There are several answers to this excellent question.

First and most obviously, about half of the U.S. electorate supports Donald Trump as our next president.  At a minimum, that means anti-intellectualism and the rejection of science in policymaking. This applies to environmentalism in spades; in particular, these voters believe the claim that climate change is a hoax, that climate scientists are bilking taxpayers, and that efforts in this space are engineered to weaken U.S. capitalism.

Secondly, by virtue of the popularity Trump/MAGA, the Democrats have to be careful not to go too far to the left.  There is essentially zero demand for a candidate like Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy, Jeff Merkley, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, or any other progressive.

On the other hand, the vast majority of Americans reject Trump as a lifelong criminal, now sucking the life out of the common citizen, and throwing away our country’s former glory so as to further enrich himself.
