Thanks to young people

Editor,

Besides the cold, the wind this weekend blew in refreshing hope and intelligent ideas.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s interview on MSNBC warned us that we have only 12 years, if that much, to reverse the result of years of fossil fuel use, terrible practices, and greed that is causing climate change. Only a few years! And she has very good plans to reverse this catastrophe.

Then, Beto gave his rousing campaign speech in El Paso that reminded us that America can be the country of compassion, cooperation, income equality, and respect for all races and immigrants, instead of the greedy cesspool Trump and the Republicans have created.

I don’t know which Democratic candidate I will vote for, but I do know that any one of them is far better and more loving than Trump and his lackeys can ever be. They are infected with hate, arrogance and greed and don’t appear to want to get well.

Thank you to all the Democrats who are running for president and especially to the young people who will help change the world with their commitment, time and energy. We old people did our best, but now it is up to you!
