I’m looking locally, where I can make a difference.
You a member of your local DNC? If not, I’m assuming you have no idea how the process works.
When the people voting for the party’s platform are further left, the party’s platform moves further left.
The biggest problem is that even if far left politicians get elected locally, it’ll be years before they get into positions where can enact the changes we actually need to stave off the worst effects of the climate catastrophe.
By that point it’ll have been too late for a long, long time. We need people who will act now and they don’t exist.

I guess I don’t just want to give up.
