We're in an existential crisis in regards to the #ClimateEmergency and the future habitability of this planet for everyone's children hinge on how we handle the next decade but yes, this uhh.. cute little issue could win you votes, sweetie, definitely
#BetterDems
Find some urgency, yeah?
Democrats should start with acknowledging the party's complicity in violence, bigotry, & bad decisions.
Then people might listen.
And then? They need to sell SOME better vision of the future - leading instead of following the crowd - and may the best FUTURE win.
When egos win, WE lose.

If only one person decides if the world should live or die, that person will always choose death because death is the only inevitable thing about life.
#BetterDems
That's WHY diversity, equity, and inclusion are survival necessities for a species capable of building extinction-level technology.
Kids who eat ALL the candy make themselves sick. Wealth redistribution doesn't punish or spoil. Responsible governance supports. It assists those vulnerable to starving OR to gorging by setting boundaries and providing mental health assistance for anyone out of balance, at the extremes.
#BetterDems
Peace is our natural preference. War is capitalism optimized for selfishness. We were trained to participate, but we can opt out.
Everything is balance, but the antidote to fascism is empathy.
Practice it and you'll see so many opportunities to help save the world.

Don't shut up, kids.
Express your heart, even if you do it badly. Being loudly wrong is how we learn to be loudly right. The worst people on Earth have a BIG head-start on the best people in this.
Speak out against injustice. Take feedback.
Stay compassionate.
#BetterDems
#ClimateEmergency
What happens when you clear all the adults out of the room?
Death.
Lots and lots of unnecessary death.
And suffering.
So. Much. Pointless. Suffering.
If we had compassion for this person, or ANY person, we'd take the terrible burden of world-ending power away from him.
#BetterDems
The GOP generates positive feelings about increasing harm.
The Dems ALLOW harms, then tell the easy story about cartoon villains. When they DO reduce harms, they fail to edutain, blaming voters for not "getting" it.
#BetterDems reduce harms AND generate positive emotions about their efforts.
Adding "must be a humanist" to the list of presidential (and all government service) qualifications.
All we have to do is figure out how to measure it such that the most selfish people on the planet CAN'T form a bunch of bigotry and predatory cabals and cheat their way into power.
#BetterDems
Being rewarded for anti-social behavior detaches the brain from reality. Instead of empathy and self-actualization, they tend toward grandiosity and violence.
Mental health is a human right.
We owe treatment to ALL our citizens. Including the president.

#BetterDems
All climate attacks should be expressed in units of human suffering, death, and displacement.
We are trading the future habitability of Earth away for soothing spats of violent rhetoric while a small handful of selfish monsters profit, "winning" at eating the world.

#ClimateEmergency
The system is working exactly as intended. The death serves selfish masters and the protest -- opting out of killing -- isn't happening.
#BetterDems
#ClimateEmergency
We've been trained, all our lives, to ignore corpses. To eat and wear and decorate with them. All in service of THIS moment.
It only brainwashes you if you cultivate a taste for bigoted, anti-reality content. Like, I could hate-listen to Rush Limbaugh and NOT learn to despise women. I was always curious why my dad found it entertaining, though.
Then I got old enough to understand how he feels about women.
#BetterDems
Your job: protect vulnerable ecosystems and species
Your assignment: f&ck up human lives
This is what heartless, soulless, anti-reality governance gets us.
#BetterDems
#ClimateEmergency
Finally.
UNDERSTAND HOW BRAINS WORK!
Protecting and uplifting global well-being is the most compelling work a human mind can be enlisted to do. But you have to express TRUTH about what's really going on and stop trying to cajole them to participate in a broken system.
#BetterDems

The most efficient way to ensure a child doesn't grow up to be a serial killer is to beat them to death. Everything is a spectrum. Life eats life vs Life PROTECTS life.
Optimizing for selfishness in society looks like lots of murder, destruction, hatred, suffering.
And gaslighting.
#BetterDems
Amazing. Now do beef and dairy!
Lose your taste for corpses and save the world, kids.

#ClimateEmergency
#Enlightenment is a human right. We deserve reality-based governance tied to human flourishing, not wealth-hoarder-appeasement. Those folks need medical care, not rewards for anti-social behavior.
Bigotry is a mind virus. It's time to counteract the enstupidification propaganda.
#BetterDems
Wow, so progressive to make accommodations for people who experience serious mental health issues but....
Oh, no? They're just letting delusions run government?
Cool, cool.
Can we amend the constitution such that there's a basic reality-alignment test for government service?
#BetterDems
The greatest of his cons was getting the American people to make him president, the White House his nursing home, as he accidentally facilitated the death of the cruel, selfish, unsustainable old world order by demonstrating how stupid and destructive optimizing for greed really was.
#BetterDems
It's both.
Bigoted people misalign with reality for evolutionary reasons.
Choosing to care about the world around you signals to your brain you're committed to protecting others, unlocking perspective and wisdom to collaboratively outmaneuver destructive people.
#BetterDems
Care more to know more.
Cigarettes and guns are LESS of an existential threat to humanity than fossil fuels and cattle farming.
Responsible governance would ban advertising of the BIGGEST threats to human wellbeing. Explaining cause and effect isn't even that complicated.
#BetterDems
#ClimateEmergency
If you want to get smarter, practice more empathy. If you understand how brains work - particularly those belonging to a diverse array of people and various other species - then you'll be better able to see the systems of cause and effect governing reality... 1/3

STOP EATING BEEF AND DAIRY, kids.
We NEED the forests to stay forests. If you care about the future of humanity at all, lose your taste for corpses.
Look at the systems training you to care LESS and resist them! We can't survive being this selfish and cruel.
#ClimateEmergency
#BetterDems
Sorry, bigots. Your brains are dark. Turn light on; learn biology! Creation is diverse. The planet needs rational humans behaving responsibly. Leave trans kids alone. YOU are the predators you're afraid of ruining peoples' lives. Stop it.
Let's goooooo.

The GOP is playing narcissist chicken with the fate of humanity and Dems are letting them.
We deserve reality-based, future-improving governance.
#BetterDems
Stop choosing bigotry. Start preferencing people over profit. We won't survive otherwise. If we're not for everyone, we're for nothing.
If, instead of having zero tolerance for immigrants, we had zero tolerance for rapists, we wouldn't be feeding the worlds' childrens' futures into a woodchipper, listening to the most selfish humans capitalism has ever produced claim Jesus is totally on board with enforcing conformity.
#BetterDems
Capitalism is the process of converting infants into useful garbage.
Everything's recycling, dontchaknow?
#BetterDems
Honestly, I think we should arrange MORE playdates to keep tRump distracted from destroying the world until he saves us all by keeling over.
#BetterDems
Tell the king to bring him a blonde girl harem all trained in subtly re-directing murderous impulses. It's the least a king could do.
Smart.
#BetterDems
We are not a safe space for reality-based humans.
