The DNC has voted not to accept any donations from fossil fuel companies. From HuffPost:

The resolution ― proposed by Christine Pelosi, a party activist and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s daughter ― bars the organization from accepting contributions from corporate political action committees tied to the oil, gas and coal industries. The executive committee voted unanimously to approve the motion.

“We talk about how climate change is real and climate change is a planetary emergency, what we need to do is stop taking money from the institutions that have created this crisis,” said RL Miller, president of the super PAC Climate Hawks Vote Political Action and a co-author of the resolution.

Yes indeed. They dnc should, in it's infinite wis-dumb, eschew anything related to fossil fuels. Gonna take a lot of candles to light up their venues. Clothing, hardware, laptops........... Yup. Pitch em all if they have any connection to fossil fuels at all. Speaking of fossils, how's you mom christine? She needs some looking after.

I doubt they were getting any, but this should increase their support from their idiot base.

This must mean no private Jets for them. No airtravel. No limos except electric ones. No personal aitos except electric. No staying in hotels powered by electricity generated by coal or natural gas. No use of any electricity generated by fossil fuels.
The list is practically endless.

What about banning the related unions, both money and labor? Fossil fuels accounts for a big chunk of the economy—petroleum companies, car makers, etc.—that are no longer welcome.

Isn’t this a bit like a Brazilian meat buffet restaurant refusing service to vegans?

It sure seems that way. Eventually the voting public will realize just how out-of-step the party is and walk away.

Did the DNC shut off their air conditioners? Ban travel on planes, trains and automobiles? Ban eating food produced using tractors and combines?

No staying in hotels powered by electricity generated by coal or natural gas.

No plastics. No food grown with the aid of fertilizers (containing ammonia made from natural gas). Nothing shipped by truck or rail.
