 We've got a problem on our hands. We've got a really big problem on our hands and by the time this video is over, this is gonna be the look on your face Because I Don't really even know how to respond to this because we always hear you know about How voters are inclined to vote against their own self-interest But I think that what the story demonstrates more so than anything is that people aren't knowingly doing this They think that they are voting for what's in their best interest, but in actuality. They're just horribly Horribly misinformed. So what am I talking about? Well as Rebecca Peitsch of the Hill reports former vice president Joe Biden is the top choice for president among likely Democratic voters who are focused on the climate according to a new poll the online poll released Monday as a Collaboration between the Sierra Club and morning consult limited its results to voters who said candidates plans for the climate are an important factor In their vote while Biden would be the top choice for 37 percent of climate-minded voters Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren came in second and third with 19 percent and 15 percent respectively The results echo other national polls of Democrats Which have largely found Biden far ahead of Sanders and Warren with the senators in a tough fight for second place So the trend with this question is that it mirrors just national polls People think oh well because I support Joe Biden That must mean that he's also good when it comes to the issue of climate change because I care deeply about this issue of climate change It's people kind of imposing what they think Joe Biden stands for when they clearly have not done their research because Joe Biden Factually speaking is not the best on climate change In fact, he was one of the worst until recently because Greenpeace gave him a D minus rating alongside John Hickenlooper and he's just above Bill Weld and Donald Trump. This is how they ranked Joe Biden back in May However after taking quite a bit of criticism because you can't run to be the Democratic Party nominee and do this bad on the issue of climate change Well, he did decide to Change his views a little bit and this did give him a bump after he released a new climate change plan So as of today after gauging candidates answers to a 29 question survey that Greenpeace had Sent out to all of the candidates. This is how they now ranked the candidates They put Jay Inslee at number one Cory Booker in second Bernie Sanders and Warren in third and fourth respectively Gillibrand and Gabbard with bees and in seventh place that is where Joe Biden is Currently and in case you were wondering where the other candidates fall Here's a quick look at the rest of their rankings But I'll link to the whole thing down below if you do in fact want to read more But keep in mind that these rankings, they're not foolproof, right? They only gauge how well these candidates responded to a 29 question survey that Greenpeace sent out It doesn't actually take into account how salient the issue of climate change is to a candidate Because as we all know Jay Inslee made this the cornerstone of his campaign It doesn't take into consideration candidates that took the initiative before To introduce legislation to get us off of fossil fuels like Tulsi Gabbard It doesn't consider how often candidates talk about climate change like Bernie Sanders and also it obviously can't account for political Calculations of a candidate I mean you can't tell if a candidate answered the question in a certain way Because they were worried about how the reaction would be I mean Joe Biden he flipped when he got criticism for the height amendment So it's also possible and very likely that he flipped on climate change after getting criticism from Greenpeace But one thing that's certain is that these voters who think that Joe Biden is the best person to take on climate change These people are horribly horribly misinformed and this is incredibly concerning Because you expect Democratic Party voters who are more concerned about climate change Just statistically speaking to at least know that someone who's a right-wing Democrat like Joe Biden Obviously isn't going to be better on this issue than someone who is further to the left And more importantly, why would you think that someone who takes corporate money Fracking money fossil fuel money would be better than anyone else on this particular issue Why would you think that to think that Joe Biden is the best on climate change is so laughable So odd that I really worry about the future of the country if this is what Democratic voters think Because again, they should know better, but they're horribly misinformed Not maybe as much as Republican Party voters, but still nonetheless, they're misinformed So here's what we need to do First of all, we need to change their minds if you know someone who supports Joe Biden Convince them Convince them that we just tried running a centrist Against Donald Trump and if they actually want action to be taken when it comes to climate change Then we have to get Donald Trump out But if we know a centrist lost to Donald Trump before We don't want to try that again and the electability argument seems to resonate with these people to support Biden So use that weapon that they often use against us Against them because they tell us oh Bernie isn't electable when we all know that that's bullshit But use that argument because that's what they use so you argue Against their point On their own terms and that could be persuasive now. What's the second thing that we have to do? Overwhelm them at the ballot box Get out and fucking vote Take your friends with you sign them up to vote Because if we stay home if millennials and gen z doesn't vote By default the more conservative democrat will win And that makes our chances of beating Donald Trump collectively as people on the left Worse So this poll it just it almost made my head explode You know, I try to maintain faith and humanity in the country and voters But it gets more difficult, right? It gets more difficult to remain optimistic when you see things like this when they think that joe biden is the top choice I mean people For the love of god do your homework because we can't fuck this up You can't get someone in who you think is saying the right things joe biden isn't even saying the right things But we can't afford To make a mistake you have to do your homework you have to And it's frustrating that that many people are that misinformed
