Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That would be the point but we're discussing why she's still pro-fracking
I already said that the Dems believe they can court some of the pro-frack without losing the anit-fracks. I think this is wrong, but that's why they are doing this.
You just don't agree with the strategy, but it's still the answer.
....
58% want to ban, they don't need any pro-fracking votes...
This is common everywhere fracking has been done, the people that live around it don't want it.
And Dem voters across the country don't want.
So Kamala being pro-fracking is zero gain of votes, and hurts the environment making climate change worse.
I asked for a valid reason, it's apparent you won't give one. There's no point in anything else if you still don't get it.
No the problem is you need to define valid for everyone else. You not liking a valid reason doesn't make it less valid. Clearly this word means something different to you in this context.
Here's the valid reason:
No, this would gain some votes. Moderate Republicans who can't stomach the other guy are looking for reasons to make an exception and vote Dem, and this is one of them.
Being anti-fracking wouldn't take votes away from the GOP voters, but would get those votes who are otherwise voting for Stein and such. Since there are other plans in play to convince those voters to go to Harris instead, aiming for the never trumper votes makes sense here.
Yep. So she's pro-fracking because she's trying to get some of that 42% that's pro-fracking, while counting that most of the 58% will support her anyways. Considering Harris's past record on fracking, they have better odds of working with Harris to stop fracking once she's in the White House than they would if the other guy wins.
I figure some of those 58% are the Republican anti-fracking vote.
