Climatechange DNC JayInslee Given all that is going in with climate change, why would the Democrats not have one of their presidential debates focus on the issue so voters can hear how the candidates would address it as president? PR
😫
I don’t support Inslee but that move was shortsighted on the part of the DNC.
morgfair GotDAMN DNC! Global warming is the one issue that concerns me most!
“Until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than what is politically possible, there is no hope. We can’t solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis” — Greta Thunberg dnc tomperez
This is a garbage decision that demonstrates why everyone thinks the DNC is garbage.
Why not?
What's left? Oh yeah abortion. Should be an entertaining debate.
Dear DNC—this is an important issue and should be addressed!
They will be sorry for that decision. It is a major problem and needs to be addressed by anyone who is running for office.
That is a big mistake on DNC’s part.
THE most important issue facing humanity not on the agenda?
prairielaura Bad move DNC . Again
What could possibly be the benefit of stifling debate? Oh, never mind. It’s because Biden would look very bad during that debate. Can’t let that happen.
They’re obviously trying to run interference for the Middle Ground Clown.
Cuz it hoaxed made up by Al Gore and his cronies!
Because it is total bull shit and they dont want to be exposed nationally
What the actual fuck...
Great, and lose the youth and women activist vote. And they have actually been voting, or was the DNC asleep again at the last congressional elections? Probably. Always behind the curve with ten years' back, pre-tech strategizing.
Axis of Oil has too much money and won't donate.
HEY DNC!!!!!!
How are “we” the American population going to stop climate change? China puts more pollution in the air than any other civilized nation (probably combined) Iraq has oil wells burning and scientists can’t figure out how to put out. Way more here then the news spew.
'Governor, which climate model from the past do you think has been the most accurate?'
TheDemocrats You should be ashamed of yourselves. The Democratic party is supposed to be the party that cares about the future. You guys are a joke.
Theyre trying to tamp down the crazy, they know how out of hand it would get on stage.
Big mistake.

DNC Chair Perez on impeachment: “We must continue to gather the facts'DNC Chairman Tom Perez discusses former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the 2016 election interference and where the party should go from here. They need to get enough facts to convince Senate Republicans that impeachment is necessary. Without the Senate, impeachment proceedings will not be successful. What, for 6 more yrs. 2 yrs and $35M later and you're still collecting facts. Democrats wouldn't know a fact if someone was beating them with one and they sure can't tell the truth.
