Is Climate Change a Democratic priority? [View all]

I do not mean to suggest at all that it makes no difference who is elected in November. I will be voting for Hillary Clinton, and I trust we all will. However…

As a loyal Democrat, I recently received a fundraising letter survey from the DCCC Nancy Pelosi, asking about Democratic priorities. There was one question, which asked how serious I thought Climate Change was (essentially, I could choose between a “skeptical” position, or a scientific position.) However, another question gave me a list of about 10 possible legislative priorities, and I was supposed to choose the 3 most important, and rank them in order. The usual suspects were there, preserving Medicare, saving Social Security, immigration, childcare, healthcare, jobs… Climate Change wasn’t anywhere on the list!

I find this disturbing.
