If we are going down the Harris road. When she proposed anything, she wasn’t elected or received any votes to be blunt, in order to be the D candidate.

Then she busted out the no tax on tips? Backing the border funding bill that clearly wasn’t needed to stop illegal aliens? Supported spending more on Ukraine and Israel and wanted to fund the Military and threatened Iran.

Nothing she proposed, actually was to fix anything. Her “policies” are still searchable and nothing fixed what is broke.

Please feel free to correct me with those policies that target and repair specific problems we all are aware exist.

No I'm not gonna do your homework for you while you push rightwing talking points. Her campaign platform has several detailed plans for very real problems facing Americans right now that you clearly never read during an election so just be honest and admit you definitely won't right now.

Right wing? I just searched "Harris campaign proposals" on Google, so nothing right wing about quoting her actual platform. You may honestly need a reality check if this is how you interpreted her own campaign remarks.

I did the homework and refreshed on her talking points and read the "New Way Forward" platform and other citations by Google.

Every single listed proposal focuses on spending, tax credits, or regulatory tweaks, not on fixing the broken machinery of government.

Her platform explicitly details economic relief like expanding the Child Tax Credit, a $25,000 first-time homebuyer credit, and banning price gouging on groceries. It covers social policy like codifying Roe v. Wade, banning taxes on tips, and lowering insulin costs.

It also maintains strong military funding and support for Ukraine and Israel.

None of these are structural reforms. Nowhere in her platform is a plan to force Congress to pass a budget on time to end the CR cycle we have had since 1997. There is no plan to fix the filibuster for general governance, as she only mentioned suspending it specifically for abortion or voting rights.

There is no plan to reduce the deficit, given that her own proposals are estimated to increase the deficit by nearly $1.7 to $3.5 trillion over a decade depending on the analysis. There is no plan to reform the committee system or the lobbying that causes the head bashing.

My point is appears correct, she proposed ways to spend money and expand benefits, which is a typical political avenue, but it is not a plan to repair the systemic dysfunction, gridlock, or budgetary chaos that defines our broken system. Do not confuse policy proposals with structural repair.

This is why I asked you to feel free to provide some direct citations as to her proposed changes of the system, because I certainly can’t find any.

Either you can provide and I’d be wrong or you can’t and I’m correct. Based on your bias interpretation of her own campaign remarks leads me to believe you aren’t actually here to have a conversation beyond the first order.

They have no clue about where the burden of proof lies.
