Right and that makes sense...

Unfortunately that's not what Kamala is doing.

I'll say it till my face turns blue:

Taking a stand against fracking is all it would take to guarantee trump can't win, but Kamala is pro-fracking, refuses to give the party voters what they want, and refuses to even explain why being pro-feacking is seen as a good choice by her and her campaign.

That isn't the only issue she's to the right of the party on either.

It's like her, her campaign, and the DNC aren't focused on beating trump, they want to beat Trump while giving the voters the bare minimum it would take, because the more they give voters, the less they get in donations.

So then telling voters "all that matters is beating trump" it's obviously bullshit because they're not doing everything possible to beat trump.

It ain't complicated.

Like you said:

the only way to beat them is to get everyone that isn’t them in a coalition together.

That's the opposite of what OP spends their time on, but considering a month ago they were intentionally spreading misinformation about when early voting started, I'm surprised the mods still let them post here.

Every single "meme" OP posts is about how Dem voters should fight with Dem voters rather than band together.

Taking a stand against fracking is all it would take, when the largest swing state this election has an economy that leans heavily on fracking?

It's not the instant win you think it is.

You're confusing people and corporations...

Pennsylvania voters continue to be split over fracking. A poll out this week, which surveyed 700 likely voters in September, shows 58% support a ban on fracking while 42% oppose it.

58% of likely voters in PA want it banned...

When people are employed by those corporations, they have a vested interest in their livelihood not disappearing overnight.

A survey of 700 people leaves considerable room for polling error. Without information on how they selected participants, I wouldn't say that's an overwhelming margin.

When people are employed by those corporations,

...

The report finds that about 64,000 Pennsylvania workers are employed in fossil fuel-based industries such as natural gas drilling, coal mining, and supporting activities

64k, not just fracking, that's all fossil fuel jobs in PA.

There's 12.7 million people in the state

0.5% of people in the state work any job connected to fossil fuels....

You're confusing corporations and people homie.

You didn't have to tell us you never learned about stats in any educational setting, but I appreciate the transparency.

700 is more than enough

700 people is a good sample size if they are a truly random representative sample of your population. In real life, polling error tends to vary far more than 1/sqrt(n) because of systemic biases in how you select participants. Depending on how the survey was conducted, it could intrinsically favor certain demographics.
