    Would it actually change anything though? All of the oil companies have already come out in support of Trump and are funneling money towards him. They already don’t want Harris and are doing what they can against her.

    If she publicly called them out and indicated she would be taking a stand, it might help to further motivate Democrats and leftists.

      Right now they’re just waving fistfuls of money in Trump’s direction and he gets to pick up whatever falls out of their hands as they’re waving. It’s definitely big money that he’s getting, but it’s ultimately castoffs to the people who attempted to BUY GOLF ON A PLANETARY SCALE just because they felt like it.

      Right now any mumbling about climate change is status quo for them.

      Drawing direct ire would be an INCREDIBLY STUPID CHOICE right now. Get into office FIRST, then go after the oil barons.

      Publicly call out poorly designed cities, under funded public transportation, and corporate resistance to working from home.

      Do not publicly call out the oil barons by name.

      Not right now.

      Do not summon what you cannot banish.
