Recently, the DNC decided to reverse course on a ban on the acceptance of donations from fossil fuel companies — a moratorium that had only been in place a couple of months:

The DNC's proposal to lift the ban on accepting donations from fossil fuel companies is premised on the party's support for unions. As of 2017, just 4.4 percent of workers in the mining sector — including coal, oil and gas — were union members (via https://t.co/1Ao6HRNKFk) pic.twitter.com/MdQWfp90n7

At the DNC summer meeting today in Chicago, lefty activists let the party leaders know they weren’t happy… with a song:

And all of them either a) drove their gas powered vehicle to this protest or b) rode in a vehicle powered by gas that someone else drove. Oh the hypocrisy

The part where one protester said some people “drove here from Michigan for the environment” was pure gold.
