Why can’t they all just practice what they preach instead of forcing their beliefs on everyone else?
Youth groups urge Kamala Harris to hold the line on climate change policy
Young climate campaigners are urging Kamala Harris not to soften her position on global warming in a bid to win over swing voters as she campaigns to become the next US president.
“We are watching and waiting to see what kind of vision she puts forward on climate in coming weeks,” said Stevie O’Hanlon, spokesperson for the Sunrise Movement, a youth-led climate organisation that helped elect Joe Biden in 2020, but recently called for him to stand aside.
“When Democrats run away from their progressive stances when they run for president they look like flip-floppers,” said O’Hanlon. “She has a chance to defend the positions she has taken over the last decade and make the case for them.”
The Sunrise Movement said it would allow its members to vote on whether the group should endorse Harris as the Democratic candidate over the next two months.
But its caution about endorsing Harris underscores the political difficulty of generating enthusiasm among young Americans, who proved a crucial part of the Democratic party’s winning coalition in 2020, while also appealing to a wider voter base with more moderate views on climate action.
Kamala has been pretty hardcore on trying to force the peasants to practice the tenants of the Cult of Climastrology, all while using vast amounts of fossil fuels herself. She doesn’t drive an EV for one thing. Will Harris lie about her agenda, ie, soften her stance to get elected? Or, will she stick to her guns? If Trump and Cackles debate he should ask her directly about her climate scam agenda.
Meanwhile, over at Hot Air, since I may or may not get to this
If you thought Joe Biden’s electric vehicle mandates were unpopular (and they are) just wait until you see the even more aggressive plans that Kamala Harris has in store if she manages to be elected to the White House. Rather than giving in to a popular lack of demand, Harris intends to double down, accelerating the schedule for converting the American fleet of vehicles at an even more rapid pace wherever possible. The Democrats still aren’t quite crazy enough to try to make possession of a gas-powered vehicle illegal, but they will bully the automakers to ensure that a full 50% of all vehicles sold are EVs and they will use the regulatory power of federal agencies to enforce their will. It’s almost as if Harris and her party are daring the American people not to vote for them. (Free Beacon)
Many manufacturers are giving absurd deals to dealer employees to get their EVs on the road, because, for one thing, inventory is just sitting there. One maker had an insane one about 6 months ago that also carried over to any employee of the group, though, it was only an 8K mile a year/2 year lease. I usually get a 10K a year lease. It was interesting, the SUV was the size I like, but, no thanks. We are getting offered $299 a month for a 3 year/30K lease on a bigger SUV that is pretty loaded. They drive very nice. Smooth. Enjoyable. Great acceleration. If it carries for at least 2 months I might consider it, though, it is a bit wider than I generally like. A bunch of fellow employees have taken advantage. I’ll see what their opinions are in a month or so (I’m taking a long drive to see the parents in August, don’t feel like making that part of my learning curve, plus, any color I want won’t be in stock till late August/early September).
As I’ve said, it should be a personal choice, not a government mandate. I’m fine with one 90% of the time. The range is about 75-100 miles less than my Civic. If I want to fast charge, the closest is a 15 minute drive away. I do not have a garage, so, leaving it plugged into an outside plug is not optimal overnight. I am interested, though. 8 inches wider than a Civic (heck, 5 inches wider than an Accord), 9 inches longer, though, I’ve had an Accord before, length is not the issue. Width is. The end of the day, it’s not the government’s job to dictate why an American drives.
