Concern trolls keep concerning. You don't actually care about her policies or her positions. Trump literally didn't have a platform in 2020 (it was a rehash of the 2016 platform) and has shown with his current "policies" that he has no follow through on how to implement these. The funny thing, policy positions only matter to the informed and educated, which would exclude 98% of MAGA voters. Those who are educated and informed openly despise what Trump, Project 2025 and the GOP presently stands for -- rendering the publishing of any policy position by Harris moot. Most voters identify with and vibe with the candidate, not the policies. But you knew that, didn't you?

So you don’t know where to find the policies on her website either?

Where is KH’s policy positions? The only information on the website is her background and multiple links to donate money.

Off the top of my head:
* Cap insulin costs at $35
* $2k cap on prescription costs
* Expand child tax credit to $3,600 per child, $6k credit for parents of newborns
* $25k down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers

And taxing the rich and corporations, in whose favor the system has been rigged for a very long time, to pay for it. Sounds good to me.


Meanwhile Trump's "plan" will cost trillions of dollars to implement with zero idea of how to pay for it. And that's apart from the Project 2025 horror.

Calm down. She's been the presumptive nominee for just over a month. Feel free to look at the policies that the Biden administration implemented or defended in the meantime. You, of course, act like she's entirely removed from her current position as VP (you know, a heartbeat away from leading the current administration).

Well, Biden's policies have largely sucked and what little Harris has said is idiotic.

If she can't figure out something better in month, then I'm not sticking around any longer.

Biden has gotten us into this mess. She has to do better than that.

Call her stupid all you want. She’s not. She’s a former prosecutor who has run a campaign with amazing message discipline— and discipline, period. It’s going to be an amazing contrast to Trumps rambling and erratic behavior.

Plus, she’s younger than Trump and much more attractive. I think the visual of youth v age and Trump rambling and her shrugging, saying she can’t respond because he’s incoherent and weird and looking younger and better is a JFK v Nixon moment.

She does not need to be policy heavy to win because Trump’s main policies are grievances and retribution. Her upbeat campaign will do well against that.

Plus, Trump is on his heels. He has yet to find a good response to her. None of his insults are sticking. He can’t even land a good nickname.

Maybe I’m wrong. But, I think Trump looks like Biden did in his first debate when he goes against her. Definitely think more people than normal will tune is.

What is her message though? Other than criticizing Trump and throwing out some grand ideas she can never accomplish, what’s her platform?

Just a couple to start with ..The key message is defending democracy. Don't allow the guy who got his followers to attack the Capitol to overturn the election and tried to make state election officials commit fraud to give him the election anywhere near the Oval Office. Frankly, no other policy matters more than that. Also, pass the bipartisan border bill that Trump had his team kill just to avoid a Biden win on immigration.

That’s not policy. Sorry.

Trump said he was going to cut energy bills and inflation.

Given energy bills are regulated by local commissions and inflation is a global phenomenon, what exactly his is policy?

I can tell you how the democrats are attacking both of these issues:

1) invest in renewable energy and the green economy jobs
2) continue to mine oil at record amounts
3) decouple from the global economy where oil is concerned
4) provide block grants for more housing at the state and local level
5) reduce healtcare costs by strengthening the ACA and negotiting drug costs on behalf of medicaid recipients

These were all articulated by Harris directly.

Are those policy?

What is the GOP plan?

Tariffs are inflationary, the VAT is inflationary and kicking out migrants is inflationary.

1. Not Trump
2. No insurrections
3. Pro-choice.
4. Pro-NATO
5. Pro-Israel, but has separated herself from Biden on Gaza
6. Child Tax Credit

Etc. You realize she has a website with her policies, yes. Google is your friend.

That is, BTW is much more coherent than Trump, who has no policy positions.

What is her pro choice policy proposal?

I'm sure it's similar to this, which would codify Roe as Federal law: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/701

In fact, her campaign has publicly stated that this is her position. Restore Roe via law.

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/29/kamala-harris-abortion-restoring-roe-00171657

So, no third trimester abortions. That means that in some states that now have no restrictions women will have less reproductive freedom under Harris than they would under Trump.

No stupid, that's not what it means.

The person thinking things through is not the stupid one. If the state has no restrictions right now and then Congress passes a law that imposes restrictions and Kamala Harris signs it then, women in certain states will have less reproductive freedom under Harris than they do right now.

No dummy, that's not how it works. The federal law mandating abortion rights is a floor. States can expand rights beyond it - i.e. - to the ceiling as the analogy goes.

What mess? Inflation has stabilized to normal levels, the stock market is pushing 41,000. Divisiveness? Trump seeded that.

Yeah— that’s not how the law she’s promising to sign (or federalism in general) works.

Keep trying to make Fetch happen though. You’ll get there.

Debate is in two weeks. And Kennedy positive buzz will last as long as JD Vance’s did. Because “a worm at my brain and I put a dead bear in Central Park” is weirder than even couch humping. Incels understand couch humping. No one understands brain worms and putting dead animals in public parks.

The federal government mandated “floor” would be point of viability with exceptions under Harris, not unrestricted access.

Many Americans care about debate performance. It is a good stress test for the candidates. Last one had both candidates struggling. One withdrew and one is going to try to debate again and struggle against Harris
