I was shocked in the presidential debate that Harris gave staunch support for fracking. I was under the impression that democrats are against fracking, and remember people being critical of Fetterman for supporting it.
I also grew up in an area that was heavily impacted by the pollution from fracking. People who worked in the field were seen as failures of moral character who chose profits over the health of their children. How is it that both major parties are now in support of it? I feel like I must be missing a piece of the puzzle.
What is even the difference beyond rhetoric between these two candidates? They both hate immigrants and Palestinians, love Israel and fossil fuels, and neither have a tenable plan to improve the economy for the working class. Don’t let anyone give you a hard time about not voting for either.
One is a Russian asset intent on destroying America from within; the other is Kamala Harris. Your eyes must be getting real bad to not see that.
It’s crazy how liberals are still doing russophobia.
Not really, since it’s now public knowledge that the entirety of Trump-positive media is bankrolled by the Kremlin.
The entirety? Regardless, what difference does it make if both candidates are arguing that they will carry out the same policies more effectively than the other? It’s plain russophobia if you oppose a candidate for no discernable reason than alleged support of their campaign by Russia.
Same policies, my ass. Harris supports abortion rights, LGBT rights, more progressive tax policies, and has a stronger foreign policy strategy with respect to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, among many other policy positions that are superior to Trump’s. On the other hand, Trump supports the far-right vision of Project 2025 and wants to impose ridiculously high tariffs on imported goods to sharply increase the cost of living for most Americans. Most Lemmy readers see right through your bothsidesism.
We criticize Russia-backed propaganda campaigns such as Tenet Media because they disinform voters to promote Trump, who is content with Ukraine being annexed by Russia. Crying Russophobia doesn’t excuse the fact that Russia sees Trump as a tool to further Russian imperialism.
No she doesn’t. The only issues to which she’s explicitly committed is support for Israel and fracking.
You’re lying, because Harris covered all of the policies I mentioned in her platform:
Harris hasn’t said any of that with her chest they way she committed to Israel and fracking the other night. There’s barely any meat in this list anyway? Why did you even quote the Ukraine bit? On the point of reproductive rights in particular, you are Chalie Brown going for a football if you think there’s anything there. The Democrats have a strong track record of not protecting abortion access federally and her campaign is doing the same old blackmail by reminding us of an allegedly looming national abortion ban. It’s time to break the cycle.
