Another conversation with a Biden volunteer

Martha: Hi Peter, I'm Martha, volunteering for Joe Biden and Democrats. Voting is already underway - we need your help making calls to turn out voters across the country! Can you sign up for a calls training this week?

Peter: Not until the Democrats fully support Medicare for all, the green new deal, and a ban on fracking.

Martha: Joe Biden understands that the Green New Deal is a crucial framework for tackling the climate crisis. His plan invests in workers, in infrastructure, and in communities hit hardest by pollution, creating millions of good-paying jobs and building an equitable, clean energy future.

Martha: Joe Biden and Democrats believe affordable health care is a right. Biden will protect and build on the Affordable Care Act to give Americans more choice and reduce health care costs.

Peter: Joe Biden won't even ban fracking. Have you heard of the climate clock? In 7 years climate change passes the point of no return, and human extinction will become inevitable. Biden has made it clear that he will do nothing to avert this. A climate plan that takes effect in 2050 is like a Band-Aid put on a corpse. I have a child. I will never support a candidate who offers the children of the world nothing but death.

Peter: And the Affordable Care act is a sick joke that leaves millions of children without coverage. The ACA is nothing but a gift to the health insurance corporations who act as gatekeepers and hostage takers between Americans and their medical providers. How could you support something like that?

Peter: Joe Biden gets the best healthcare, paid for with my tax money. And he has the nerve to say he'll veto Medicare for All if it ever got to his desk. That's not leadership, Martha. That's a sociopath. And the health insurance industry is giving him all sorts of campaign donations as a reward. Doesn't that bother you? Has it ever occurred to you that you are working for a candidate that is part of a two-party charade?

Peter: Not to mention Joe Biden's clear intention to attack Venezuela and Syria? What did the people of those countries ever do to you? The children of those countries?

Martha: Thanks for your time. Have a good day!

Peter: I hope you think about this. Particularly if you have children. Because our time is up in 2027. https://climateclock.world/

Take care.
