Today the New York Times ran a 12-page special section entitled “This is our reality now.” It detailed the increases in air pollution and water pollution. It looked at the weakening of rules on methane releases, on endangered species, on pesticides and chemical emissions. On the last page it printed a list of 47 environmental rollbacks completed and 31 in process.
Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate for President, received more votes in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin than the margin by which Clinton lost to Trump. Green Party voters thought Clinton wasn’t enough of an environmentalist.
I am asking you: How many of those rollbacks do you think would be happening if Clinton were President?
Jill Stein was a spoiler. Remember that she met with Russian officials before the election. Do you think the Russians thought she would win? She was a dupe who lent her name and her party to defeating Hillary Clinton, and now we, our children, and the planet are suffering the consequences.
