Gov. Jay Inslee (D-WA) is challenging his Democratic rivals to a “Climate Change Only” Primary debate. Although Inslee is not my first choice for nominee, his commitment as a climate hawk is the reason why he’s the only white male among my top choices. I think this is a wonderful idea. I plan on urging my top 3 choices (Warren, Harris, Castro) to accept this challenge. I urge all DKos folk to support this and to urge our particular favorite in the field to support this debate. Sadly, Climate Change was nearly absent as an issue in 2016—and I am certain that contributed to Trump’s victory. We need this to be a HUGE part of 2020 in both the primary and general.
On this issue, we need to have Inslee’s back—whether or not we want him to be our nominee.
