Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the world, and polling shows that American voters rank climate change as a top concern this election cycle.

He's barely polling relevant on the polls I just looked at. He should be getting the same amount as Marianne and the other outer edge white dudes, but I feel like he's getting as much time as Beto.

With the 2020 Democratic presidential debates in full swing, gun violence prevention experts want moderators of upcoming debates to ask candidates fact-based questions about firearm policy. 

In the past, gun safety platforms have failed to break through during both primary and general presidential debates. In this election cycle, moderator Chuck Todd did bring up gun safety during the first democratic presidential primary debate on June 26, but he adopted a right-wing talking point that strengthening gun laws would require confiscation of people’s privately owned firearms, serving as an example of how not to question the candidates about their platforms. 

It sets a bad standard of reinforcing the more popular candidates, the elites. Its purposefully set not to be fair, but if you want the best candidate, you give them all the same stage instead of making the ones with the smaller names have to climb twice as hard.
