We could heel-toe our way to universal healthcare. Or to college for all. Or an end to for-profit prisons. Or a Green New Deal.

And you could argue incrementalism has it’s place. Isn’t asking for less better than reaching for the moon and falling?
Aren’t we at a place where harm reduction makes more sense than idealism?

Even if you think it’s ok to ask some to wait their turn; even if you think “not right now” is a reasonable answer, remember this:
That fourth thing I mentioned at the top? #GreenNewDeal? That’s what it will take to address climate change in a way that gives us a ghost of a fighting chance.
You think there might not be anything left after another four years of Trump and that’s understandable, but without a response to climate change — NOW — we won’t make it anyway.
And if this is to be our last at bat, we’d better swing for the fucking fences.
