Let's HAVE that debate! uawchild Jun 2019 #1

This was stupid of DNC. Maybe a letter campaign. Karadeniz Jun 2019 #2

Hold a climate change debate! appalachiablue Jun 2019 #3

I agree! Turin_C3PO Jun 2019 #4

My teenage son is a Biden supporter. 2020 will be the first time he gets to vote. Princetonian Jun 2019 #5

It is an important issue to many young people. They're going to be the ones who will suffer. pnwmom Jun 2019 #8

So .. if there is no climate change debate LibFarmer Jun 2019 #26

Without a climate change focus from the Democrats, some percent of people may vote GREEN pnwmom Jun 2019 #27

Whoever the nominee is, he/she will have climate change LibFarmer Jun 2019 #30

There is a wide variation in Democrats proposed plans for dealing with climate change. pnwmom Jun 2019 #32

So what? LibFarmer Jun 2019 #34

You're wrong. Dealing with climate change is a life-and-death struggle for the planet, pnwmom Jun 2019 #36

What has that got to do with the primaries? LibFarmer Jun 2019 #37

It should be the leading issue in the primaries for the same reason it should be the leading issue pnwmom Jun 2019 #38

We'll, Biden supports a debate too. BlueWI Jun 2019 #61

The life and death struggle is about keeping us from a Third World War and how to deal with emmaverybo Jun 2019 #43

My sons who are in their twenties say we need bold change to win. yardwork Jun 2019 #49

Any democratic candidate in any debate can talk climate change. GulfCoast66 Jun 2019 #6

Why should the other things be off limits? It's part of THAT version of a climate change plan. nt pnwmom Jun 2019 #7

So you really want a debate on the Green New Deal? GulfCoast66 Jun 2019 #9

The Green New deal vs. the other plans people have for addressing climate change. pnwmom Jun 2019 #10

debates don't give enough time to do that JI7 Jun 2019 #13

That's funny. They're saying the topic of climate change can be squeezed in on a debate pnwmom Jun 2019 #14

yes, debates usually aren't the place to actually get into details . JI7 Jun 2019 #15

When have we ever before had a 10 year window to make the changes needed pnwmom Jun 2019 #17

this is why something like a town hall would be a better place JI7 Jun 2019 #18

In a debate about climate change plans, they could focus on the issue and get into the details. n/t pnwmom Jun 2019 #21

Climate Change town hall yes...a whole debate...no Indygram Jun 2019 #11

Your candidate has a detailed plan. Why wouldn't you want him to have time to present pnwmom Jun 2019 #16

he wont have time to present and discuss it in a debate JI7 Jun 2019 #19

Sure he would. And there is no other issue more important to debate. nt pnwmom Jun 2019 #20

I don't agree. Russia, China, Wikileaks, voting suppresion, womens rights, corrupt republicans. GemDigger Jun 2019 #39

young people can get behind Jay Inslee and actually do something to help him win the election JI7 Jun 2019 #12

Debate rules will start to consider what young people want... GulfCoast66 Jun 2019 #22

Young people DID show up in the midterms. Turin_C3PO Jun 2019 #23

No, they really did not. GulfCoast66 Jun 2019 #24

I agree, I'm just saying it is possible to increase youth turnout. Turin_C3PO Jun 2019 #25

my point is that those who claim to be so concerned should support Jay Inslee JI7 Jun 2019 #28

True. Turin_C3PO Jun 2019 #29

If you support Jay Inslee then you should support his call for a real debate on climate change. pnwmom Jun 2019 #33

debates are 5 minutes squeezed here and there with mostly gotcha type stuff to bring down JI7 Jun 2019 #40

It wouldn't have to be if the 60-90 minutes was devoted to plans for addressing climate change. pnwmom Jun 2019 #41

there are over 20 candidates. that's less than 3 minutes for each candidate JI7 Jun 2019 #42

There are not 20 candidates on the same night. They'll be divided over two nights for each debate. pnwmom Jun 2019 #44

that's why i recommend Town Halls where they can actually talk about the issue JI7 Jun 2019 #45

How would 10 candidates be any better able to address the topic in a Town Hall? pnwmom Jun 2019 #46

The young will show up or they won't. GulfCoast66 Jun 2019 #35

a climate change debate can fire voters up Hermit-The-Prog Jun 2019 #47

if they care about climate change that much they should already be supporting Inslee JI7 Jun 2019 #48

Wrong. Until the debates, many people don't start choosing among candidates. n/t pnwmom Jun 2019 #54

I think of the two parties, we are concerned about climate change. wasupaloopa Jun 2019 #31

I 100% agree that Climate Change should be a leading issue, but it isn't. marylandblue Jun 2019 #50

I think all the candidates are on the same side of Climate Change ! stonecutter357 Jun 2019 #51

Which of the Democratic primary candidates do not care about climate change? MineralMan Jun 2019 #52

That isn't the issue. Their plans vary widely. Your question is like saying, pnwmom Jun 2019 #53

That's going to be up to each candidate to present. MineralMan Jun 2019 #56

The reason there wouldn't be time is because it would be presented as one of "dozens" of issues pnwmom Jun 2019 #57

As far as I know, only one candidate is asking for a single-topic debate, MineralMan Jun 2019 #58

Sanders has backed the idea of a debate devoted to climate change. So has Warren, pnwmom Jun 2019 #59

Agreed. Candidates need to take charge of this. aikoaiko Jun 2019 #55

Oh sure another forum will draw them to the poll in droves BannonsLiver Jun 2019 #60
