Still, even Democratic lawmakers defending tough seats in 2020 said political risks shouldn't deter the presidential hopefuls from giving the Earth’s climate the prime role it deserves.Sign Up “This is the most important issue that we face as a planet and a species right now," said freshman Rep. Sean Casten , who in November flipped a seat that Republicans had held for decades. He added, "If you don’t want to have public debate, this is probably the wrong line of work for you.”
“I think the planet would be better served if we had an honest discussion about what Democrats are really talking about,” said Rep. Scott Peters , a member of the more centrist New Democrat Coalition who has not yet endorsed a presidential candidate. He was one of nearly two dozen Democratic lawmakers of all ideological stripes who told POLITICO last week that they support holding such a debate.
The dems should simply skip the theatrics and announce Biden as the candidate. We all know this is what they are going to do anyway regardless of the debates, regardless of the primary voters.
So... they don't want an actual debate? What do they want, everyone to come on stage and just compliment each other?

Vetted our candidates is not being 'divided' - it's just vetting our candidates. Sheesh - chill out already.
Biden is not a fucking Democrat
I think that's the whole point of a debate - to show their differences.
Democrats need to focus on something that's going to resonate with voters. To be honest, climate change is not it.
Despite the risk the Democratic debates will look like a slapstick clown show.
DNC will rig the debate to silence progressives. It's what they do. Vote Bernie2020 or vote Independent
Climate changes all the time democrats don’t they are the most dangerous terrorist organization in the world 🌎
If GOP wants to look stupid & ostrich-like, let them.
