Platform Main article: Political positions of Kamala Harris Domestic issues Abortion Harris supports national protections for abortion, which were reversed after Roe v. Wade (1973) was overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022). Under the Biden administration, she prominently campaigned for abortion rights.[20]
Climate change Harris is an advocate for environmental justice to address the impact of climate change on lower-income areas and people of color. Under Biden, she supported his climate legislation.[20]
Immigration As vice president, Harris invested US$950 million into Central American companies to address the causes of mass migration, such as poverty. She supported a proposed bill which would close the border if too crowded and fund border patrol agents. She believes the immigration system is “broken” and needs to be fixed, and she says most Americans believe this.[20]
Foreign policy NATO and Ukraine Harris is expected and has signaled to generally follow Biden’s foreign policy on NATO and Ukraine, supporting both in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[20][21]
Israel–Hamas war Harris is noted to have tougher positions on Israel than Biden. She supported Israel’s offensive against Hamas in the aftermath of its attack on Israel, but criticized it throughout the war because of the Gaza humanitarian crisis. She also has been noted to be more allied to progressive Democrats who oppose Israel.[20][21][22] Under the Biden administration, she called for a ceasefire and pushed for more humanitarian aid.[23] Reports have said she is more sympathetic to Palestinians than Biden, though it is disputed whether she would immediately change policy.[24][25]
China Like Biden’s administration officials, Harris has advocated for “de-risking” from Beijing, a policy that encourages reducing the economic dependence on China.[26] She also raises the issues of Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan, etc., just like any other Democrat government, with the intention of curbing China’s rising power both economically and militarily.[27] Chinese social media does not look favorably on her candidacy,[28] and is more familiar with other candidates, such as Antony Blinken.[29] Chinese public opinion believes that she will lose to Trump.[29]

get she is not Trump but what does she bring to the table fair question
That’s a persuasive list and I like it. I like it more than Biden’s history at least where Israel & Palestine are concerned.
Dunno what issue you have with it, but if you’re going to reply directly TWICE to the main thread… Then it clearly bothers you.
it does bother me
feel Trump is bad enough not to need comments he does it himself but the democrats act like sitting back and giving lip service is enough
get progress takes time but it has been time a long time ago
and that list is it and she has not even posted anything her website
Imagine what would happen if the party listened to its membership more frequently.
Imagine if Hillary had spent a single day campaigning in Michigan in 2016!
1 of 3,573 imaginings.
Not saying she adequately campaigned for Michigan, but she did have a rally in Detroit in Nov. 2016.

here goes four more years down the shitter
just because Trump is a felon does not mean we need a prosecutor
has anyone here had to deal with a prosecutor firsthand before?
people that take away rights and imprisons them in deplorable inhumane conditions should not be a leader
Lord Trump’s balls
I wish to squeeze and eat
Like delicious
Tangerines.

just because Trump is a felon does not mean we need a prosecutor
lol what the fresh hell is this take. This has to be the first attempt at this weird rhetoric. Does that mean we need the felon?

Actually yeah, I got a ticket for running a red light in a weird non-permanent construction detour thing. I hadn’t expected the light to be there since it was on a highway and was part of an unusual u-turn. The cop was sympathetic and told me to go to the court to fight it, and there the prosecutor dropped the charge. I have seen that same court successfully prosecute traffic tickets even without officer testimony, so I was quite pleased.
Honestly even with how corrupt the justice system can be, I’m not sure you’re gonna find many people who have personally had bad experiences with a prosecutor, much less rational people who would choose someone convicted of 34 felonies over a prosecutor.
lol what the fresh hell is this take.
I heard this in some particularly leftist areas of the internet back in 2020 when Biden tapped her for VP. It’s not good, that’s for sure.
Some people even dug deep into her case record and found some really old cases they didn’t like. It’s just an attempt to keep the flames going against the DNC.
Harris is probably going to be the best candidate the DNC has nominated since 2008. I am personally thrilled.

Clinton and Biden aren’t exactly a high bar to clear.
Yeah in 2020 I didn’t like “Top Cop” Kamala Harris because that’s literally how she was marketing herself! I think 4 years in the VP seat have given her a lot of valuable experience with the job and I’m willing to be swayed by arguments that she’s moved leftward and softened on some of her policies regarding incarceration and crime. Sometimes seeing how the sausage is made, then getting some distance and perspective on things, can cause a person to turn their views around.
Anyway, at this point I’d much rather engage with the Top Cop prosecutor who at least seems to believe in the idea of law and society, over “Day One Dictator” Drowsy Donnie.
Better work harder man, otherwise Putin will send you to the front lines. I’m sure you and your fellow trolls have been working overtime to spin this news negatively. 🌻🌻🌻
Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about criminal justice.
Wow you’ve really been doing double time complaining about stuff all over lemmy. Do you have any thoughts that aren’t negative?
At least we now have a chance of avoiding 4 more years of trump.
Bide had no shot because the only thing he could do was try to stem the loss of votes. At least Harris has a chance of gaining support.
I’m hoping she’ll come out with a sharply different stance on the Gaza genocide, because Biden’s stance is straight up destroying the enthusiasm of the Arab American community in terms of getting their vote. They were a big part of why a bunch of states in the Midwest went for Biden, and his stance on Palestine is a very pointed kick in the teeth.
is there really anyone out there thinking “I care so much about genocide in Palestine that I think I’ll vote for Trump, I’m sure he’ll sort it out” ?
just because Trump is a felon does not mean we need a prosecutor
Sounds good to me!
Maybe she can put the felon where he belongs.
people that take away rights and imprisons them in deplorable inhumane conditions should not be a leader

The alternative is a guy who’s known for having rallies where his rabid followers chant about locking up political rivals.
has anyone here had to deal with a prosecutor firsthand before?
ahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah
Willing to bet she’ll obliterate him on the debate stage too.
This is what I’m most excited to see. Biden is a perfectly fine Democrat president but not a particularly great public speaker in terms of politicians. And the age certainly didn’t help. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump decides he doesn’t want to debate like he did back in 2020.
LOL, what a world. Just let that sink in that donnie being a convicted felon meant more donations. The right sure do have their kink.
