TYT Hope to Raise $100k to Host a Candidate Climate Town Hall

[HiloHatti]

I know there are detractors here of The Young Turks, and I prefer this thread not be used to trash them for the upteenth time. They are offering to step in where the DNC has announced its unwillingness, and host a Climate Change Town Hall for any of the Democratic candidates that are willing to participate. They have indicated they would use mainstream hosts. They have raised over $15,000 in the first 30 minutes trying to get to $100,000.
With the current Administration denying climate change and events such as the Amazon burning out-of-control, and each month new records set for the warmest in history, Climate Change should have an exclusive fourm and be the topic on its own
We need to have each candidate set out each of their own climate policy, so we the voters can judge who we think would be the most effective in dealing with trying to save the Planet.

1. There are already two televised climate change town halls scheduled by the DNC.

The announcement was made a month ago.

2. Congress will make climate change law not

Presidential candidates.

Have a congressional town hall and not a climate food fight.

Bernie says anything even though it will never happen.

Why should Biden come up with a realistic plan and be judged against Bernie’s fantasy plans?

4. Fuck them and their "but her emails" bullshit. They helped get us Trump.

So fuck them. For reals.

7. I'll second that

5. Too bad they want to use "mainstream hosts" -- does that mean questions that don't offend

corporate interests?

I'm in favor of them holding the climate town hall if it is run independent of mainstream/corporate media
