MODERATORS
Unfortunately, we can't afford to mess around. The fresh water crisis is something America has to deal with - sooner, rather than later. There are many other crises than water and health care, and they are all very urgent.
If being a progressive has been reduced to: "I'm slightly to the left of Republicans, but just as pro-capitalist as them", then the term has been co-opted or watered-down to meaninglessness.
It's like the term "Libertarian" being co-opted by capitalists. The original meaning of libertarianism had nothing to do with capitalism, free markets, deregulation, and privatization.
So who is the candidate to watch?
The fresh water crisis is dire. Is any candidate or political figure, past or present, addressing the issue or suggesting solutions?
If not, they are all insufficient and unqualified to lead.
We can't wait until 2028 and there may no election to vote in. We need this administration to go ASAP.
