    I wonder what the Democrats might do if you were willing to support candidates in other parties - say the Green Party - who are much stronger on climate change. A lesson much of the rest of the world long ago absorbed.

    TONIGHT! How we move forward with climate solutions in NYS, an amazing conversation among 4 of us on the front lines of political action—biologist, state senator, youth leader, and NY Green Party cofounder—choreographed by the always penetrating Susan Arbetter. Not to be missed!

    Tonight at 9pm on watch ; ; and Yvonne Chu discuss climate change, why you shouldn't throw up your hands and say "there's nothing I can do!" and how they hope to engage the public.

    Seems more like it's working exactly how it's designed.

    The Democratic Party is completely broken.

    From the NOAA, a satellite photograph of the estimated 74,000 fires raging across the Amazon right now. Socialist Bolivia bought a Boeing 747 to fight the fires, while Brazil's hyper-capitalist leadership fans the flames & does nothing in service to their agribusiness owners.

    Zerlina dogs can't vote.

    What if people just starting tweeting me pics of their little dogs who didn't vote for Jill Stein? Or just send me those pics and particularly if they are wearing adorable outfits b/c self-care.

    The confluence of centuries of vicious exploitation of people and our ecosystems coming to a head with the physical limits of the planet, in the form of a grotesque monster turning the richest treasure of the country they govern into ash. In the USA, we too can relate.

    Sick of shoveling down blood-drenched dollars from the defense contractors and richest corporations on earth who are burning our planet alive, Neera? Glad you can take a break to shout at people for voting for a project that provided solutions to the problems the world faces.

    Thanks for reminding people that you voted for Jill Stein in 2016. You and @susansaradon both. You didn’t vote for the person who could beat Trump. You helped him by voting third party — in a swing state.

    John, I'm probably going to get more votes than you.

    I founded 2 companies, created thousands of jobs, and was the youngest CEO on the NYSE. I'm the only candidate with such a substantial economic background AND experience in Congress. That’s why I'm the candidate to get things working and fix 's damage.

    A suggestion for all the clowns whining about and people voting for candidates who have solutions to the dire threats humanity faces: you can fix that by campaigning on, and implementing when elected, a socialist Green New Deal.
