I don’t know a ton about him, but from what I’ve read, I think he will bring a lot of valuable ideas to the table related to climate change and concrete steps for a green new deal. I’m still keeping an open mind about everyone, and hoping that the eventual candidate is able to draw from the best parts of a lot of the contenders. He's my governor and he's great. He is all in on climate, women's health care, and education. Example: After the pp title x gag order he made a swift public rebuke and signed off on our equally amazing AG suing. Like within an hour. If anything I'd be bummed to lose him here at home.

This is really enjoyable to watch. I don't understand how climate change isn't one of the top voting issues for everyone. Literally nothing else matters if the planet is uninhabitable.

So I was listening to the Mayor Pete interview on PSA. I love everything I heard and promptly donated. I hope he reaches the 65k.
Something that occurred to me while listening is...are we ready for a (married) gay president? As in the white house being occupied by a same-sex couple. (don't get me wrong...we should be. It shouldn't matter.) Will it result in an uptick of hate crimes? Because you know 45 will call in his troops and incite these things. Just imagining his "jokes" makes me nervous. I like to think that many American's have come a long way in the last decade or so on the subject, but that this will be further than they can handle. It sucks.

I was just talking to H about that yesterday. Like how is this not a priority? But this video is exactly why - we’ve got a bunch of Americans like Meghan who don’t believe in reading and actually hearing facts. She just repeats the lies and says them in an authoritative tone. Side note, I like how she tried to gotcha him by putting words in his mouth and setting up a “clip”. I hate TV.

I admire him so much. (We share an alma mater so that might clouds thing a tiny smidge, but I think his body of work stands on its own)

Especially because I bet she'd say national security is a priority for her. Well guess what climate change is a threat to national security too. Twatwaffle.

Sherrod Brown will NOT run I’m going to selfishly say that I’m happy he isn’t, only because Ohio needs him. Or maybe not so selfishly? A Republican would definitely replace him if he were to leave Ohio.

I know we need Sherrod in OH, but I’m seriously bummed he’s not running. He would’ve been amazing, and I really liked his chances against Trump.

I'm sad about Sherrod. I was really hoping he'd run, but I guess the field is really crowded too, so idk. I need Beto and Biden to make up their minds so we can get this show on the road.

I am very bummed that Sherrod isn’t running, but Charlotte Clymer sums up his decision perfectly.
