Activists walked out of the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting in San Francisco after the organization voted against allowing a climate change debate during the 2020 primary.

DNC Chair Tom Perez imposed strict rules on the debates, which prevented a climate change debate from occurring. Climate activists had forced a vote, hoping to overrule the party boss.

“The Democratic Party needs the energy, motivation, and organizing capacity of young people to defeat Trump in 2020. But Tom Perez keeps shooting the party in the foot by rejecting that energy and turning it away,” the Sunrise Movement said in a statement.

9. This is so stupid

Such an aggressive and potentially damaging attack that will help Tump more than anything else, over a primary debate. A debate on climate would only serve to manufacture the appearance of more division on a topic that actually has a relative general consensus. If we're going to have single-issue debates, there are other topics that make more sense. This is so damn stupid.
