I do believe the biggest impact would come from regulating large companies and billionaires, but it’s not one or the other.

In the US, neither party is serious about stopping climate change. They are both controlled by big oil, big car, etc.

I agree the the democrats are not nearly serious enough about stopping climate change, but the republican party is actively hindering efforts and definitely worse for the plant in the long run.
Neither party being serious does not mean one isn’t way worse than the other

You still need to hold the Dems feet to the fire. Just handing them your vote as the least worst option just means you’ll never be offered any good options. Make them work for it.

And what do you mean by that? What specific actions are you talking about?

There is ideological diversity within the democratic party, especially at the local level. As part of a representative democracy, the electorate needs to be engaged with their representatives. You should start looking closely at your most local representatives.
