Harris and Walz Don’t Believe in ‘Freedom.’ They Just Believe in Environmentalism

The Democratic ticket is trying to dress up its top-down and ineffective environmental policies in a pro-liberty guise. Don’t buy it.

Freedom and innovation offer the best way to protect the environment, but some environmentalists — like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz — reject that approach, instead embracing the exact opposite of freedom in the name of saving the planet.

For the radical Left, the goal isn’t a cleaner planet but control over your life through social engineering. Democrats have a deep desire to treat human beings like cells in a spreadsheet to be manipulated into making abstract numbers add up as they think they should. In an Orwellian twist, the Harris campaign has wrapped its discussion of climate policies in the language of “freedom,” speaking at the DNC about “the freedom to breathe clean air, and drink clean water, and live free from the pollution that fuels the climate crisis.”
