I work in this industry, so these kinds of things are really sore for my eyes. 
Renewable energy is not clean - the shit you need to generate renewable energy - namely all the rare metals for it - pollute way more as they themselves need to be mined and prepared.

Yeah, there's no such thing as renewable energy, and everything the politicians claim to be "renewable" are not self-sustainable. It takes way more times the petroleum energy to produce the steel and mechanics to create and maintain solar panels, windmills, dams, etc, you name it.... and it takes even more to maintain those things, than the energy those things will create within their lifetime.
Solar panels and windmills use tons of aluminum and other non-renewable resources acquired by strip-mining the third world, and are not cost-effective at all, even in large numbers; they are obsolete long before they pay for themselves. Hell, it's questionable if the windmill or panel will even pay for itself before it wears out.
Renewable energy would be nice if our technology was efficient and productive enough, and if renewable energy wasn't so extremely unreliable and damn expensive to even replace a small portion of fossil fuel energy...
And hell, even if you ignore the purchase cost, it's even more questionable whether the reduced carbon emissions compared to producing a similar amount of power via fossil fuels would result in a sufficient impact on global warming to merit the environmental destruction of mining the materials to build the panel/windmill in the first place.
And even more... what about states that can't support the type of infrastructure that is required to sustain renewable energy.... I have an aunt who lives in California. California has the most renewable energy (they closed a bunch of power plants and went full green, iirc), yet my aunt tells me it also has the worst power grid, and the most blackouts.. clean renewable energy can't even power the whole state.
And don't get me started on hydro.
That shit's horrible.
I mean, sure, fossil fuel's bad.. Can we do something to combat it? Sure, we can try. But any attempts to do a lot of the environmental friendly stuff that are proposed are super irrational, unreliable, and expensive.
That’s so evil, this is manslaughter
Kamala Harris is your standard sellout politician that doesn't stand for anything but her own career and pocketbook. She's Hillary 2.0. They're like Obama but without any of the charisma.
The corporate overlords figured out to partially tranquilize the left that SHOULD challenge its authority by throwing them crap like "but look she's a woman of colour". And it's sad that so many people are buying into this, because it's quite clearly a distraction from the rich to stop any real fundamental change.
And this is the perennial playbook. Next up, woman president, gay president, trans president, native american president, asian president, etc... yet they'll all be corporate sellouts who don't differ in the slightest from any generic white, male politician. The second you challenge them on policy and ask them what they'll actually do they'll call you racist, bigoted, etc...

Don’t you just love when out of touch boomers use memes and games to help their campaign?
And this is why one should know to keep memes out of serious political campaigns. Too bad some are too caught up on “being hip and cool with the kids” to get far. Too many companies are guilty of this.
