Comment on When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?
fine_sandy_bottom@lemmy.federate.cc 2 months agoAny commentary I’ve heard is talking about Pennsylvania. It’s critically important to a win, and fracking is critically important to voters there.
That said, can’t it be both?
I’m sure both campaigns have accepted donations from loads of shady industries. Crypto is a salient example.
Money wins elections, and the race being as close as it is I don’t care where the dems are getting their money from.
I find myself saying this a lot, but if the left was going to win a convincing victory, they would have some scope for more progressive policy. There isn’t any room, and they don’t have that mandate.

It corporations weren’t given the same rights as people, then we wouldn’t need to wonder what politicians’ real motives were.

Corporations are legal entities, but they do not have the same rights as people.

Not according to the US supreme court.
