It's 2023, and there's a US election in 2024 that will determine the future of climate change, war in Ukraine, the global economy, reproductive rights, and global fascism.
And folks still want to talk about Cambridge Analytica in 2015, instead of stuff like this:
The reason you can't make any progress on:
* Climate change
* Reproductive rights
* Trans rights
Is because too many Black folk are denied the right to vote. Focus on that instead of your pet issue.
I'm a climate doomer, because I know that no progress on the climate can happen unless Black voting rights in the US get sorted. And we aren't even paying attention to the Black voting problem, let alone close to solving it.
There is no path to making meaningful progress on climate change that doesn't go through Black people in the US getting to vote. None. The fact that we still can't accept this, is why I'm not optimistic about our chances to do anything meaningful about the climate.

Principally you are right. However, as for the US, who would do something effectively about global warming are (perhaps) Democrats, never Republicans.
I understand @mekkaokereke 's insistance on black voting rights as a pre-condition to guarantee an overwhelming electoral win for Democrats.
I am not sure if my interpretation is correct?
Yup.
There's already wide consensus that climate change is real, human caused, it's getting bad, and we should do significant changes to prevent disaster. More than 80% I believe at last polling. But that will never happen. Because the US government is too right wing. Much more right wing than the voting population. Because the most progressive US voters (Black people) are intentionally prevented from voting.
