Been Wondering Who On The DNC Voted Against The Climate Crisis Debate?


If you watched Biden's ghastly performance at the CNN Climate Crisis former last week, you know exactly whey his campaign fought so hard against allowing the DNC to sponsor a Climate debate. Does he even know what the Green New Deal is? It would be hard to say since he seemed so preoccupied with preparing for the big bucks fundraiser he was going to the next day-- a fundraiser filled with fracking interests and oil and gas lobbyists.

People have been asking all week for a list of the DNC members who voted to kill the Climate Crisis debate. We don't know most of these names, although some-- like Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Jaime Harrison--the lobbyist running against Lindsey Graham this cycle-- are well known. Most elected officials were smart enough not to vote or to vote in favor of the debate. Nancy Pelosi, for example, didn't vote. Her daughter Christine Pelosi voted in favor of the debate, so their names aren't on the list. Christine told a group of progressive allies that "Although the result was disappointing the mobilization was incredible. We would not have had the CNN Climate Town Halls had we not pushed for a vote on a Climate Debate starting last spring-- and we have not given up on pushing a series of Platform Debates in 2020 that would of course include climate action, union jobs and just transition. Kudos to Washington State Democratic Party Chair Tina Podlodowski and all the activists who lifted this up. The biggest devil or angel is in the Platform details so let’s keep pushing for comprehensive Inslee-level plans and green campaigns. It was heated and we were outnumbered inside the room but we know the public is ahead of us."

OK, these are the bad guys who backed Perez (and on behalf of the Biden campaign) to vote down the debate. And if it looks like tiny Delaware-- population 967,171-- has more DNC members than any other state, just assume that the fix is already in. Just to give you a taste of who these people are, I spent most of my day figuring out who the As and the Bs (and Zs) are-- and included a few people who I know.

    This is your democrap party. I won't even ask about epiphanies. I know that nobody alive from the neck up even exists any more in this shithole.

    I'm actually relieved that they are not going to hold a climate change debate. I detest being lied to. Such a debate would have been wall-to-wall lying to impress house plants that they care.

    On election day those house plants won't give a shit what anyone ever said **OR DID** on any issue anyway. They'll just do what they always do and vote for whichever corrupt lying whore the DNC rigs the process to promote -- for the money that owns the democraps.

    And anyone who has watched biden lately and is NOT immediately reminded of Reagan in about 1988 (for those of you who are too young: he was obviously suffering profound dementia from Alzheimers), is provably too stupid to be allowed to inflict their votes on the rest of the usa. Sadly, the same justification can be applied to all who voted for $hillbillary.

    I've had enough with "Democratic" Party "Debates". I found I learned more from the commentaries progressive bloggers put together than I did in the four hours I wasted trying to watch them. I just wish I had the means to reward them for their yeoman service.

  5. Am fram, thanks to Dr Afrid who cured me of Fallopian tube blockage and fibroid with his herbal tuber cleanser. My marriage was on the verge of collapsing, because I was unable to bear a child for my husband. Until I came across Dr Afrid's recommendation on line, and I contacted him. And he administered his herbs on me. I now have a child I can call my own. In case you want to contact him for a similar problem, or all other issues, you can reach him through his email:

    5:41 proves that even non-sentient beings are succeptible to reflex actions if only you can hit the correct nerve.

    if you electrically shock a freshly dead pig, it'll still twitch.

    I'd be angry at 6:45's reply, but trolls gotta troll and bots gotta do whatever they do.

    Note (his own words) "reflex action" - ad hominem attack on whoever dares to disagree. He knows nothing about me, but that fails to deter him / her / it.

    right back atcha, 7:28. At least I have ideas and can prove my theses. When you come up with that, we'll discuss.

    Hey, DWT, do you figure the DNC holds votes or something about whether or not to have inconveniently targeted (for their big donors) debates?
    Or do they just poll their donors that stand to be inconvenienced... and demand more to NOT have one?
    If not, who decides this stuff... perez unilaterally?

    I'm asking because you might know.
