The Sunrise Movement, a progressive, youth-led climate group, is calling on President Biden to step aside from the 2024 race after his abysmal debate performance spurred Democratic anxiety about his ability to beat former President Trump.
“To young people: losing this election could alter the rest of our lives,” Sunrise Movement Executive Director Aru Shiney-Ajay said in a written statement.
“Joe Biden’s next climate legacy-defining act must be to pass the torch to a new nominee,” Shiney-Ajay added.
The statement appears to make Sunrise the first major climate or environmental advocacy group to publicly call for Biden to step down.
It also represents a rare break from some of the group’s top political allies, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), both of whom are backing Biden despite calls from other Democrats for him to drop out.
More than a dozen Democratic members of Congress have publicly called on Biden to withdraw from the race.
The Sunrise Movement has been withholding a formal endorsement from Biden. While the group has backed a number of the president’s climate policies, it has said he should go even further, including by declaring a national climate emergency.

Obvious senility should make Biden more likely to endorse the Green Blob.
That’s the plan B option. Plan A is to assassinate Trump. They almost succeded.
According to reporter Tom Winter on NBC spinning like a whirling dervish the motive of the shooter may have been that Trump was ‘not conservative enough’ , that’s right Donald Trump (aka Hitler) was not right-wing enough as if the obvious obverse could not possibly be a motive, according to Tom.
Not right wing enough to a Biden and Act Blue donor? That’s quite a spin.
I think it was always going to be the case that media quickly painted him as a problem of the Right not the Left.
Especially since to say the latter might implicate the media themselves. Calling someone Hitler for the best part of decade and the current President calling for people to “put a target on Trump” a couple of days beforehand had nothing to do with it in their universe.
The questions I would like somebody to ask the CIA is “how often do you really prevent/discourage a nutter but nobody gets to know?”
When Kennedy was assassinated a lot of regular CIA security measures had gone suddenly and unusually absent, even if one believes the mainstream story about LH Oswald. The CIA, and others, have improved their plausible deniability since 1963.
Yet the shooter donated to a group whose goal is to elect Democrat candidates.
True, he registered as a Republican but that’s not unusual so as to be able to vote in the “other” party’s primary for someone who they think their real party’s candidate can beat.
(Or, worst case, if their preferred loses in the real election then maybe the winner won’t be as bad as the one they voted against in the primary.)
Possibly this was Plan A version 2. According to this Nov 2020 American Thinker article, the Sunrise Movement’s Plan A v.1 was to stage a coup if Trump won.

The American left is a mishmash of truly insane leftist/communist groups all competing for attention from the party apparatus/deep state, which is Fabian Socialist.
It would be so funny to watch if the stakes for survival weren’t so high.
I should also add that each and every one of these leftist groups are literal absolute useful idiots to the Fabian controllers. They have utility right up until the point they do not.
Throw in a little Alinsky, Cloward-Piven and Antifa to boot.
The ‘sunrise’, then the sun set. Hopefully their days of extreme advocacy are equally numbered.
Did all 17 members of the Sunrise Movement agree?
“The Sunrise Movement, a progressive, youth-led climate group,…..”
I’ve posted about this in the past, and I’ll do it again here.
Today’s climate scare activists have something in common with the Nazis in WWII Germany. Both of them were/are aware of how malleable the young mind is as it is growing and developing. We had the Hitler Youth Movement in Nazi Germany and we have the Sunrise Movement today.
It is (and always was) all too easy to recruit young people and organize them into a movement to service your cause. They can be made to believe whatever you want if you sound convincing enough. In history as today, I find it repulsive to see young people being manipulated for such a purpose.
Hitler Youth march through Nurnberg, 1930s…..
Absolutely!
That is the first thing anybody should say when children are used and abused for politics!
These are children armies and their lives are stolen right now!
For every Thunberg getting rich there are 1000 children loosing their future, some maybe even promising minds who might have even swung the debate in their favor if they only had gotten their college degree and learned how to do science, analyze facts, speak, write, act …
properly.
It’s all the senior Democrat cabal’s own making with their Watergate coverup of Biden’s senility and their virtue signalling DEI deputy pick aided and abetted by the lamestream lickspittle media and their feigned shock at elder abuse now. There is no rational alternative Democrat candidate prepared to pick up their poison chalice now and they’re all ducking for cover.
What a photo of Donald and the flag eh woked up lefties?
To young people: People who tell you what to think are not your friends.
Aru Shiney-Ajay has one life to live and it is not yours. For him to talk about “our lives” is the height of hubris, as if he is in charge of your life.
Wise up. People who want to lower your standard of living are also not your friends.
Aru is a she, I think.
Sunrise Movement is linked to AOC and the Green Bad Deal..
… also linked to Ed Markey’s” Civilian Green Corpse”
Sierra Club gives them free office space in the Sierra Club building.
Funding comes from far-left “non-profits {lol}” like Grove and Tides.
Yes, you are correct. The hyphenated last name should have been a tip off.
““To young people: losing this election could alter the rest of our lives,” “
Yes, If Trump wins, your futures will not be destroyed on the altar of virtue-seeking and fake climate science.
“To young people: losing this election could alter the rest of our lives,”To ALL people:
No mater who takes power; this election WILL alter the rest of YOUR lives,
Zealots & Bigots on both left & right; and the gap is widening …
We live in interesting times.
Trump is very much “centrist”.
He is not a zealot.. he is a realist.
Yes, the gap is widening between leftist fantasy and depravity… and reality.
Both sides have unpleasant characters but there is more common sense on the right- at least at this point in time, not necessarily true always in the past. They take turns when it comes to bad politics- which is why our 2 party system is a good one.
Come on Metoo gals and dump the old white guy. Kamala for Pres and Occasional Cortex for deputy and strike a blow for the womanhood.
How do you know if either the cackleberry or zero cortex are “women” ?
Strike a blow for the victimhood it is then
It doesn’t take long for the internet to ask the hard questions and watch for the lady in black trying to holster her gun-

“To young people: losing this election could alter the rest of our lives,” Sunrise Movement Executive Director Aru Shiney-Ajay said in a written statement.
That is absolutely right. You might have to get a real job and do something constructive for society instead of protesting for a pointless cause. You might even have to pay for your education, too!
Now that is a scary though for so many that chose “underwater basket weaving” as their major in college.
C’mon man….Joey just wants to serve you…….he’s a millionaire who could be retired but he’s just gotta keep on servin’…..gotta save you from those existential terrifyin’ nazis….and he wants your guns….he’s guarded free of charge by people carryin’ automatic weapons….but you don’t need no stinkin’ guns
That should let these nuts know in a nutshell what their dear leaders (AOC & Bernie) think of their cause. Climate doom is only a means to an end. It’s faux crisis for scaring the sheep. It is only important for holding on to power.
