Harris campaign lists policies on eve of debate after criticism of vagueness
FINALLY! Here's the Harris/Walz policy: https://kamalaharris.com/issues/
couple of points.
lovely that the site is likely to work for the lowest common denominator modern browser - I mean seriouly that could scare up a few hundred distracted voter ballots in a tight race.
I am not the target audience for this platform presentation, but it was clean, with tight easily digestible copy and smooth delivery. if I were an "undecided" but turned off by "those two wierd dudes", I could possibly see myself clicking with this.
so policy sparse, likable generic democrat it is - reasonable angle for her to take because I think she can actually ride the feelz into the whitehouse.
however, everyone disgusted by the last 44 years* of world history better have their hopium / copium handy.

Idk how you call it lite on detail:
https://kamalaharris.com/issues/
It has broad strokes across every issue but there are detailed specifics when you open the collapsible folds. Things like bringing back the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Expanding out to a newborn tax credit. Out of pocket maximums for seniors, increasing taxes on earners over 400k/yr - it all looks good to me.
I don't know how you can defend it as being detailed.
Vice President Harris will protect Social Security and Medicare against relentless attacks from Donald Trump and his extreme allies. She will strengthen Social Security and Medicare for the long haul by making millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share in taxes. She will always fight to ensure that Americans can count on getting the benefits they earned.
You're joking, right? Half it is just "will protect ____" with literally no detail whatsoever.
Hell yea, I fucking love tax credits!
yeah - agreed. thats why I am not the target audience. I want a little more wonkery in there (even if as just links in the text body) so I am probably an outlier.
as long as people agree that my initial read is a reasnable one (slick, with attractive shapes and edges) then its all good.
I have to say, it seems like the kamala-walz campaign has been near flawless on messaging so far and it feels like a facsimile of the Obama energy, not the same, but damn if it is not familiar.
I think the timing of this also also near perfect - close enough to the election for a sustained honeymoon and far enough away to effectively build brand and messaging. if kamala does.well in the debate, I really think the visible vote (polling data) continues to move to kamala.
Glad she mentions climate change, but nothing about dismantling the US military, which is an enormous polluter. Also the nuclear arsenal is a bigger threat to all life if earth. No mention of it.
Does she say anything about data privacy laws?
Oof, the "safety and justice" section says nothing about defunding police

Not even going to watch the debate. I don't want to see two conservatives fight about who can do more damage to the left than the other.
...perhaps if the moderator would actually ask important questions
Over/under on number of questions about Palestine is 0.5, I'm slamming that under
Yep, she's a conservative.
