In the debate last week, Vice President Harris insisted that she was pro-fracking, and under her administration America has expanded its oil production to a level higher than ever before. It’s disgusting. She says she’s pro-environment, and her administration invested 1 trillion dollars into climate initiatives. But what’s the point of investing money in sustainable energy if you won’t use it, and you just end up drilling for even more oil? Harris is trying to solve the climate crisis the same way someone who’s trying to lose weight would spend an hour in the gym and buy a big mac to reward themself for the hard work. It’s not going to work.
I’m desperately biting my tongue until after the election because we need to prevent Trump from bombing the West Bank, and if I didn’t think about the consequences of what I was saying, I wouldn’t be doing everything I can to prevent genocide of Palestinians. But I need to vent, and this community is pretty small and hasn’t had any posts in two weeks, so I’m venting here. I’m not happy with Harris. The day the polls close, I’m going to be posting about her bad climate plan like hell, I think.
