The lead up to that punchline was pretty explicit. He is saying that while, in a vacuum, the removal of the EPA is bad. We already needed major organization and class power to save the planet, and the EPA was never going to cut it on its own. So any "leftist" focusing on maintaining or bringing back the EPA is equivalent to libs saying VOTE!
It's amazing how knee-jerk opposition to "vote blue no matter who" Dems has developed into idealist crap about not investing in bettering our conditions if it isn't an explicitly revolutionary program. Might as well just ditch supporting unions while we are at it.
