    Who are these candidates with a “bold climate agenda”? I don’t know any political party in any country, where I’d say ‘they’ve got a bold climate agenda’.

      There aren’t any. The article is talking about what people want.

        Fuck cars. Support public transport.

        Fuck private planes.

        Stop meat and milk subsidies, add extra taxes instead.

        No more fossil energy anywhere.

        Even that little is bold.

            Read the Wiki and well, I dont know. It may be a climate agenda, but in my opinion being green isn’t necessary being bold.

            Bold would be meeting at least what scientist recommend: halving emissions by 2030. I know, that’s very much to ask for any country in the world. That’s why it’s called bold.

            What green parties all over the world are doing is: turn the rudder away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy. Which is a step in the right direction, but I think that’s not bold. It’s the least one can do.

              This current one is very much including countries outside of the US and Green Parties have been and actually are in government in a number of countries. Also those parties are mostly not Russia friendly at all.

    73% of Young US Voters should open their eyes and realise that the entire state mechanism is owned by capitalists, and that they would never let anyone who threatens their profits get in to power.

    Then they should start reading up on anarchism, and start getting serious about enacting change instead of continuing to play along by the rules the capitalist state has set out for them and expecting said change to somehow materialise out of a system that has, and will continue to, put all of its might in to preventing it.

    How many of them support severely restricting their lifestyle to meet those climate goals?

    Everyone supports climate action until they find out it means no A/C, riding the city bus, and not having 2.5 kids in a suburban McMansion
