Would Harris be turning tariffs on and off randomly like a light-switch?

Would Harris be ordering ICE to deport innocent people?

Would Harris sign the so-called "big beautiful bill" tax cut to the wealthy?

Would Harris appoint horribly unqualified TV hosts to run our government?

Would Harris cut aid off to Ukraine and ambush Zelenskyy and other world leaders in the white house?

Would Harris be trying to end temporary protected status to people who may get killed if they go back to their home country?

Would Harris have her own meme coin that she uses to accept bribes?

It's important to note that we're speculating for the most part, because Kamala didn't make any equivocal statements or release a platform until two weeks before the election, but I do find it laughable when someone pretends Democrats are not right-wing.

Would Harris be turning tariffs on and off randomly like a light-switch?

No, but she'd continue to allow her golf buddies to price gouge you for everything from food, to electricity, to rent and stand idly by while you're evicted and criminalized for being homeless.

Would Harris be ordering ICE to deport innocent people?

Yes. In fact, Tom Homan was an Obama appointee. Democrats refusing to stand up for immigrants, both in the campaign and during Biden's presidency, is why we're in the situation we are now.

Would Harris appoint horribly unqualified TV hosts to run our government?

No. She'd appoint very smart, but also very fascist corporate people to run it, and those same people would be pushing for the same wars we're seeing now. (Just not leaking info about it on Signal.)

Would Harris be trying to end temporary protected status to people who may get killed if they go back to their home country?

If it were politically convenient, absolutely she would. But more likely she'd just stand by and do nothing while cops continue to murder innocent people and build cop cities.

Would Harris have her own meme coin that she uses to accept bribes?

No. She'd take her bribes in the traditional way: $100,000 'speeches' and PAC donations. Her campaign raised billions and still ended up in $20,000,000 in debt. It was making illicit money for a lot of people.

This article says that Harris's campaign platforms were released in early September which is more than two weeks away from the election.

https://thehill.com/...

Article says:

The Harris campaign site’s section on the economy outlines proposals to cut taxes for middle class families; make rent more affordable and homeownership more attainable; grow small businesses and invest in entrepreneurs, among other sections. And, it ends with a contrast to “Trump’s Project 2025 agenda,” which it argues would “jack up prices.”

This contradicts:

No, but she’d continue to allow her golf buddies to price gouge you for everything from food, to electricity, to rent and stand idly by while you’re evicted and criminalized for being homeless.

Ya know... I used to be this binary in my thinking. For example, I naively opposed harm reduction measures, such as needle exchanges and safe injection sites. Aaaaand I'd like to congratulate drugs for winning the War on Drugs.

Yes, we need to fight for a better world, better candidates, and better leadership in all things. But JFC, stop fighting last year's fight.

I too want 100% progressive governance. Just a little bit of history and psychology reading demonstrates what you're doing right here, along with the intractability, is categorically NOT how we get there. Just like the Overton Window slowly shifted since the 70s to the fascist US shitshow we have today, we need to work to shift the window back.

InB4: yeah, history also generally indicates bloodshed is inevitable in these cases, so we're kinda in uncharted territory.

I understand the sentiment. I agree with the justified contempt for the DNC and Democratic Party. Let's light a candle rather than curse the darkness.
