“We don’t stand for anything, but republicans are terrible” has been a losing strategy every single time it’s been deployed.
The public is heavily slanted in favor of democrats, but Trump has made it crystal clear that he’s going to cheat. A Democratic win requires an undeniable landslide. Ignoring real problems will not generate the transformational turnout needed to overcome blatant election fraud.
The problem is that the mainstream Democrats do stand for something - corporations. And that's why they never get enough people out to vote.
Ask Chuck Schumer what his job is.
That's a question for the Baileys really
The problem is that they can't just talk about climate problems they need to take action. And since the Democratic party isn't going to support mass-executions of industry executives and billionaires, they'd have to talk about incremental changes. I'm not sure how they sell something like "we forecast that these new regulations will result in a 1 degree average temperature reduction over the next 4 years" (which would be huge). And that's imagining that the party as a whole is able to agree on something hard enough to shove it past the Republicans.
We aren't going to just talk about it now ok!?
I was just appointed Tsar of Climate and we are going to make a whitepaper on it.

and then I will wipe it on my bum
Expecting the Democrats to do anything that helps us is a fool’s errand. Can’t wait for them to write a strongly-worded letter when Trump inevitably tries to take a third term.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
