As wildly different as Harris and Trump are, their campaigns seem to share a degree of indifference to the specifics of what their candidates are saying, because both campaigns realize that many of their voters are unconcerned about such details—or, at the very least, are unlikely to be moved by them. What matters to many voters right now is their hatred and fear, however justified, of the opposing candidate, and the fun they have calling the other side weird, dangerous, and deranged.

          Kamala is up against Trump. Running on vibes is not enough. It will start to fade. Earn the votes harder.

            Trump has no policy at all. He didn’t before his first term, and he doesn’t now. He just says whatever dumb shit he thinks of, and his cult followers want to hear.

            A coherent policy would you need to identify a cause and effect of something to even beging planning it. He doesn’t have that kind of mental acuity.

              Or look through the rest of my posts before picking a single REALLY GOOD article that you didn’t read because you only based this off the headline. Try again.

                Dude… everyone knows what you’re up to. You’re not as clever as you think. And to ask people to post shit for you in communities you’re banned from?

                man… You’re lucky you’re still here.

    Christ this article is tone deaf. Harris is all about policy. She’s literally the current Vice President, as in, she’s currently working to implement the policies of an administration. This author is acting like she’s somehow unheard of, and new.

      of an administration. biden’s, not hers.

      she can do 180 degree turn on every single issue from biden, if she so decides, so asking about HER policy is legitimate question.

        Literally is the Biden-Harris administration. She’s the VP, don’t pretend she’s not also working towards the goals of the same admin. WTF are you even talking about? Lolz

          so when, for example, biden says “lets bomb gaza”, she can say no? and then they flip the coin who wins, or how exactly does that work?

            Well that was never said, because the US didn’t bomb Gaza, and isn’t making judgement calls on behalf of the ISRAELI MILITARY.

            You’re confusing policy-as the article is attempting to make the topic-with absolute bullshit that never happened. One is different than the other.

              i am not confusing anything and you didn’t answer the question.

              she is doing what she is told. they don’t run the show by consensus and if she disagrees with him, she can’t overrule him. it is biden’s policy, not hers.

      is it at all possible that professional journalists work with primary sources, not wiki? which in itself is not primary source of information, just collection of links?

      which can be both unreliable, outdated, misinterpreted, and so on?

        Primary sources? This is an opinion piece, in which he says dumb shit like:

        “but the media, especially those of us who churn out opinions for a living”

        This is a professional Columnist, there different from Journalist.

          dumb shit like what? but the media what? there is no predicate, the sentence can’t be dumb, because it literally doesn’t say anything. what is your point?

          This is a professional Columnist, there different from Journalist.

          professional columnist is journalist as any other journalist, can be both good and bad.

          wiki is not place to go for presidential candidate policy, no serious journalist, columnist or not, goes to wiki for any information.

          pointing out that it is missing on the candidate’s web is right and countering with link to wiki article of dubious quality is moot.

            Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit, Wikipedia pages are not articles, Its a series of THINGS backed up with links to where that THING came from. I’ll Happily discuss any discrepancies you find on this page.

              there is no way to discuss any discrepancies because there is no up-to-date policy on harris’s website.

              so you be so nice and get the fuck out of here with your bullshit. being a fanboy doesn’t mean that wiki is where we should look for presidential candidate policy.

                  lol. after what you presented in this thread, this is what you have problem with? 😂

                  Otherwise you made your point quite clear, that Harris needs to update her website.

                  and it seems she will.

                  Harris also expressed support for raising the federal minimum wage. She told reporters earlier today that she would release her policy platform next week, with a focus on the economy and on lowering costs for working families.

      Send it to Harris’ campaign to upload to their website since there’s zero policy on her website.

      I remember plenty of presidential candidates who lost by running on policy, most recently Hillary Clinton.

      Obama (and for that matter Reagan) won because they inspired people, not because they were policy wonks.
