    By the same token she needs Pennsylvania and 58% of registered voters want to ban fracking because it negatively effects them…

    Like you said, the people know what they don’t work, but both candidate have explicitly said they won’t ban fracking.

    If Harris is doing what you’re saying and just trying to win, why not ban fracking?

      Couple of ideas here:

      • Registered Voters != Likely Voters. That’s like Polling 101 right there and part of why this isn’t black and white.
      • She probably thinks she’ll lose more of her coalition by banning fracking than she’ll retain.
      • Cold, hard, cash is always a possible answer.
