Last night The Young Turks (TYT) announced that they are raising money to host a rogue climate debate after the DNC voted against having a climate-focused debate. Live on air, TYT host Cenk Uygur (pronounced chenk you-gur) explained his strategy for forcing a climate debate. His plan is to invite all of the candidates who have not made the debates so far, on a bet that they would be willing to risk being banned from future debates that they already haven’t qualified for. Assuming that the candidates take the offer for the free publicity, that would create an awkward situation wherein the lowest polling candidates would be given additional earned media on a significant platform, creating a strong incentive for the other bigger name candidates to participate. It is also worth noting that several of the top tier candidates have already called for a climate debate meaning there will be both internal and external pressures to break ranks and join the climate debate, on a gamble that the DNC would be unlikely to ban a plurality of the leading candidates.
