    I know this is one of the dumbest things to latch onto, but why do they keep talking about “Kamala Harris’s policies” like she’s the current president? If that were true, then Vance is a dementia addled lying sack of…

    Huh, I guess I answered my own question.

      Desperation, they really, REALLY wanted to run against Biden, where the age issue worked more for than against him.

      They know they are fucked, their only option left is to bang on the table.

      They want to try and pin some things that currently go on on her, because they assume, as the vice president, she could have some say in what the president does. The Orange Menace brought it up in the debate as well btw. 🙄

      However, there is not much to pin on. Everything the republicans care for is going relatively well, given the circumstances. So they’re making things up.

        I don’t think they assume she could have some say, I think it is just malice, a bad faith argument on their part. They know very well and also know that their base you eat it up because they already hate the other side, they just need something that resembles a reason.

        I think it’s also that they’re acting as though Harris is secretly running the show since Biden is, according to their narrative, too old and senile to lead. I fully expect if Harris wins that in 2028 they’ll sue her on term limits when she runs.

      It’s NOT one of the dumbest things to bring up.

      We thank you for an amazing question.
