Biden's record is not at all progressive. So how can I ask progressives to vote for Biden and urge others to do so? Three words: Trump. Climate. Democracy. 1/ risingupwithsonali.com/2020/…

2/ As much as progressives deplore (as I do) Biden’s record: if you’re not urging others to vote for him, you’re not doing all you could to remove a climate-denier and would-be dictator from the White House.

3/ Especially in swing states, by encouraging others to vote for someone else or not to vote at all, you're risking that Trump stays, and the Paris climate goals stay decisively out of reach.

Until you can connect biden to climate or democracy, that's only one word.

I trust your judgement. You’ve been around a long time and you have experience dealing with the rise of fascism and authoritarianism. I just hope others on here agree.

First thing you've ever done I disagree with

Progressives need to hear it from somebody like you! Thank you❤️
Let’s vote Biden in. And then let’s talk about his distrust of whistleblowers.
Replying to @DanielEllsberg
If you deplore his record, why vote for him? He’s not arguably better than Trump, he’s not going to do anything about fracking, let alone the climate, and his ascension was one of the more undemocratic things we’ve seen (since Hillary). Surely, you can do better. 🤦🏻‍♂️
