?

      The strategy that works is winning primaries within the Democratic party. You can see that happen in NY for example, where the DSA candidates won several primaries in the state legislature, creating a meaningful shift in what kinds of laws passed.

        Agreed! Primaries are the more likely strategy for success. DNC holding presidential primaries this time around?..

          They are…but there aren’t progressives running in them because they don’t think they’re in a position to win. Instead we get Robert Kennedy Jr. who is backed by Trump supporters to try and normalize fascist viewpoints and running in the Democratic primary against Biden in order to do that.

          I’d concentrate on congressional primaries if you want to elect progressives right now.
