With no actual solution to Americans’ most pressing problems on offer under the existing system, candidates for high office distract voters with cultural wedge issues.
Joy-nicide!
•
Kamala Harris says, in an echo of Joe Biden, that nothing will fundamentally change when it comes to U.S. funding and arming of Israel in its war against Gaza should she be elected president. But hey, at least the genocide will be carried out with an abundance of “joy.”
Your Thoughts Are Her Heartfelt Policy Positions
•
Kamala Harris is portraying herself as a blank slate by refusing to articulate issues other than those that appear to be popular after they were developed by Donald Trump. But her desire to be popular only goes so far.
The Value of Values
•
Confronted with her move from progressive to corporatist right-wing positions following her aborted 2020 primary campaign, Kamala Harris repeatedly countered that, though her policies had changed, her values had not. But she didn’t tell us what her values were.
Kamala Is Even Pro-Abortion Overseas
•
Abortion is currently the top issue for voters in the election. Maybe Kamala Harris can spin her support for Israel into a way to reinforce her pro-choice bona fides.
The Gaza War Is a Pass-Fail Course
•
As much as politicians like Kamala Harris would like it, it’s not possible to compromise on an issue as dramatic as Israel’s war against Gaza. Either you’re in favor of aiding and abetting Israel, or you are not.
The First Step Is Admitting You Have a Problem
•
Kamala Harris is pushing the tactic of copying a rival’s policy ideas to new levels. She copied Trump’s idea to get rid of taxes on tips, increase tariffs on China and even to build a border wall with Mexico. What next?
Kamala, We’ll Never Know Ye
•
Echoing Biden, Kamala Harris seems determined to go as long as possible into the general election without holding a press conference or granting a real interview to a journalist willing to challenge her deflecting answers to questions. Can she, like Biden, make it all the way through the presidency without any substantial interaction with the press?
