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.

Kamala is up against Trump. Running on vibes is not enough. It will start to fade. Earn the votes harder.

Christ this article is tone deaf. Harris is all about policy. She’s literally the current Vice President, as in, she’s currently working to implement the policies of an administration. This author is acting like she’s somehow unheard of, and new.

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?

is it at all possible that professional journalists work with primary sources, not wiki? which in itself is not primary source of information, just collection of links?

which can be both unreliable, outdated, misinterpreted, and so on?

Primary sources? This is an opinion piece, in which he says dumb shit like:

“but the media, especially those of us who churn out opinions for a living”

This is a professional Columnist, there different from Journalist.

“but the media, especially those of us who churn out opinions for a living”

dumb shit like what? but the media what? there is no predicate, the sentence can’t be dumb, because it literally doesn’t say anything. what is your point?

This is a professional Columnist, there different from Journalist.

professional columnist is journalist as any other journalist, can be both good and bad.

wiki is not place to go for presidential candidate policy, no serious journalist, columnist or not, goes to wiki for any information.

pointing out that it is missing on the candidate’s web is right and countering with link to wiki article of dubious quality is moot.

Send it to Harris’ campaign to upload to their website since there’s zero policy on her website.
