Kamala’s Values Have Changed — or She’s Disingenuous

If her positions have dramatically changed, then her values have changed. Or will she change positions if elected?

During her first interview as a Presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris said that although her positions on key issues have changed, her values have not changed. That is inconsistent. Either her change in positions reflect a change in values, or she is being less than truthful with the American voters.

Personal values are defined as “broad desirable goals that motivate people’s actions and serve as guiding principles in their lives.”

Concerning the environment generally and climate change specifically, Harris’ values centered around reducing carbon emissions. As such, she said she would like to end the use of gasoline-powered cars. She favored an electric vehicle mandate, which would lead to a reduction in the use of fossil fuels. That meant she would ban fracking, as she said in 2019.

While a politician in California, her principles and values were consistent with that position.. Now she senses that most Americans do not agree with her, and since she is running for President, she has changed her views. She says she no longer supports an EV mandate. Nor does she favor banning fracking.
