Climate change is upon us and it is an existential emergency.

It requires an emergency footing response that is transformative, sweeping, and immediate.

We should abolish or replace any institution or entity that chooses to stand between us and such a response.
For example: “But we can’t pass meaningful for climate reform because of the Senate” is an argument to abolish the Senate, not an argument to stop pursuing climate reform.
Realize that whatever reason one would give for not passing immediate radical sweeping climate change policy is an argument for abolishing, purging, removing or replacing that thing.
Aliens, visiting a blasted planet earth 400 million years later, find a message carved in diamond: WE COULD HAVE SAVED IT, BUT THERE WERE THESE PROCEDURAL RULES
“Destroying the planet because ...”

It’s totally expected but still the effortless speed with which conservatives flip from “we aren’t allowed to say anything anymore!!” to “here are all the things you’re literally not allowed to say” is always breathtaking.
“We’re being censored by woke cancel culture! We’re afraid to say what we actually think!—also here is our new law forbidding mention of the following topics in public schools.”
lol, literally a laundry list of things these "woke cancel culture is coming for my free speech" warriors want to not allow to be said

Just read an article that amounts to “because of gerrymandering, vote suppression, propaganda, and anti-democracy efforts, if Democrats want to win elections, they must nominate candidates who won’t fight gerrymandering, vote suppression, propaganda, and anti-democracy efforts.”
Parts of this country are going to start seeing climate refugees from places like Florida and I really think we ought to rethink our hypercapitalist society that consumes people for profit and uses militarized authoritarian violence to enforce itself before we get there.
To me that seems like we're going to need to nominate some unconventional candidates who are willing to fight the status quo but idk.

Yes we crashed the ship into the iceberg instead of changing course but what’s important is it was a bipartisan decision between people who had already taken the lifeboats.
Yes we could have changed course but we asked all the most selfish assholes in the world and they said no.

What? Yes there were enough of us in control to do it anyway but I feel you’re missing the part where the assholes said no, so it would have been a partisan decision.
Oh so I suppose YOU had a plan? Let’s hear it.

So easy for you to be critical and say “just don’t hit the iceberg” but I don’t see your navigation charts.

Again I reiterate that Democrats should lie to Republicans repeatedly. Tell those 10 Republicans that they promise not to use reconciliation and then just use it anyway.

They can even say they are “very concerned” about the reversal right before voting for it.
Please stop acting like these 10 Republican Senators deserve any consideration, they’re killing us all for money. Lie to them. See how they like it.
“Oh no but voters will punish Democrats for going back on their word.”

No they won’t. Are you kidding? They fell asleep the moment you said “reconciliation.”

Voters will punish Democrats for failing to deliver. They won’t care about how.

Yes. And that problem is: Republicans largely want to see the virus spread. The New York Times The Morning June 28, 2021   By David Leon
I think they're willing to take that risk in order to kill more vulnerable people in our society.
Also Republicans pretty clearly aren't interested in having elections anymore, so I don't think they're particularly concerned about voters.
