How Generic Can Kamala Harris Be? - eviltoast
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.

    She’s literally the current Vice President, as in, she’s currently working to implement the policies of an administration.

    of an administration. biden’s, not hers.

    she can do 180 degree turn on every single issue from biden, if she so decides, so asking about HER policy is legitimate question.

      Literally is the Biden-Harris administration. She’s the VP, don’t pretend she’s not also working towards the goals of the same admin. WTF are you even talking about? Lolz

        so when, for example, biden says “lets bomb gaza”, she can say no? and then they flip the coin who wins, or how exactly does that work?

          Well that was never said, because the US didn’t bomb Gaza, and isn’t making judgement calls on behalf of the ISRAELI MILITARY.

          You’re confusing policy-as the article is attempting to make the topic-with absolute bullshit that never happened. One is different than the other.

            i am not confusing anything and you didn’t answer the question.

            she is doing what she is told. they don’t run the show by consensus and if she disagrees with him, she can’t overrule him. it is biden’s policy, not hers.
