Right and that makes sense...

Unfortunately that's not what Kamala is doing.

I'll say it till my face turns blue:

Taking a stand against fracking is all it would take to guarantee trump can't win, but Kamala is pro-fracking, refuses to give the party voters what they want, and refuses to even explain why being pro-feacking is seen as a good choice by her and her campaign.

That isn't the only issue she's to the right of the party on either.

It's like her, her campaign, and the DNC aren't focused on beating trump, they want to beat Trump while giving the voters the bare minimum it would take, because the more they give voters, the less they get in donations.

So then telling voters "all that matters is beating trump" it's obviously bullshit because they're not doing everything possible to beat trump.

It ain't complicated.

Like you said:

the only way to beat them is to get everyone that isn’t them in a coalition together.

That's the opposite of what OP spends their time on, but considering a month ago they were intentionally spreading misinformation about when early voting started, I'm surprised the mods still let them post here.

Every single "meme" OP posts is about how Dem voters should fight with Dem voters rather than band together.

Taking a stand against fracking is all it would take, when the largest swing state this election has an economy that leans heavily on fracking?

It's not the instant win you think it is.

An economy that "leans heavily" on fracking? What sort of economy leans on destroying their water table? What did you say about the economies that "lean heavily" on coal mining?

Like what, West Virginia? Can me when they're a swing state, but don't hold your breath.

If the conviction issue depends upon it being a swing state then it isnt a conviction issue.

[–] Bassman1805 -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Who's arguing about conviction here?

I want the US to pull out of fossil fuels. In the immediate future, there is no presidential candidate committing to that, but one of them is completely all-in on expanding fossil fuels so I will be voting for the opposite candidate.

Less than a month before election day is not the time for purity politics.

Which candidate are you referring to? And it certainly hasn't been just in the last month that fossil fuel policies have been a political issue.
