According to the media it's now been a month since Kamala Harris launched her campaign and she is still to unveil any major policies. I guess for now she will ride the anyone but Trump wave. It's hard to remember any policies she's ever unveiled about anything.

She hasn't done a single interview and the media that she won't talk to is supporting her because it is anyone by Trump for a lot of people.

In 2019-2020 her agenda was far left (state run healthcare, embrace open borders, zero fossil fuels etc) because she thought that was the winning ticket. Fast forwarded to 2024 and she’s now playing to a different agenda because she knows the above is a loser!! These people are very dangerous but very difficult to stop!! I’m not sure what she knows or truly believes in but it’s clear the head of the Democrat ticket is there for show and nothing else!

I gather that she believes in equality - of the kind that takes from the rich and gives to the poor so that everyone is equal regardless of what someone might do to achieve their wealth.

Whilst being “anyone but Trump” is more than enough for many people she is much more than that. Being a “she” is an important one of them. Being much younger another. Not being one of the two choices in the last election another. Being a person of colour yet another. I doubt whether there will be too many big policy announcements. Steering the same steady course and avoiding major deviations will be the message.

All of the traits you mention have nothing to do with the competence of being the president of the US. Let’s not fool ourselves it’s a race between Trump and anyone but Trump! She is a very unqualified puppet which could backfire big time when the rubber meets the road! If Palace picked its manager on your criteria I could imagine the outcry!

There was enough of an outcry that our manager was too old when he was four years younger than the President.

We have had one since WW2 and we have had most Conservative governments over that time! No one wants “open borders”. That’s just a hard right slur! The managed withdrawal of the use of fossil fuels is an imperative if we are going to stand any chance of limiting the impact of man made climate change. Portraying that as a political choice is irresponsible nonsense. There ought to be universal consensus on the need to face up to such a threat. It’s not a far left, or far right matter.

That’s what I am talking about. Not whether it is actually relevant to competency. Edited by Wisbech Eagle (15 Aug 2024 10.41pm)

They aren’t but they are what a lot of people make their judgements on. If competency was the only criteria Trump wouldn’t even get in the door of the first primary. Harris actually has many more traits that mark her out as suitably qualified. As an advocate she is used to thinking fast and asking questions she already knows the answers to. Forget the character assassination attempts, she is actually pretty smart. She has sat in, and chaired, the Senate so knows how it works and how to find agreement. Trump has none of those things. He is a self righteous bully who listens to no one.
