CLIMATE CHANGE HYSTERIA: A DEMOCRATIC PARTY SCARE TACTIC.

ICHEOKU says the Democratic Party needs to pony up or shut up, as their current scare tactic campaign of an impending climatic Armageddon will not cut it. They need to start leveling with the American people on how they will help alleviate current issues facing them and not spend too much time worrying about a tomorrow that might never come. If eventually the tomorrow comes, it will, as always find a way out of its woods and somewhat take care of itself. But it is a fulcrum of indescribable maniacal nonsensical to be focusing so much attention and energy on Mr Climate, while at the same time neglecting the real issues facing Mr America.

American people would rather the Democrats face the immediate problems facing the country men and women now and then later, worry about a futuristic problem which may or may never arise tot he proportion which they are making it to be. But it is the political season of silliness where absurdities are sometime elevated to such a stratospheric importance in order to bamboozle and confuse the less informed and scare them enough to pull the lever for the Democratic Party as their protector in chief. It reminds ICHEOKU of the wolves commercial during Bush/Cheney second term reelection where the afraid and fearful were advised to be assured that the Dick Cheney and George W. Bush is the right answer to their trepidation. So, yes, they frighten American people into believing that the climate change is an existential threat to all they know, care and love; and that only the Democratic Party has the magic wand to swath it away back into Mars.

Like our in Lord's Prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread..", American people would rather their present problems are take the preeminent place it deserve in the ongoing Democratic Party presidential ticket campaign and not made a back burner or the second best to any climate change whatsoever. Instead of spending time and resources focusing attention on a future problem, which many of them might not even live to experience, they would rather their real existential problems are the focus of the attention. For example, a retiree who is worrying about the solvency of social security would like the Democrats to address his or her fears; ditto a sick American who is concerned about the rising cost of his and her prescription drugs; likewise the coal miner panicking about what will become his livelihood once the Democrats shuts down the coal mines. The Democrats are not speaking to the fears of these folks and this is very concerning and quite telling about how skewed the Democratic Party priorities are. 

These folks, given a choice, would rather spend their seven hours watching the Democratic Party presidential contenders battle their issues, since they are the ones they are running to be their president; and not whether polar bears will succumb to climate change sometime in the future or cow flatulence will cause the earth to tip over. So, while it is doable to walk and chew gum simultaneously, and creating the awareness of climate change is good; but it is not okay to place the priorities upside down, such that the first becomes the last and the last becomes the first. if there is fire in the house, the order of business is to first put out the fire, before investigating the sources of the fire and apportioning blames on who started the fire. It is like saving money when one is hungry, when the proper thing is to first stay alive by feeding, and then save whatever is left over. 

t is idiotic for the Democrats who are running for the presidency of America, to be spending too much of their time on the campaign trail worrying themselves sick, if actually they meant it, about a future which is not even assured; instead of the present, which is already here with us. To get the American people to come back home to their fold, they must reorder their priorities well and relearn how to put the horse before the cart and not the other way round. 

So, yes, while it is okay to create the awareness that drastic planetary changes is either occurring or a possibility, the Democrats should spend greater percentage of their time on issues which are already here with us, including the threatening China, jobs, security, foreign relations, fair trade, social security, over priced prescription drugs, killer opioids and fentanyl, as well as so many other real "existential threats" which American families wake up and go to bed daily, worrying about. Those kitchen table issues are the real issues worrying American people, which their leaders and anyone seeking to lead them, should be primarily preoccupied with and not some futuristic issue with climate, which is still debatable. 

American people will rise up against any candidate who thinks that American people are too stupid to know any better and will readily fall for such a bogeyman construct; and who will then turn around to present themselves as their protectors from such life threatening situation. American people will reject such candidates and will not vote for them as they do not need anybody to protect them from an "existential threat", which at best is mostly projections. They will rather vote for a president, who in fact, will protect from their present day life challenges, as they would rather live today and die tomorrow, than waiting to live tomorrow and die today. A candidate who is actually working hard, tackling their real issues, than one with an ideologically tinged fantasy of a futuristic issue  which might not ever come to fruition. 

ICHEOKU is emphatic that this is the debate in this election, the real choice facing the Democratic Party's presidential candidate wannabes, to either rise up to the plate on these issues or get ready to be rejected. They must decide to adjust and file away the scare tactic and face the real issues or they will be outed on November 3rd, 2020 with an earth shattering rejection at the ballot box. The choice is theirs to make, to either discontinue their scaremongering or frontally face the issues which are of concern to American people and let the tree fall where it may. Enough of the misplaced energy on a non issue issue, and at best a presumptuous climate catastrophe which is not determinately a certainty. Please Democrats, allow the American people the opportunity to cross the bridge when they get there; but in the interim, face their immediate problems.
