That won't "send a message" other than "I don't care if it's Trump or Harris." </p><p>Harris's policies arent Climate-perfect but they're BY FAR the best of what's in reach. And she isn't opposing scientific inquiry. She believes in free and fair electons peaceful transfer of power, and government agencies like NOAA, EPA, FEMA, etc.</p><p>Trump is offering anti-science and harsh military action against protestors, and to not leave office voluntarily. He wants to gut, disempower, or privatize NOAA, EPA, FEMA, etc., for the sake of private gain.</p><p>Stein, who cannot win, is offering a pretend option whose practical effect will be to siphon off enough Harris voters that Trump wins, as happened to Hillary in 2016. Stein's send-a-message caprice also pretends that it's OK to wait 4 years to try again, and that Trump winning might even allow free and fair elections ever again in the future, or that meanwhile climate protest would be legal, and not a crime against the Trump/Putin petrostate. A feel-good exercise in pure vanity and its own off-brand climate denial at the expense of human survival.</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Kamala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kamala</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Harris2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Harris2024</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Election2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Election2024</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/USPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPoli</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateEmergency</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateDenial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateDenial</span></a></p>
