The Vice-President has answered few direct questions since becoming the presumptive nominee. This is probably good for her campaign, but not for voters.

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.

    he says dumb shit like:

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

    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.

      “wiki article of dubious quality”

      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.

          ‘fanboy’ dont label me. 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.

                oh, trying to sound reasonable, so cute…

                you just avoided most of my arguments, called the rest bullshit and tried to roleplay as local sheriff sending me “outta here”, but god forbid someone call you fanboy, nono, the line must be drawn here! 😂

                this whole thread is full of swarming furious fanboys angry that someone wasn’t hundred percent positive to their celebrity
