NY Times Wonders Why Jay Inslee Isn’t Catching On When ‘Climate Change’ Isn’t
There really is a very simply answer for this, which NY Times writer Tripp Gabriel misses
Climate Change Is Catching On With Voters. Why Isn’t Jay Inslee?
For years, climate change was an issue of passionate concern to a few voters, but never enough to ripple presidential politics. The Hillary Clinton-Donald Trump debates in 2016 notoriously did not include any questions from moderators about global warming.
But after an alarming onslaught of floods, wildfires and catastrophic weather, dire scientific warnings about the impact of a changing planet and a president who dismisses it all, climate change has moved up drastically in polls of Democratic voters’ priorities. In some surveys, it has equaled or topped health care and jobs.
And that raises a paradox: Why is the only candidate making climate change the center of his campaign, who has rolled out ambitious policies and has a track record of achievements, Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington,stuck in the polling basement?
One answer?
Rather, Mr. Weber said, Mr. Inslee’s singular focus on climate change was, paradoxically, the reason he has yet to attract waves of millennial supporters.
“Young people and Democratic primary voters of course want to see a candidate putting climate change and the urgency of it at the forefront,” said Mr. Weber, the organization’s political director. “But we also want to see a candidate who is addressing the other issues we care about.” He listed affordable college, health care, racial justice and immigration rights.
Nope, that’s not it.
Ed Fallon, a climate activist in Iowa, who runs a group that dresses in penguin suits to confront candidates about climate, said Mr. Inslee’s challenge was not his age or his personality. He just needs to show up more on the campaign trail, he said.
Very stupid person is also wrong, and those are the only two reasons offered by a story that starts with a question.
LOL! Climate Warrior @JayInslee couldn’t even persuade the voters in very blue state Washington to swallow higher taxes to fight #climatechange, so why would anyone think he could do so to the whole nation?
Everyone wants to fight climate change, until it costs them money. https://t.co/mV2LXeDTEb

‘Climate change’ action may be popular in theory among Democrat voters per polling, but, it is not particularly popular in practice. In action. In passing laws that will personally affect those voters. That will increase their cost of living and reduce their personal liberty. They’re fine when it hurts That Guy, Other People, Someone Else, but they see what people like Inslee are pushing and know it will hurt themselves.
