Here’s the page. There’s moments of specifics, and moments where I wish there was a bit more detail. But overall, now people shouldn’t be able to say she doesn’t have any policy positions. They still will though.
It’s not that she doesn’t have them, it’s that she used to have better positions.

I agree that she’s not as progressive as I wish she was. But the overton window is stuck on a fascist dictator, so I’m going to vote for Kamala and we’ll call that progress.
Absolutely. We’ll get the status quo and we’ll like it.
We’re at the restaurant. The waiter is walking towards the table. The menu is in front of you. It’s the dry chicken, or a rusty fork in your eye. Those are the choices. You don’t have to like it, but you will choose or the choice will be made for you. You can complain to the chef, but if you don’t order the dry chicken, you will get the rusty fork stabbed into your eye. You can demand we go to a better restaurant next time, but right now you’re either going to eat some dry chicken and look for ways to make the best of that situation, or someone is going to stab your eye with a mangled fork that is almost certainly covered in tetanus.
When Harris is President, and Trump is in jail, we shall discuss the next election. Until then, you’re either with Harris or you’re with Trump.
Remember, this is what Conservatives are good at. They don’t bitch and moan that their candidates aren’t perfect. They bitch and moan that reality isn’t what they want, and consistently demand that politicians cater to their brand of narcissism. Conservatives have installed acolytes at every level of government, in every judicial system across the country, on every school board and election board. They have achieved this by unwavering devotion to make the world benefit themselves at every turn. They have lost more battles than they have won, but they don’t need to win every time. They just need reasonable people to grow tired and give in a little. That’s how you end up controlling six Supreme Court Justices, two of the three most populous states, and most of the religious institutions in the country.
There is never going to be a time when people get a better choice lol. This has been the same song and dance of the lesser evil for 40+ years. There people celebrating the endorsement of Dick Cheney. This country is cooked. I get denying the Trump admin. But better is never happening.
And it’s platitude riddled bullshit. Absolute waste of time.
Your username is known around here already. You think any person in politics who isn’t doing EXACTLY as you think they should do is making concessions and pandering, but you’re wrong. You’re not voting for her anyway, so why even bother commenting here?
I may not be bothering to vote. But I reserve the right to complain.
Fear not. If she fucks around and loses ill talk mad shit about chump too.
Well that’s your prerogative. You can’t move politicians if you just hand off your leverage.
Handing off leverage would be the ones that hate everything that Democrats stand for, but will still vote for them. Those are the same people that said they would push Biden left after the election, when all they did was go to brunch. their failure to make even attempts at pushing left has resulted in right wing authoritarianism being on the menu.
It is crazy how it took criticism for this to even happen. Someone you’re voting for should be able to list what their actual platform and agenda is. It helps to have it for record if you actually plan to attempt to hold these people in power accountable and not be on some weird parasocial worshiping stuff.
the corporate media will never hold both parties to the same ballpark standard but like trump has pointedly denied involvement in project 2025 and he’s not once talked about a policy grounded in reality, but the point is this isn’t unusual its like the standard playbook. The only reason they went after Kamala on it is they don’t like her.
Voters should expect policies, like you said. Its crazy this is allowed in the first place and the media enables it.
The media has been awful when it comes to Trump and letting him set and control the conversation. He has made it so normal just to lie without pushback. I could understand to some extent why listing a platform feels pointless.
