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.
These god damn spineless Democrats should be voted out immediately!
Quite a few states have not had their primary yet. Lots of opportunities to pick a different Democrat
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
The DNC, no. There isn’t even a public membership list.
There are statistics for elected Democrats in Congress though. And they really did largely stop talking about climate.
So your article source is the same as the second source in the article in the post.
EDIT: No, sorry, my mistake, it just attempts to reproduce the data. Good source.
Looking at the raw files it appears they mentioned it a fuckload of times, though.
The amount has dropped a lot though
According to the data in the link, it was averaging 3 digits in 2021, almost a third of the current rate.
Are you looking at absolute numbers or at fraction of press releases? Because there is a big difference between the two
So, neglecting the environment, that thing that we need to stay alive…that could backfire? Ya don’t say.
Wow, what a fucking shocker - the DCCC is fundamentally out of step with understanding public sentiment once again. 🙄
