Nope. Positive vibes are one thing, but at some point she will need an agenda to pitch and defend at a debate. I mean, Trump's just produced an all caps slogan agenda, so he's not big on the details either, but that's no excuse to follow suit.
 
I'll probably watch clips of her speech. Michelle Obama's was pretty good. The fact that Harris has never attempted a self coup seems like a positive thing.

She released a very substantive economic platform last week.

Well, the first three posts in response set a decisive tone as to how this thread ages.

Yep, but demanding (aka hoping) that others come up with a solution (a policy with details and an enforcement mechanism?) within the first 3.5 months of her administration is just a tad on the weak side. ;)

Since you’ll blame the next 76 days on Harris for whatever happens, she’s actually working with Biden and was on the phone with Bibi today.
 
Stupid poll.

I can't speak for ANYONE ELSE, but I am voting for Harris because of one thing: She is not Trump. The dems could run a three-toed sloth and my answer would be the same.

We know Trump's agenda. It's called Project 2025. Trump lies when he says it's not.

I think it's entirely dependent on how the polling looks. Dems can't pull off another nominee switch and Dems want to win.

So, if her polling builds enough (and then holds) for them to think her chances of winning are good, they'll do nothing new and refrain from rolling out policy or letting her talk on her own, beyond a VERY FEW of the most Harris friendly venues possible.

But, if that's not the case, they'll start to try to change or fix what they think is not working. Like, maybe they'll roll out policy or even risk having her speak on her own. So, plan B or C or whatever they feel they must do to try to help her polling.

Only giving more of anything if and when necessary.

Kenan Thompson pulled out the huge Project 2025 book on the DNC floor and read out the good parts.

Kamala’s policies have been on display since she was in congress. If you don’t know what they are you just don’t want to.

I think you're right and I heard today that the GOP plans to potentially put out a Harris policy doc, based on her own words and what she most recently said about a slew of topics. It will annoy her but if it's fair and it's her own words/statements, she won't have much to complain about. But she can certainly try to change/update anything included in it by doing the obviously unthinkable and using "her words" to dispute "her words".

I think Trump should debate Walz. Trump is not a gentleman and not fit to debate a woman.
 
"Kamala's not talking about policy lmao"

Meanwhile the Orange one is openly bragging about refusing to talk about policy in lieu of personal attacks and threatenimg advisors who ask him to stick to policy.

Republicans have lost all credibility.

Trump never seems to be held responsible for crap like this:

Trump falsely claims Harris campaign used AI to fake crowd in Detroit​

Trump falsely claims Harris campaign used AI to fake crowd in Detroit

Photos and videos show a large crowd attended a recent Kamala Harris campaign event in Detroit. Donald Trump falsely claims it was AI-generated.

How terrified do you have to be to lie about a campaign crowd? This is the republican candidate for president in a nutshell: a lying, insecure, malignant narcissist.
