Wow, what a fucking shocker - the DCCC is fundamentally out of step with understanding public sentiment once again. 🙄

These god damn spineless Democrats should be voted out immediately!

So this article has two sources, neither or which were readable on my device because of paywall or such.

Is there any actual stats on how often the DNC talk about climate change?

Even if you think they should talk more, their policy platform has very demonstably, through actions louder than words, been about green power, phasing out gas and coal, and empowering the EPA.

EDIT: Thanks to a source provided by another commenter we can see the number of mentions largely haven't changed by either party in over a decade. LINK HERE

So, neglecting the environment, that thing that we need to stay alive...that could backfire? Ya don't say.

It may not be a priority for Democratic voters, but it is a priority for the majority of voters.

If you want to win votes and save lives, policy to mitigate the climate catastrophe better be in your top 5 priorities

Not talking about it much before the election doesn't mean not taking action after. It's stupid but fight over policy comes after the election in the flawed democracy that the US are.

Covering up a core issue to appease dyed-in-the-wool right-wing voters is a centrist strategy that will fail. At this point, only the minority of hardcore MAGA are going to continue to vote for MAGA candidates. Those MAGA voters also tend to be climate change deniers.

70% of Americans believe climate change is a pressing issue.

There’s enough voters on the left to defeat the right, you just have to get them to vote. Progressive policies are popular on the left, and when you don’t put them at the front of your campaign, you’re not going to motivate all potential voters to vote, or they’ll vote third-party.

The Dems need to stop being pussies and instead proudly be leftists that don’t back down from a fight.

The Colorado River is running dry.

By the end of this century there will be so much CO2 in the air that human cognition will be negatively affected indoors.

The average global warming rate has accelerated from 0.2 C per decade to 0.35 C in the last 10 years.

The cost of living will not matter if there is no life.

JFC. When are Democrats going to realize that they need to stand for something? They are just constantly too afraid to advocate for a point of view. Stop with the consultant-brained 5 dimensional chess bullshit and just make an argument. Persuade people of the merit of your worldview. In other words, lead.

A mistake? It's a fucking catastrophe having neither of the two major shitass political parties discussing THE most prevalent issue of the century.

It's beyond despicable the state the world has been allowed to devolve into ... all for the profits of a handful of some self-entitled creatures once thought human.

I grew up on Cleveland (left 20+ years ago), and not once in my life did we ever have trouble from Canadian wildfires. It's wet up there, how does stuff even burn, but now it does.

Obviously, things are changing and getting worse. I just read that we have been judging Climate Change based on the lowest C02 level estimates back in the 70s. Now we know that throughout all those years, we should have been using the HIGHEST estimates to measure, and that means that things have advanced twice as far as we have actually thought.

It's hot as Hell out there, the weather is getting more insane in a daily basis, and it gets noticeably worse every year.

But don't talk about it.

Feel like it's real relevant in Washington State this week.

Yes, the DNC was a mistake.

Is it bc their donors like polluting our planet?

Bc real human beings want actual progress.

“We don’t stand for anything, but republicans are terrible” has been a losing strategy every single time it’s been deployed.

The public is heavily slanted in favor of democrats, but Trump has made it crystal clear that he’s going to cheat. A Democratic win requires an undeniable landslide. Ignoring real problems will not generate the transformational turnout needed to overcome blatant election fraud.

The problem is that they can't just talk about climate problems they need to take action. And since the Democratic party isn't going to support mass-executions of industry executives and billionaires, they'd have to talk about incremental changes. I'm not sure how they sell something like "we forecast that these new regulations will result in a 1 degree average temperature reduction over the next 4 years" (which would be huge). And that's imagining that the party as a whole is able to agree on something hard enough to shove it past the Republicans.

Expecting the Democrats to do anything that helps us is a fool’s errand. Can’t wait for them to write a strongly-worded letter when Trump inevitably tries to take a third term.
