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.

    Well to start, one of them supports me having the same rights as everyone else while the other one wants me dead

      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.
