Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It's because on the surface it looks like the classic bullshit "both sides" claim. Where one side is clearly worse but they try to make it seem like both are similar.
Not sure if this is different to be honest. The Rs have been trying to undermine the EPA for decades, there's a long history there that shouldn't be ignored even if recent D admins haven't been great.
I don't have the time to do a deeper dive at the moment, likely others don't want to even bother, so they just downvote since a good 90% of the time the both sides type responses are disingenuous.
Harris supports oil and fracking
it is both sides
Supporting oil and fracking isn't even in the same ballpark as wanting to deregulate and eliminate the EPA entirely.
But they ARE in the same ballpark tho.
I don't see the vast difference you do.
The news cycles manufacture* polarization so people think there is a huge difference between both parties, and there really isn't. We've gone so far right, that right is considered left, and anyone alive who's been paying attention and speaks on it is accused of being too old/bot/shill/foreign propagandists du jour.
Neoliberalism
Yes, and Afaict, it's right of what neolib was.
