After Joe Biden selected Kamala Harris as his running mate in 2020, she moved toward the center on some issues, and has generally kept those positions to this day.

    She did that two years ago, she cast the tie breaking vote against a fracking ban.

    It’s not just a couple moves thinking it’ll help her win the election, it’s been a steady and sustained change. Obama did it too, but he started a lot further left than Kamala.

      Yeah, then the courts came in and prevented then from stopping fracking, https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/28/climate/biden-drilling-leases.html

      The fact that they did it shows just how well they understand that they need the center to win. This is unfortunate, but, can’t be helped.

      Anyways, the time to deal with this is post-election, where we win over the hearts and minds of the rural and midwestern US to evolve a new position to end fracking nationwide.
