(3,811 posts)If you don't think there's any difference between what kinds of people and policies would be put in place at the federal agencies that manage and administer public lands, habitat and species protection, and other environmental protection laws, regulations, and policies, then we have a fundamentally different conception of the political ideology and environmental ethics that separates the two parties, and a fundamentally different expectation of the practical consequences of those ideologies and ethics when put into practice by the same two parties.
Hillary will essentially maintain the status quo. She'll staff agencies, who will then set policies, with non-radical, status-quo types like herself, who, under the best of circumstances, will establish, at least occasionally, rational and reasonable policies.
The Republican party of today is radical. They would gladly carry out radical plans in line with their extreme ideology if given half a chance.
Do what you want. Hillary isn't my savior. Like Obama, her ethics and mine are worlds apart in many areas. But unlike Republicans, we at least inhabit the same universe.
