US voters want action on global heating. So why are midterm candidates ‘climate hushing’?

RIGHT SO CONTEXT FIRST BECAUSE IT MATTERS BUT APPARENTLY THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD IS PAYING TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS EXTRA FOR ENERGY AND MORTGAGE PAYMENTS BECAUSE OF FOSSIL FUEL DEPENDENCY WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE EVERYONE IS ALARMED ABOUT GLOBAL HEATING AND POLLS SHOW VOTERS IN RED AND BLUE BATTLEGROUND STATES WANT ANSWERS BUT CANDIDATES ARE JUST GHOSTING US WHICH IS BASICALLY CLIMATE HUSHING AND EVEN PEOPLE WHO USED TO BE ALL ABOUT GREEN ENERGY LIKE ABDUL EL-SAYED IN MICHIGAN ARE SUDDENLY BACKING AWAY FROM IT BEFORE THE MIDTERMS IN THREE WEEKS AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE TRANSITION TO CLEANER STUFF EVEN THOUGH WE JUST HAD A RECORD HOT SUMMER SO CANDIDATES ARE JUST STAYING COMPLETELY SILENT INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING THE CRISIS THAT IS LITERALLY COSTING US THOUSANDS OK BUT ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I AM SEEING?

SO THIS HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE IN HERE BECAUSE SOMEONE IS CONNECTING THE SCRAMBLED FOSSIL FUEL SUPPLY TO THAT OLD DECISION BY DONALD TRUMP TO ATTACK IRAN AND NOW IT IS HITTING OUR WALLETS TO THE TUNE OF TWO THOUSAND BUCKS A HOUSEHOLD ON TOP OF A RECORD HOT SUMMER BUT THE WEIRDEST PART IS THAT MIDTERM CANDIDATES ARE ACTING LIKE THE ENVIRONMENT DOES NOT EVEN EXIST AS A TOPIC AND THEY ARE AVOIDING IT LIKE THE PLAGUE EVEN THOUGH POLLS SHOW BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE DESPERATE TO HEAR A PLAN ABOUT THE CLIMATE CRISIS YET WE ARE SEEING A TOTAL CLIMATE OMERTA ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL WITH ONLY THREE WEEKS UNTIL VOTING STARTS AND NO ONE IS EXPLAINING WHY THEY ARE SUDDENLY SO QUIET ABOUT THE WHOLE THING OK THAT IS ME DONE, I SWEAR.

Voters across the US want midterm candidates to address climate change and rising energy costs, yet politicians from both parties are remaining largely silent on the issue.
