    The Democrats position makes no sense if you think of them as an independent party trying to win vs the Republicans, but makes perfect sense if you think of them of the branch of the US political establishment meant to suppress leftist organization:

    But there’s no hard evidence that discussing climate change hurts Democrats in elections, Mildenberger and other experts told Grist. If anything, it rewards candidates with a modest boost among voters, studies and surveys show.

      Here we are bickering about AIPAC buying our politicians but its more of a time share with big oil, big ag, and wallstreet.

    Once again.

    Dems to strategists 6 months ago: ONLY TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMY

    I actually agree at this juncture.

    Now: “Democrats aren’t talking about anything other than the economy”

    Well, yeah, that’s the point tho. For once they’re actually on message.

    When people understand that the Democrats are not our friends and take the same corporate PAC money as the Republicans, we might start seeing change in this country.

      I feel like what we need for people to understand this is for non-politicians to start running for election.

      I don’t know how that gets fixed when everyone who understands what’s happening is being crushed by what’s happening.

    Unless something catastrophic happens with the climate, the economy will always be the top issue because people have to eat. Presently, immigration, the war with Iran, danger to democracy, and climate change will be next in that order.
