Thank you for this article. I run with a mid-20s, politically independent, and strongly pro-environment social group most of the time. Some are fellow race realists, some are not. We're neither right nor left; both groups have sold us out before and we feel sustainability should be a common cause regardless of affiliation. Fun facts: after Sanders was ousted, most of them spurned the Democratic party. I didn't know one person with environmental tendencies who trusted Clinton, even those few who voted for her. The Democratic environmental platform was almost nonexistent and her trade policies would have caused further pollution by allowing even more of our manufacturing to occur in unregulated foreign factories. Most of use believe in reducing our impact on the earth by supporting local economy and keeping production here so it can be done right. The Green party and even the Libertarians at least tried to put some environmental bit out there. Though even the Green party managed to turn me and several others away this year with their suggestions of borderless mass migration and the unspeakable idea that we should consolidate all of America into several giant cities to leave our wild lands untouched and unenjoyed.
