2. I do not need to be "cautiously pro-fracking" to support VP Harris and Governor Walz.

I am not supporting them because of specific policies, because successful politicians are (or should be) reticent about locking themselves into one position or another.

The combustion of fossil fuels is killing the planet. It is not acceptable in any sense. If Kamala Harris is stating something different, either for political triangulation or another reason, or even because she really disagrees with me as to whether it is acceptable, I am untroubled by it and it will not affect my strong support for her candidacy.

I believe that as a strong leader, our next President, Kamala Harris will be free to change her mind. From what I hear, she has said as much. A leader who cannot change his or her or their mind is not a leader.

I am voting for her values, her intellect, and her skills, not her policies.
