The Weekend Wonk: Doomscrolling to the Election
October 30, 2020
I’m on the other side of the camera for this interview from October 23 on prospects and import of the oncoming election.
The idea was to get an encouraging GOTV message to voters who may be overwhelmed with the climate crisis, and not understand the huge importance of voting, and the vast chasm between the incumbent and the challenger.
Musician/Activist Seth Bernard is the interviewer.
We discussed the importance of voting, and the real potential for change on the scale needed to mitigate the climate crisis.I worry that some greens and young people may feel too hopeless, or have been mislead to believe that the Biden Climate program is not adequate. That’s wrong. The program is big enough, and has the right components, to get us where we need to go. For a deep dive on the prospects for a clean energy revolution, take time to listen in.
This has gotten quite a few views on Facebook, and the comments make me feel like it’s hitting the target.

A request to all American voters. However J Biden handles the election, do not, yourself, lose it for him by not voting. Please, it is important for your country.
