Ah, the world of politics—where promises are as solid as quicksand, and stances on critical issues flip faster than a gymnast on a trampoline. Enter Vice President Kamala Harris, who, in the grand tradition of political leaders, has given us yet another stunning example of the ancient art of saying one thing, then doing the opposite. This time, it’s all about fracking. Yes, the very same fracking that Harris once promised to end, before gracefully pirouetting to a more "nuanced" stance. Let's dive into the fascinating and ever-flexible world of Kamala Harris's fracking stance.
The Original Promise: Ban Fracking? Absolutely!
Remember those early campaign days? The ones where Harris was all about progressive values, environmental justice, and, of course, the righteous battle against the evil of fracking? She was a fierce advocate for a fracking ban, aligning herself with the greenest of the green. It was a simple message: fracking is bad, and as your future leader, I’ll put an end to it. Cue the applause, eco-warriors unite, the world is saved! Or so we thought.
The Grand Pivot: Fracking? Never Said I’d Ban It!
Fast forward to the 2020 presidential campaign, and suddenly, Harris's stance on fracking became a little less... rigid. Now, instead of the unequivocal ban she once championed, we were treated to a more flexible interpretation. When pressed on the issue, Harris, now the Vice Presidential candidate alongside Joe Biden, assured voters that fracking would not be banned. Cue the backpedaling, political spin, and, of course, the collective facepalms of her supporters.
It’s almost like watching a magician at work—one moment, the anti-fracking card is front and center, and the next, poof, it’s gone, replaced by a card that says, “Fracking is here to stay!” How does she do it? We’re not sure, but it’s certainly impressive, in that “I-can’t-believe-she-just-did-that” kind of way.
The Message to Voters: Do as I Say, Not as I Do
Now, we all know that politics is a game, and like any game, it has its own set of rules. Rule number one: Never let your principles get in the way of winning. Harris’s fracking stance is a textbook example of this. It’s not about what she believes (because who can keep track of that?), it’s about what she needs to say to get ahead. Today, it’s “no fracking ban,” but who knows what tomorrow will bring? Maybe a ban on the fracking ban? Stay tuned!
