The DNC decided two months ago that they were no longer going to accept money from fossil
fuel companies.
This was a phenomenal move by the democratic party.
You know, we're not gonna take money from these corporations that are profiting off
of the destruction of the planet.
But like a smoker who just can't seem to kick the habit, two months after making this decision,
Tom Perez, the chairman of the democratic party this past Friday introduced a resolution
to go ahead and start taking that fossil fuel money back again because they just can't handle
the withdrawal symptoms of it.
And it overwhelmingly passed.
So hey, once again the democratic party is taking money from fossil fuel companies that
are absolutely decimating the planet.
So you had a good two month run there where you weren't taking any of their money.
But I guess now you saw hey, there's midterms coming up, and there's money to be made for
the party, and I wanna get my hands on it, I don't wanna leave anybody out.
Now the official reasoning of Tom Perez and those establishments over at the DNC was that
hey, we wanna just make sure that the employees of fossil fuel companies can still give to
the democratic party.
Because it wasn't fair to exclude them from it, so we wanna make sure that these men and
women who work there, they're not part of the problem, it's just their job, so they
should still be able to give us money.
Yeah, here's the thing.
The original draft of the resolution that was passed banning the money, it actually
still allowed the employees to give money.
So not only are they lying about their reasoning for doing this, but they're actually doing
it.
The democratic party as an establishment, as a thing, is getting closer and closer to
becoming the republican party.
And we saw that in 2016 when the democratic party decided to adopt their platform ahead
of the election.
They refused to say that they support a ban on fracking, even though they understand that
a good portion of this country, and a large majority of people within their party supported
bans on fracking.
It is incredibly dangerous, it is incredibly polluting, and it's also been linked to an
increase in the frequency of earthquakes throughout the United States.
This party didn't even have the courage to stand up and say we don't even like that particular
form of energy extraction.
And now, as what they're calling part of their all of the above energy approach, they're
once again taking money from the fossil fuel companies.
Here's the thing, there's no such thing as an all of the above energy approach, doesn't
work, doesn't exist.
No only country is saying, "Well let's drill more.
How 'bout we burn more coal?
How 'bout we frack more?
How 'bout we not invest in renewable energy?"
Please understand this is a uniquely American thing right now.
Europe, Asia, yeah they're still consuming fossil fuels, but they're at least attempting
to switch over to renewables.
Some countries have already exceeded the goals that they had set for themselves with the
Paris Climate Accord.
But here in the United States we have one party, the republicans that deny that climate
change exists.
And now we have another party that says, "Yes, it exists.
Yes the fossil fuel companies are responsible or it.
And yeah, we're sure as hell gonna take their money because we're a party of idiots."
It's not a party of idiots, but at this point it is a party being run by idiots.
That is what Tom Perez is, that is what the higher ups at the DNC who voted to accept
fossil fuel money are.
And anyone who tells you otherwise, is trying to sell you something.
