That's understood, and what is your practical solution for that? Sweeping political and economic revolution is unlikely to come to the US anytime soon. In the meantime, we have one party that denies that climate change exists at all and one party that acknowledges it is real. Also, this is the usual "I'm so leftist" thing where you spent several paragraphs criticizing the Democratic party without saying a single thing about the horror of Republicans.
My practical solution is to acknowledge and talk about these issues, and to not gaslight people bringing up their real concerns. The only way we can effect change is through communication.
Why would I need to discuss Republican issues at length here when no one is disagreeing that they are bad, no one is arguing that they aren't bad? In my orevious comment, I literally state "Kamala is obviously better than Trump." We all know. Had a Republican told me that they are better than Dems, I would've argued with them too. Go ahead and make that argument if you want and I'll refute it, but it's a waste of our time since we both already agree there.
