(Pew Research: Two-Thirds of Americans Think Government Should Do More on Climate) I support this policy, and expect my gov to lean into mitigating climate change and getting to net zero as fast as possible.

Actually, most of the democrats policies poll much better than the party itself. It's somewhat of a mystery why there's such a huge disconnect between how popular their policy positions are vs how well they do in the polls Abortion, healthcare, climate change, voter rights, etc. Even a plurality of people support DC statehood!

Recent voter surveys disagree with your remarks: >Before seeing any messaging, voters support the government eliminating tax subsidies and other financial incentives for fossil fuels by a 24-percentage-point margin (54 percent support, 30 percent oppose). Democrats support this proposal by an overwhelming 52-point margin (70 percent support, 18 percent oppose), while Independents support it by a 15-point margin (49 percent support, 34 percent oppose). While Republicans are nearly split, they oppose it by a narrow 3-point margin (39 percent support, 42 percent oppose).
