Deep Adaptation

No, she doesn’t support fracking. But there are national security issues to consider:

Kamala Harris:
“My position is that we have got to invest in diverse sources of energy so we reduce our reliance on foreign oil,” she said. “We have had the largest increase in domestic oil production in history because of an approach that recognizes that we cannot over-rely on foreign oil.”

This is not in order to increase total energy. It reduces reliance on foreign oil.
These are some of the trade-offs with the ultimate goal of replacing a fundamental aspect of the industrial revolution with a new source of clean energy.

Youre telling me she doesnt suppport fracking after she just said she wont ban it

Splitting hairs. Politics.

It is a State issue. The Republican Congress has made no law.
But considering National Security is not splitting hairs. Allowing something is not the same as supporting something. That’s why we have 2 different terms.

She has found a way to say she won’t ban it and signal the Left that she is against it.

There’s a reason why Green Party federal candidates poll in the low single digits.

Yes, that is the art of negotiating National and International politics. It’s a delicate balancing act.

If we listen to Trump, it becomes clear that her approach is far more desirable than the autocratic messages of Trump’s bombast.

Maybe, but we have to get them out of women’s uteruses first and teach them what is a state issue and what’s none of their damn business issue.

I agree and I definitely think that both issues should be handled at the Federal level, in the spirit of the Constitution, rather than by partisan gerrymandered districts.

Politics being the key word. Even when you agree, you are disagreeable. I’ll ask you the same thing I asked rizzo, who didn’t answer. Why do you think the Green Party gets so few votes? They win the occasional local election, where they can’t do a whole lot, and big-money politics can’t reach them. But they aren’t a threat to the two parties that the same rich people support.

For politicians, wholeheartedly agreeing and supporting the Green Party will cost you financial support from many wealthy sources.
You know, donations of a million dollars worth of “free speech” as per SCOTUS.

But one indication of support for “Green products” is Tax incentives for manufacturing and purchasing EV and other non-oil-based products.

Cultivation and manufacturing of Hemp products could replace a lot of oil-based products.

Exactly. Because we are an Oligarchy. We’re in danger of becoming an authoritarian oligarchy

I agree.

My question is why average middle-class people believe in a Trump presidency?
Is it because he promises tax cuts.?

I can understand rich people giving millions of dollars to Trump, because if he becomes president he will cut taxes for the rich too (including himself).

But while a tax cut for the poor may consist of couple of hundred dollars per year, a rich person may get a tax cut of couple of hundred million dollars for that year.

To the poor, a tax cut feeds a false hope. That’s why they vote.
To the rich, a tax cut feeds their wealth. That’s why they donate.

You only need to understand the logic of the rich, the rest is human psychology. Money feeds the propaganda machine, it creates manipulated video, owns media, grooms young politicians and judges, so they can make the laws that keep people uneducated so they don’t make logical decisions.

Back to the days of the Company-store that owns your soul!

That reminds me one legend about frogs

It is told that if you put frogs in cold water and warm slowly the water, the frogs don’t realize what’s happening before it is too late for them.

Ultra right use the same tricks.

Ideas and words which are outrageous and unthinkable are pout forward. when they have become the norm, they go one step further and so.

Conditioning… image

She once claimed to be a champion for action on climate change , but when real power is reach true colours come shining through

Noooo… Kamala Harris is not a power-hungry Capitalist like Trump. She sees the role of President as “serving” the people living and working inside the Nation.

She started her career in law enforcement and as a prosecutor always began her court appearance with "Your Honor , Kamala Harris, For the People.

And her continued representation of her constituents in the Senate and as Vice-president shows a record of positive votes and accomplishments in favor of the “middle class” and in the spirit of “being a friend in need”.
You are engaged in slander, without a shred of proof.

Demagogic themes appeal to Americans because of the results of over forty years of capitalist liberal policies enacted by both Democrats and Republicans. Governing for the rich creates opportunities for tyrants, who excite voters with emotional issues. Subjects to authority rather than informed citizens. Citizens ripe for supporting wars to establish a doomed global supremacy the rest of the world is going to reject much to the surprise of Americans.
