By the time my kids are my age, there will be 50% more people on our planet and it can not sustain us unless we take drastic measures now. It's past important, past urgent. It's dire.
Until recently, Republicans were right - there were enough resources on our planet to sustain us. No longer. Our population is increasing fast and we may be past the tipping point.
We are tearing down forests to make room for luxury foods like beef, palm oil, etc. We're poisoning our land trying to maximize this year's harvest at what expense? Poison land and rivers.
Insects are on a decline with over half of flying insects disappearing in the last 30 years. When was the last time you had to clean the bugs off your windshield? You used to do at almost every fill-up.
I could go on about food insecurity causing wars and so much more.
We need a hard left turn for our children. It may not be easy to see Bernie as President but I believe it is necessary.

(5,122 posts)Bernie's supporters are passionate. I believe everyone should vote blue no matter who. But, unfortunately, I'll bet more people will not vote for Biden or Bloomberg than won't vote for Bernie.
We need change urgently. Most people know it even if they don't understand it.
That's why Bernie and Trump are so popular. Change.
I would love to see Warren because I think she will get more done but I'm fine with Bernie.
We need a hard left turn.
