The thing you need to understand about Millenials and younger folks is there has never been an American politician with realistic or even appealing ideas for our entire adult lives. But everyone older than us has been telling us we're "unrealistic" for expecting actual solutions rather than more procedural delays in the face of climate collapse.
The "unrealistic option" is and always has been to keep doing the same shit and expecting the world to not continue falling apart.

My whole childhood it was like "wow these kids today are learning so much with computers! They'll lead us into a brand new society!" and then as soon as we started actually doing that in the Occupy Era everyone was like "Whoa now, this is pretty utopian."
Like the only utopianism I see here is the attitude that capitalism will meaningfully reform itself, you fucks.
