"How Democrats and Republicans Stack Up on Food, Water, and Climate..."

...from the attached article...Note that Dems have Always fought for Competition...the bedrock of Capitalism...with strong DOJ Anti-Trust Legislation and Enforcement...that's easily verified in case you have any question about it. The GOP right now is all about creating a Plutocracy/Autocracy...you don't want that.
-----------------
Supporting Workers, Farmers, and Families Over Big Ag

We can trace many of the problems in our food system — from unaffordable groceries to dangerous pollution — to Big Ag’s power.

Over the past few years, though, the Biden-Harris administration has tackled this power and fought for farmers, food workers, and families. Along with confronting corporate price gouging, it has promoted more competition across the food sector. This will mean corporations will have to compete to earn our business, rather than racking up the benefits of being the only option in town.

This is good news for farmers, too. Democrats have pledged to advance Biden-Harris policies that are supporting independent meat and processors as counterweights to the meat giants and making markets fairer and more transparent. They’re promising to tackle corporations’ unfair business practices that have even taken away farmers’ right to repair their own equipment.

The party is also focused on improving conditions for workers. It will advance labor rights, like the right to organize a union, and pass new protections against hazards like extreme heat and toxic pesticides.

We will work to push a Harris-Walz administration to defend the Biden-Harris regulations reining in Big Ag. We’ll also push them to stop more mega-mergers and break up the companies that dominate our food system. This will help lower food prices for families and raise incomes for farmers.

The Democrats have laid out a vision of a food system that is more sustainable, resilient, and fair; one that will help Rural America thrive. Meanwhile, the Republican Party platform doesn’t mention rural communities once, completely ignoring the needs of large swaths of the country. Its plans for deregulation will threaten food and worker safety. It also fails to acknowledge Big Ag’s power, signaling little hope for progress on holding the industry accountable.

-------------------

Have you Ever seen such statements from the GOP...much less, Trump?...of course not. You don't have to turn into a Liberal...just do what you can (e.g. Email your Representative/Senators) to see that Trumpism and Corporate Greed are no longer operative terms.

As for RFK Jr...we don't need "Basket Cases" running (ruining) our Health Care System. Democrats fight for our Environment, including Air, Water and Soil...you know this. Work with Dems...not Reps...if you want to see Progress in that arena.
