The radical climate action group “Climate Defiance” has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency, not due to her track record or alignment with their goals, but because they believe she can be influenced.
They describe her as a leader they can “pressure and move,” indicating a preference for someone they see as malleable.
Despite her high-profile climate advocacy and significant policy actions, including her role in passing the Inflation Reduction Act, Climate Defiance expresses skepticism about Harris’s leadership qualities.
The group highlighted her private jet usage and previous positions on fracking, suggesting she lacks the vision they seek.
In contrast, they unequivocally oppose Donald Trump, claiming his presidency would dismantle environmental protections and exacerbate social issues.
Climate Defiance claims that voting for Harris is a strategic move to prevent a Trump return, framing it as a “pragmatic choice” rather than a heartfelt endorsement.
Ultimately, they view Harris as a politician who can be swayed, unlike Trump, and they are determined to push her toward more radical climate policies, seeing their activism as essential to shaping her agenda.
