Environmental activists urge Kamala Harris to go big on climate: ‘She’s got to seize the moment’
With the largest US fossil fuel lobby group at the Democratic convention, some urge VP to prioritize crisis in her speech

She doesn't want to.
She does not want to talk about it. However she has actually a pretty good record of supporting climate action like sponsoring the Green New Deal, which she mostly got passed in form of the inflation reduction act. Action is worth so much more then words.
The reason she does not want to do it, is that it is better to run on women's rights and workers rights. Trump has an awful record on it as well and a lot more people care about it.
Do you also want to score her some points by claiming that she’s pro-Single Payer because she made the strategic decision to sponsor Bernie’s bill when she and her handlers were 100% positive that it wouldn’t pass?
These corrupt Democrats have been ignoring their constituents for decades and you want to pretend that we should give them the benefit of the doubt.
“I know she has never even run for office with anything even remotely resembling Single Payer on her platform but let’s pretend that she was just being shy and she doesn’t need to even though it would allow her to easily score points with constituents and coast into office.”
an average 79% of Democrats since 2001 have asserted the government’s obligation to ensure healthcare for all in the U.S
I’m guessing your 401K is invested in everything you are against.
Agreed. The unfortunate conclusion here is they think that many people (particularly voters they feel are critical to this election) don't actually care about the climate. They're probably right too. So while the DNC platform is clear on their stance, they don't see it as a winning issue from a campaign perspective. Frankly that's not the worst outcome, I care more about action than campaign slogans. They need to win in order to do anything.
Who cares?
Politicians can be pushed.
Pathetic really. It’s gonna be another democrat presidency. They’re gonna pat themselves on their backs for defeating fascism and go back to signing arms deals for israel and definitely not annoying any of the origarhs.
Don’t you love being downvoted by deeply unserious people, subject to low information techniques like identity politics that end up being unwitting dupes for actual fascists election cycle after election cycle?
