That's democracy. Climate change is like the 12th most important issue to American voters, most people don't fall for the Democrat's scaremongering or virtue signalling around it.
The environmentalist who buys an Electric Hummer is buying a truck that weighs 10,000 pounds and whose battery weighs about the same as a Toyota Corolla. Imagine the materials needed for that battery. I bet John Kerry cruises around in a Hummber.
"The all-electric GMC Hummer EV Pickup continues its ramp-up, reaching a new quarterly sales record of 411 units (compared to 272 in Q2)."
It seems like climate change ranks low among voters who will vote Republican no matter, but is more important to independent voters.
Precisely. And it is important to Democrats as well. In fact, in the Pew Research Center poll of 2023 linked to in the previous posts, their associated report goes on to say that it was the issue that had the largest disparity between the Repub. and Dem. responders:
"The largest gaps between Republicans and Democrats are on protecting the environment and dealing with global climate change. Two-thirds of Democrats say environmental protection should be a top priority, compared with 20% of Republicans. Similarly, 59% of Democrats say this about climate change versus just 13% of Republicans."
And analyzing the difference on this issue further along party lines:
Pew Research Center - What the data says about Americans’ views of climate change wrote:
Democrats and Republicans have grown further apart over the last decade in their assessments of the threat posed by climate change. Overall, a majority of U.S. adults (54%) describe climate change as a major threat to the country’s well-being. This share is down slightly from 2020 but remains higher than in the early 2010s.
A chart that shows 54% of Americans view climate change as a major threat, but the partisan divide has grown. Nearly eight-in-ten Democrats (78%) now describe climate change as a major threat to the country’s well-being, up from about six-in-ten (58%) a decade ago. By contrast, about one-in-four Republicans (23%) consider climate change a major threat, a share that’s almost identical to 10 years ago.
Concern over climate change has also risen internationally, as shown by separate Pew Research Center polling across 19 countries. People in many advanced economies express higher levels of concern than Americans. For instance, 81% of French adults and 73% of Germans describe climate change as a major threat.

Climate change is not a priority to voters. I can tell pollsters I like red wine and yogurt, that doesn't make it a voting priority. Climate change has not been a factor in any nationwide election.
This summarizes how much voters care:
Reuters wrote:
Support for such changes dropped off dramatically, however, when poll respondents where asked whether they would be willing to assume certain costs to achieve them.
Only 34% said they would be very likely or somewhat likely to pay an extra $100 a year in taxes to help, including 25% of Republicans and 33% of independents, according to the poll. The results were similar for higher power bills.
Only 38% said they would be likely to help by carpooling or using public transport, and 33% said they’d be willing to trade their car in for an electric vehicle, while 42% said they would be likely to install solar panels, according to the poll.
In other words, they'll virtue signal to pollsters about climate change all day, but if they have to actually lift a finger to do something, it's no longer popular.

Your resource is rather old, dating back to 2019, and much has changed since then.
It depends how the question is asked and which poll you refer to. See the graph in the link below which clearly indicates otherwise, indicating that quite a few Democrats, and to a drastically lesser extent Republicans, will prioritize environmental protection even at the risk of curbing economic growth. The poll/study showed that 78% of the democrats said the would prioritize the environmental protections even at the expense of economic growth.

"Environmental protection" isn't climate change. Environment also includes clean water, clean air, parks, preservation, etc, things people care about more.
Former Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway warned Biden's treatment of media and White House aides could open the White House to a new president in 2024.
The press is fed up being treated like dirt and they are beginning to see what a dirtbag Biden actually is ...
"I think the fissures are starting to show. The cracks are starting to show for this reason. It's because the Biden administration, the Biden White House is not that generous to the mainstream media. They don't give them stories. They don't give them the truth from the podium. You've got a press secretary, and you've got members of the cabinet. You've got the president himself like an old, angry cuss, yelling at members of the media when he's not sniffing people's hair, when he's not being offensive, when he's not ruining the nation's economy, when he's not covering up for his son and his family. He's not a nice guy and that's what's starting to be surfaced in these stories. Now, I think the media also seeing their own polling, including the Fox News polling, that about a third of Democrats right now are committed elsewhere and are sniffing around, are looking around beyond Joe Biden. So the media are hedging their bets in that they feel maybe Biden won't make it, and they want to at least keep the proposition open that there would be somebody else."
Do you feel the same about Trump and his illegitimate child(ren)?
Wrong thread. Stop deflecting.
Unlike Crackhead Hunter & Sleepy Joe, Trump has never been a deadbeat dad to his kids nor to his grandkids.
It’s not the wrong thread. My post was a natural response to yours about Biden. There is evidence that Trump fathered at least one illegitimate child and possibly more. If you don’t want to admit that, then you should not be bemoaning Biden’s grandparenting.

First I've heard of this.
According to reports, President Donald Trump's former Trump Tower doorman Dino Sajudin was just released from a $30,000 contract that kept him silent. Sajudin claims that Trump had an illegitimate child with a housekeeper.
According to reports? His doorman knew this? He had a NDA -- but was released from it. From 2018 during Trump's presidency. Never a peep before. Did not stop Conan and Trevor Noah from covering it on the MSM
"Beyond the possibility that Biden’s cognitive state was in clear decline in England, the president does have a real problem with invading people’s personal space, which has become the source of many great memes online. At times, President Biden, clutching the arm of the English monarch as he was led around the royal palace, looked to many observers as though he genuinely did not know where he was."
The Biden Administration is playing down the forty-sixth president’s handsiness with the royal highness as friendliness. But concerns about the president’s cognitive state continue dogging the octogenarian president on both s...
Aren't you even a bit aware how foolish you look with the following?
You keep claiming Biden is feeble, has dementia, cant' speak, can't feed himself, half in the grave etc, etc etc.
Let's pretend all of that is 100% true.
How is it that he has accomplished 10 times more than Trump and outsmarted and beat the GOP numerous times.? Without listing all of these ways, just think about a few. Trump promised Infrastructure week dozens of times, Biden did it, lower drug prices, making Trumpie GOP look like fools a that state of the unions getting them all on video record saying they absolutely do not want to cut SS and medicare. (When they do)
If Biden is so feeble what does that make Trump? It can only be totally inept. So keep on calling out Biden for being pathetic. It just makes Trump look more incompetent.
PS. I am not defending Biden really, I am just pointing out how pathetic Trump is. And really how pathetic Trumpers are to still support him. And you do support him. Look at the polls. He is your guy.
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias · 2h People get really mad if you point out that inflation has fallen a lot since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act but it is true that this is what happened.
Taylor Taranto — the Trump fanatic and Jan. 6 defendant who showed up to Obama’s house with guns and ammo in his van after Trump posted the address on social media — has been ordered detained until trial.
Quick question for everyone here (including Liberals) has Biden ever done anything overseas to impress you. Has he ever done anything close to what Winston Churchill did? What HAS Biden done overseas or domestically? The guy is an empty suit and a wrinkled one at that.

Hey Bidenette, you're pathetic. Sleepy Joe is done and in no condition to serve as POTUS.
