And this is why Kamala would have never won a primary and has given exactly one unscripted interview since being handed the nomination without the public’s say
The question was asking for specific ways she would lower prices 🙃
She has no platform, other than vague “read into what you want” platitudes and serving corporate donors
Make sure to vote for Harris though because Trump.
As a candidate, she can’t just come out and say it’s already being worked on. It’s already in the news anyway. Any answer here would have been attacked in the same way.
“The FTC already has cases against some of the largest corporate monopolies in this country”
“We’re investigating collusion of the largest conglomerate companies producing our food staples.”
“The companies who are raising these prices are using anti-competitive measures to ensure prices stay inflated, and we’re already working to ensure this stops.”
All of these answers are exactly things that have been said before, and nobody cares. It does move the needle. She is giving answers that will hopefully move the needle. This is politicking on a national level, not a town hall.
Did you watch the clip of her answer? https://x.com/PatTheSocialist/status/1834812242937643081
Yes, but my response still explains whatever untoward thing you think is happening.
I’m going to say something that I don’t mean to be dismissive or insulting to you, because you and I exchanged words plenty around here, and I like that you bring some non-echoey content around. I appreciate you for that…but…
You can’t expect any real candidates who want to win to be an open book. This is US politics. Even the people you may find to be a moral center on some issues will still have to fudge the facts or give non-answers that ramble on in order to appeal to an absolutely monumental widening gap of groups of people who are becoming more and more siloed off in their beliefs and stances. Just because Harris is better than Trump, you can’t expect to get all the other bullshit out of the way and get an open book candidate. Any person running who claims to be totally truthful is lying, and anyone who thinks they are the best of the best is an idiot. The appeal needs to be for the widest audience you can muster, or it’s over.
Not every meal you eat is going to the best, or even better than the last, but you’ll deal. At this point in time in the election arena, Harris is what we have against a terrible, terrible alternative.
