Nancy Pelosi is living in a hellscape these past days. The sky is orange to red, that picture is just from a few days ago. Wildfires have been ravaging California for a while, but it feels like this year is especially bad. But things will only get worse in the upcoming decades, Climate Change will see to that. So why does Pelosi not do everything possible to support and promote the Green New Deal? She is the only Congressperson in the Bay Area not to do so. It is inexcusable. Instead she deliberately called it the Green Dream, pretending that it is impossible.
This is also the first year in decades she is not facing a republican in the general, but instead a very Progressive Democrat. There will in fact be no republican on the ticket, so her seat is not in any danger whatsoever of falling to a conservative. So why is she just allowed without criticism by everyone to just refuse to debate. Nancy Pelosi is way too conservative for the area she lives in, it is a safe blue area. There is no reason not to support Shahid Buttar in CA-12.
Climate Change is going to get far worse and if we have people leading us, who won’t budge even when the Sky is fucking Orange, why should we keep following them. There is an alternative to Pelosi. We do not need to rely on her. We do not need her to keep CA-12 blue and we do not need her as Speaker. There are other capable people. What we do need is Democratic leadership on this issue! Or else our children will be right in considering us the murderers of their future. We will deserve to be hated by them, if we cannot even change our minds when the sky is burning.
Edit: Because I am not great at creating Diaries, I didn’t do the most basic thing and add a link to Shahid Buttar’s website. So here it is!
