Well, the 40% are certainly not going be convinced if the "first United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate" flew on his private jet 16 times to places like Martha's Vineyard since January. Can the leaders of climate action actually live up to their own standards?

He is/was one of the main editors of The Intercept. He is the second person listed on https://theintercept.com/about/. There is a wide media censorship on this story. If you think it's just this story, they are also squashing reports on the Philadelphia riots.

"Social democrats" are capitalists. They didn't abandoned capitalism. The current president is an independent who is backed by center-right organizations.

Do you think socialism doesn't have human rights abuses? You name China, a country that backed Cuba. Cuba backed Allende's Chile.

Chile ranks first in Latin America — and 44th among 189 countries — in the United Nations Human Development Index. "The U.N. ranking counts not only economic growth, but also health and education standards."

I would argue store workers have much higher exposure due to thousands of customers touching surfaces throughout the store everyday

What are the odds of a nurse and doctor with full PPE dying from COVID?

Why are nurses and grocery workers working then? How are they less at risk than teachers?

You've done enough. People who have said "All lives matter" on their FB pages have been fired from their jobs this week. This is what counts as "fascism" now.

Twitter has opened a whole can of worms. There are several official state agencies with their propaganda PR arms on Twitter. Will they fact check them too and risk being banned in those countries?

"Democrats are against outright hostility and blatant marginalization of certain classes."
There are tons of YouTube videos on college campuses that prove otherwise.
