This just may be the dumbest thing I’ve heard today.

If people want this to be acted on, then Dems need to win.

Oh, absolutely.

Both to campaign on and to act on, unfortunately.

I think there’s a big difference between them making the small (but good) progress with legislation they’ve done this term compared to making climate a part of their campaign and bringing it up all the time. Idiots on the right will attack opponents on anything, but currently, I imagine most of the population is put off by the “she’s gonna ban ur meat and stove!!1” weirdos. Sometimes not engaging is the most effective way to keep bad arguments out of the public sphere.

Plus, there’s so much disinformation from the other side that you’re apt to lose voters that consume any amount of that crap.

If something doesn’t energize your base and it makes you lose votes from outside your base, it’s a net loss to campaign on. It seems that climate change is currently one of those issues.

Weird. You’d think that’s show up in her voting record when she was a US Senator.

Based on her votes, she was one of the most progressive in the Senate.
