  • I mean, yes this is cool … but they need to be getting at the root causes.

    “Environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening.” —Chico Mendes.

    Idk much about the specific situation other than quick wiki read, but sounds like poaching and deforestation are the main culprits. Yes this is an important step, but conservation needs to include protection of their habitat if this is going to be sustainable and not just a project to keep pandolins in zoos. Fuck the charismatic megafauna approach… stop destroying the habitats. Relieve economic pressure on citizens to help prevent poaching, and invest in strong systems of accountability and prevention.

    How does voting for someone who is funding a genocide going to sway that person to stop funding it? It’s just illogical. There are plenty of Democrats who are active Zionists and support the war, probably a fair number are wealthy donors. The only way to sway the policy of the Democratic party is to threaten to their power.

    I don’t think you’re selfish, and I don’t hate you lol, I just think you’re not seeing the enormous potential of forming a leftist voting coalition. Imagine how amazing it would be if the Democratic Party was trying to cater to the votes of leftists, and not to “moderates” who think that an openly white nationalist candidate is a viable potential option.
