    I wish we’d get a candidate that didn’t run purely on hey look how shitty trump is. It’s so lazy and barely worked last time.

      Finding out more about her is very easy, your lack of knowledge does not equal a lack of information

      This is what happens if your only source of news is Reddit and Lemmy. Just watch any of her extensive interviews and rallies and you will get a whole lot more.

        And yet, when she was served up an easy gimme question at the last town hall debate, she shied away and waffled about bipartisanship.

        CAROL NACKENOFF, POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR AT SWARTHMORE COLLEGE: Good evening… My question is this: if you could accomplish only one major policy goal that required congressional action, what would it be, and why?

        HARRIS: Well, there’s not just one. I have to be honest with you, Carol. There’s a lot of work that needs to happen.

        But let’s – let’s – I think that maybe part of this point that – I how I think about it is we’ve got to get past this era of politics and partisan politics slowing down what we need to do in terms of progress in our country. And that means working across the aisle.

        It doesn’t though. She states what she wants to do, but not how she will do them. Because she doesn’t know how things work. She says she’s cutting taxes, but then talks only about child tax credits. Sorry, tax credits is not the same as cutting taxes, and the credits she’s talking about doesn’t help everyone, just parents and business owners. How will she cut taxes? It never says.

      She has a platform, proposed policies, lots of positive working class messaging, and tons of other stuff.

      She is not only running on look how shitty Trump is. That is just the part that gets attention.

                I don’t like to be told to read something by people who don’t have any reading comprehension.

                She has a platform in the sense that she has a bunch of shit she’s willing to say after a political career of being willing to say literally fucking anything. “It’s just a debate hahaha!”

                Oh wait. Did she actually say she’d raise the minimum wage to 15 dollars an hour and you believed her? Did the woman that illegally kept marijuana offenders in prison after the feds directed her to release them in order to use them as slave labor tell you that she’d legalize marijuana AND YOU BELIEVED HER??

                Is that why you’re so credulous to every astroturfed line that comes out of their bot farm? You’re just stupid like that?

                    I’m not a fan of hers, nor am I credulous to everything she says. But I acknowledge that she has a platform

                    Doublethink

                    To be clear

                    Good thing pedantry exists or you wouldn’t have something to correct me about

        And yet during the q&a she fumbled so hard because all she could say is “Trump bad”, going so far as to avoid every question. Shit like “if you could push anything through the Congress, what would be the one primary issue you would choose?”. Literally there on the plate. But she didn’t answer, instead saying “all of them are important”. She said that Trump’s wall was a good idea. When asked if she’d be for appointing more judges to the Supreme Court, she said she wants to reform it but she doesn’t know how and needs to do research. Of course no change re: Palestine. She even said that now that Sinwar is dead, there will be peace in Palestine. And then she said that people who see Palestine as an important issue will still vote for her because of the price of groceries. And then kept talking about Trump. And then when asked if she would support Israel more than Trump would, she again avoided the question, and again defaulted to “Trump bad”.
