Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

They’re pretty clear about what they’re asking the DNC to do. It’s in the first paragraph of the article.
Before the election, people were told not to protest so the DNC wouldn’t lose power. Is there any time when are people allowed to tell their leaders that the party has lost its way?
Of course not.
Maybe immediately before the election isn't the best time; but the ~3-3.5years prior to that where they are in power and actually able to effect change seems like a great time to loudly ensure they know what their constituents want.
As a third party observer; I've heard/seen lots of news about Republicans, what the party is doing, what the public wants, etc.
Democrats on the other hand; I see plenty about what the party is actively doing, but far less about what the public wants from them. There's certainly some; but there's just so much less volume that it's often drown out by the Republicans.
Make yourselves heard and do it when it really matters. Now you're at a severe disadvantage and honestly you'll be lucky if you get another chance without another civil war.
Congratulations on missing the simple fact that every protest and campaign against America or Imperialism world-wide for decades has been as squarely aimed at the Democrats as much so as the Republicans. This goes doubly so for US domestic protests.
The US people and people worldwide have been very clear about we want. Stop apologizing for the manchurian party from behind your "third party observer" bullshit.
I'm not apologizing for anyone, I'm just telling you what I see; and that's democrats constantly being drowned out by loud republicans so much so that you now have a fascist dictator and his nazi boyfriend sitting comfortably in the highest office in the land, dismantling your democracy from within and almost nothing standing in their way.
Dems being drowned out by Republicans is the whole point of the DNC; Its their goal. Leftists have been anything but quiet about the fact that that is our problem.
