When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?
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's bogus is you trying to ignore Harris's entire platform because it's clearly superior to Trump's platform. You're hoping that people don't compare the two platforms because anyone who is able to read can see that Harris has better policy positions across the board, including in abortion rights, LGBT rights, taxation, foreign policy, energy, and immigration.
In the debate, as I have shown in the parts that I quoted, Trump also claims that he "wouldn't be outdone" and would "do it harder and meaner" on the topics that you are pretending to care about. That is what people are expected to do in a debate. Even then, Trump lied about immigrants eating cats and dogs, while Harris acknowledged Palestinians' right to self-determination.
Not sure why you bother with Lemmy when your pro-Trump rhetoric is a better fit for Gab and Truth Social.
Harris is the VP now. She and her boss have a track record that's pretty close to Trump's on these issues and that should carry more weight than a campaign webpage. Also, Harris is notoriously non-committal in her speech (except on Israel), so she really went out of her way in the debate to make it clear that she'll be tougher on the border and do more fracking than Trump. That's the real Kamala.
And just so everyone is clear, Trump is also bad. Do not vote for Trump either.
