Take a look at this... Remarkable "warmth" last month across both polar regions when visualizing temperature departures by latitude. The x-axis is quite stretched out here compared to my usual monthly update of this graphic.

Seriously listen to this. This is it. This is the message, this is the tone, this is it! Why aren't all Dems talking like this? Why aren't they clearly articulating & defending their values? Why isn't AOC being celebrated & elevated by the people who claim to want to hear this stuff from Dems?
