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?

If she has one then she hasn’t made it public yet. Maybe at her first press conference this week she’ll tell us.

If you think she hasn't made it public yet, then you simply are not listening to her or reading her website.

https://kamalaharris.com/

this is her website. Where are her policies?

DP - thank you for pointing it out. There are no policies listed her website.

It’s ok. Who needs policies when you have joy? And her and Walz are just so nice…

They won’t talk to without a teleprompter. How is that nice?

Walz very famously didn’t use a teleprompter til he became the candidate for VP. I swear some of you just happily baste yourselves in a marinade of right wing propaganda and wonder why it stinks in here.

Let’s Be real. The problem isn’t with Walz. Rather, it’s that Harris gives the public a middle finger each day that passes without a press interview.

She’s coasting, which precisely how her aides have described her work ethic. Then there are her promises, which have shown she lacks a basic understanding of economics.

I fear she avoids the press because the empress has no clothes.

That's the same thing they said about Obama. And every Dem since Bill Clinton has been labeled a left wing radical. It just gets to a point that these criticisms don't mean anything except the candidate is a Democrat and you don't like them. That's fine, but it's not actually a real criticism. It's a preference.

+1 Every Democrat is the devil incarnate, each further left than the last, all are always branded “communist,” “socialist” or “Marxist.” Every time. There’s a reason none of the usual smears are sticking.

It’s not a smear. It’s literally a fact that she was a more liberal senator than Bernie Sanders who honeymooned in the Soviet Union. But in the past five weeks she’s disavowed the prior decades of her policies. Why?

Honey let’s get some polisci eduction. “Liberal” does not equate Communism, Marxism or even Socialism.

Go back to school and read some books and then we can have a real conversation. Lord Almighty

In today’s Democratic Party it’s a distinction without a difference.

Please explain to us what Democratic policies are "communist" or "Marxist" with citations.

If you’ve lost the Washington Post…

“But more to the point: If your opponent claims you’re a “communist,” maybe don’t start with an economic agenda that can (accurately) be labeled as federal price controls.”

She didn't call for federal price controls. Even if she had, it's an immensely popular stance. Something like 2/3rds of the people approve of price controls for basics like milk and eggs.

About the only thing it would do is limit supply and put grocers out of business. How would 2/3rds of people feel about that?

Not really. Food manufacturers have been reporting record profits. They can live with slightly lower record profits.

Okay, I guess we’ll all trust you on this one. SMH

That’s what is scary about the democratic ticket. I don’t think democrats care what Kamala would do. They are just going to vote for her. She has nothing and has no plans to talk to the press or hold interviews. Democrats are just voting for her because she’s a democrat, not because of her policy or future plans.

Trump went 424 days without holding a solo press conference—from February 16, 2017, until November 7, 2018. This was the longest stretch without a press conference by a U.S. president in modern history. WHILE HE WAS PRESIDENT - and you didn't care about the media blackout and you didn't care about his "policies"

Harris is better than Trump even without comparing any policies.

Only because she’s NOT TRUMP.
C’mon. Give us something to work with.

Being NOT TRUMP is perfectly acceptable when your opponent is...checks notes...Trump.

Millions of us were in far better shape under Trump's first presidency.
No inflation. Lower grocery prices. Lower gas prices. Peace around the world. A secure southern border and about 10 million fewer migrants residing in the US. Laken Riley and Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nungaray and many others alive.
I'll take this any day over what Kamala has brought us.
So, it would seem Trump > Kamala

+1

At this point I’m probably going to plug my nose and vote for Trump.

Da, you will “plug nose” and vote Trump.

(That’s not the idiom, and there’s also a 100% chance you’re already a Republican)

The Washington Post has become a right wing rag. Second of all, because Republicans struggle with internet basics like citing their source and supplying a link, it’s a Catherine Rampell op ed. :lol: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/15/kamala-harris-price-gouging-groceries/ Suffice to say it’s going to be about as fact based as your average Fox propaganda piece.

Exactly. Why would anyone give him another chance to f up the next crisis.
No thanks

Because in just 1,300 days Biden-Harris policies have led to the first land war in Europe since WW2, a regional war in the Middle East, crushing inflation at home, and 13 million illegal immigrants. We can’t take four more years of this.

Blaming Biden for Putin starting a siege on Ukraine is quite a take, given the tens of thousands of Russian troops that poured into Donbas and Donesk when Trump was president and Trump just let them do it without a word or statement.

The regional war between Israel and Hamas is also a result of Trump blowing up the JCPOA and then turning a blind eye to the West Bank cult illegally seizing private land from families who had lived there for centuries. Putting Iran on the outside of the world order was a HUGE mistake as you can see the Iranian vessels that had been check now have free rein.

Democrats have dominated US foreign policy for 12 of the last 16!years. Yet it’s always Trumps fault. Y’all need therapy.

She’s taking a respite weekend in DC.

Kamala Harris will return to Washington Friday as Donald Trump turns attention to the Southwest

Harris will return to the White House after the Democratic National Convention, while Donald Trump will have appearances in Las Vegas and Arizona.

[Anonymous]

This means exactly nothing - but I was just talking with my in laws, who are white working class voters who have been Republicans until Trump, and who live in a red-voting part of New York.

Before Biden dropped out, they told me they could never support Harris. They just didn't like her.

Today they told me they've changed their minds and now they think she is good. They are really enthusiastic about Walz.

They help me level-set when I get too deep in my little Reddit/DCUM/podcast/Twitter bubble. I was really happy hear they are feeling good about this ticket.

Anyway, that's a data point of one.

Here's another data point of one - I live in a blue part of a red state. There's a guy in my area I see sometimes wearing a Trump shirt when he's walking his dogs.

A couple of months ago I told him it made me sad to see him wearing that shirt. Yesterday, I was talking to him again - and he said some of his friends have cut him off because he's supporting Trump. He actually thanked me for still being polite to him when I see him out with his dog. (It's for the dog.)
