Re: [DK GreenRoots] Re: Time for serious discussion / push back

If anyone wants to express outrage, Markos engaged on Twitter but not at Daily Kos:


Shameful.

Yes thanks much for pointing this out, Adam.  I hadn't been on dkos at all today or this evening until I finally finished everything else I needed to do and checked my email and saw this.  I've now dropped in a couple of comments.

Sheesh.

Yet again, the Dailykos candidate questionaire makes environmental issues an 'oh by the way'.  I cannot imagine how anyone on this list can donate a penny via a path that tells candidates that energy/environmental issues are not Tier 1 items.



amazing..President Obama has climate change (2+ / 0-)

listed on his top 5 agenda, but DK does not see as important issue for candidates? First Nation communities in Canada are getting sick and dying for years now from tar sands....and now 53 senators support XL pipeline. no problem. NIMBY. fossil fuels are sickening and killing thousands in US each year. but not an important issue for DK.

We are accustomed to all-but-three fp'ers ignoring our climate change and environmental blogathons .... even when we have top Democrat to ever post at DK, Former Vice-President Al Gore, or top environmental leaders, like Van Jones.

BUT to leave out climate change in your  -- that is, OUR -- candidates' questionnaire? Does everyone here got some secret plan to address the #1 issue facing people, wildlife and natural resources...ahem our planet...that we don't know about?

So you downgrade environmental issues to something to "take into consideration?"

For instance, if a given candidate answered our questions with flying colors but has a bad record on, say, environmental issues or reproductive freedom, that is something we would most definitely take into consideration.

Have to say ... (0+ / 0-)

that I cannot donate via this path -- again -- since climate change, other environmental issues, and energy do not appear here in anyway, shape, or form.

No, it is not acceptable that these remain 'oh by the way' topics.  These are core and by not even bothering to ask about them, you are telling prospective candidates that these issues are secondary/don't matter.
