Activists slam DNC over lack of debate focused on climate change

Environmental groups and other liberal activists renewed their attacks on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Friday for not committing to sponsor a primary debate focused exclusively on climate change.

The activists’ ire was rekindled after the DNC released a messaging resolution on Friday titled “Resolution Recommitting the Democratic Party to the Work of Combating Climate Change and Creating Jobs by Growing our Clean Energy Economy.”

The document contains widely popular language within the party, including labeling climate change as a “present, urgent, and growing threat,” and bashes President Trump and other Republican lawmakers for rolling back a slate of environmental protection regulations.

However, to the consternation of some activists, it did not include a commitment to hold a climate change-specific debate.

Especially right now when we have so many challenges thanks to tRump. Yes, climate and the environment are extremely important, but so are guns, education, infrastructure, etc. etc.

If they actually cared or knew anything about this issue they would see there is a candidate who is as perfect as can be on this issue.

debates these days after not about being informed. the info including candidates records are out there.
