How many candidates are not talking about banning fracking, and why?

5. I think we've reached a tipping point.

According to a WaPo article dated September 19, 2019 by Brady Dennis, Stephen Mufson and Scott Clement, entitled, "Americans increasingly see climate change as a crisis, poll shows,"

The poll finds that a strong majority of Americans — about 8 in 10 — say that human activity is fueling climate change, and roughly half believe action is urgently needed within the next decade if humanity is to avert its worst effects. Nearly 4 in 10 now say climate change is a “crisis,” up from less than a quarter five years ago.

I'm thinking that 40% of the people seeing it as a 'crisis' is a tipping point. I was reading an article a few months ago - don't remember where - that said over years, this number had been around 7%, which is 'tin foil hat' territory. I think the fires, the sea level rising and the harsher storms have created an awareness that no pseudo-scientific 'report' by some K-street think tank can cast doubt on.

It's like big tobacco. Their lies bought them about 10 years of profits. Plastics is doing the same thing.

And, of course, corporate propaganda is working extremely well around the Medicare for All plans. Warren, my candidate, scares the Wall Street greed-lizards, and thus she scares the 'establishment.' Notice how we're now hearing how she is 'losing support,' 'losing steam.' There are literally millions of dollars lined up against even a public option by those fun health insurance and pharmaceutical lobbies. They are willing to kill 45,000 Americans a year, and keep 40 million Americans from being insured at all, while the rest of us languish with shitty, rationed healthcare with financially crippling copays and coinsurance. Our system sucks.

But this is what happens here in America. If facts come out that might (gasp!) reduce short-term PROFITS, then they just lie. Stall, stall, stall so they can keep those profits up for as long as they can until public pressure forces them to change.

Power NEVER conceded ANYTHING without a fight. The oligarchs have been waging class warfare against working people since 1935 when they swore to overturn the New Deal. This so-called 'free market' capitalist utopia we're now 'enjoying' SUCKS.
