you clearly implied it by saying, “Taking a stand against fracking is all it would take to guarantee trump can’t win”.

That doesn’t say anything about non voters…

How many of those people are voting for her anyway?

If 58% of PA voters were voting for her anyways, why is it still a battleground state?

But why are you questioning every reason for why Kamala should match the party and ban fracking…

And you can’t offer a si gle reason why she’s pro-fracking besides:

I’m saying this is the way it is, and this is what they need to do to win in the system we have. If you want to fix the system, you need to vote D to gradually re-take SCOTUS and overturn shit like Citizens United that is fucking our politics with money.

So are you just admitting that the reason both candidates in 2024 are pro-fracking is because they’re taking bribes in the form of donations?

Like, and I hate that I have to say this:

Just because trump takes fossil fuel bribes doesn’t mean Kamala does.

Like, by that same logic you’re using to defend fracking, a foreign government can buy off the Dem party to support and find their invasion of sovereign countries…

Because trump and the Republicans do it too.

Is that what you meant to say or do you not even realize what you’re defending here?

Yes, in order to win in a shitty system, sometimes you have to do shitty things. Welcome to the real world.

If 58% of PA voters were voting for her anyways, why is it still a battleground state?

because there is more than one issue at stake in this election, and fracking ranks far down on that list for most people. there is also likely a significant amount of trump voters who are against fracking but would never change their vote to kamala.

So you legit think it’s better to piss off voters and then use corpo donations to try and claw back some?

Your priority isnt getting votes then, it’s getting donations. Donations that will need to be spent in an attempt to get back some of the votes we lost to get the donations…

Nothing will ever get fixed if we do that.

It’s just creating an extra step that pisses off the people we need votes from

it depends on how many votes, and how much money. You are just assuming the votes clearly outweighs the money, but you don’t have enough political experience or information to know that (and neither do I to be clear). But I guarantee you the Harris campaign has done the cost-benefit analysis. They could be wrong because nothing in politics is 100%, we’ll just have to see.
