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.

          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.

        I assure you that neither of these candidates or their parties cares if any of us live or die. Even if they claim to support your rights, they don’t really mean it. Just look at the Democrat’s track record on codifying Roe v. Wade into law. They’re just blackmailing you into voting for them.

      One is a idiot thin-skinned grifter man child cult leader who doesn’t care about anyone but themselves, and the other is Kamala Harris.

      Most people just lapring two party regime circle jerk. We got a generation to go before we get critical mass understanding that vote for either party is the vote [for] the regime.

      They will keep looting unless the two party system is upset by people voting any third choice alternative as a FUCK U to the two parties.

      But hey bro vote for my guy, trust me bro HOPE and CHANGE is coming after you vote for my guy bro… you are not [nazi or commie], vote for my guy
