Even the Marxist New Republic Is Now Blasting Kamala Harris for Refusing to Say What She Even Believes In

Three days before the Times poll came out, amid growing consternation about her deliberate lack of a clear and detailed agenda, Kamala Harris's campaign announced a new policy--sort of. Harris, her campaign said, was no longer in favor of banning plastic straws.

Emphasis added for the humor value.

[...]
The campaign's strategy, it seemed, was to ride those good summer vibes and avoid the risk of an aggressive policy agenda that would expose her to criticism. But having too few policies is also risky, not least because it makes Harris look like she doesn't stand for anything (and also because her few policy stances then get nitpicked to death: Her price-gouging solution was roundly criticized by economists across the political spectrum, while her tip policy has come under fire because it was first taken up by Trump).
The Harris campaign is only now, belatedly, realizing that this is a problem. On Sunday, they finally added an "Issues" section to her website. It includes a slew of policies that the campaign has previously outlined, as well as sections on reproductive and civil rights. Unfortunately for Harris, its release was undermined by a simple but telling error: The page's source code revealed that parts of the platform were copied directly from Biden's campaign page.
This is dangerous territory for Harris, given that the Times poll found that more than 60 percent of voters wanted the next president to represent a "major change" from Biden--and only a quarter felt that Harris represented that change.

The New Republic wants Kamala were to announce her real positions, to commit herself out loud to Marxism. It's so obvious she's a far-left Marxist that even CNN has been reporting on it -- and troubled by it.

John Sexton:

What does Kamala Harris actually believe? I don't think anyone knows for certain but looking back over her run for president in 2019, it is striking how committed she seemed to be to Medicare for All at the time.

And yet, she also had significant trouble defending the plan, not just once but multiple times. She famously raised her hand, along with Bernie Sanders, when asked during a debate who would give up private insurance for Medicare for All. But the next day she was walking it back, claiming she was talking about her personal insurance...or something.
All of this is still very relevant because Harris has now abandoned Medicare for All, but it's still likely questions about her shifting position will come up during tonight's debate. In advance of that debate the Harris camp is doing its best, with the help of friendly media, to square the circle between what she was saying then and what she is saying now.

The Harris campaign and her White House office acknowledged that Harris's health-care positions have shifted since her last bid for the presidency. In interviews, officials said her previous support for Medicare-for-all and current pledge to build on private health insurance draw from a core conviction to expand health coverage and access to services....
Just look how hard the Washington Post is working to make her past position something that happened a long time ago and far, far away.

Harris's allies say that her Medicare-for-all plan -- to paraphrase their candidate -- didn't just fall out of a coconut tree. The 2019 proposal needs to be understood in the context of all that came before it.
First came a memorable town hall in August 2017 -- more than 2,500 days ago, and more than 2,500 miles away from Tuesday's debate stage -- where the freshman senator made a promise that would help shape her first presidential campaign.
There were two big problems with Medicare for All, one political and one practical. The political problem was that it would end private insurance, meaning everyone would lose the insurance they currently have. That was always unpopular. Harris did her best to talk around this problem in 2019, but she wasn't very convincing (see the videos below).
The other problem is practical. The cost of any Medicare for All program would be tens of trillions of dollars over 10 years. An estimate of the cost of Harris' 2019 plan produced last month put the cost in the realm of $44 trillion over a decade.

Kamala Harris claims -- wait, I mean anonymous, unnamed staffers claim on her behalf to her Media shills -- that "three and a half years of serving as Vice President have informed her position" -- but she also wants you to know that "my values haven't changed." Wink.

Here's Kamala Harris talking about her never-changing values:

Obviously, she also wants to pay for all medical needs of illegal aliens, too:

As you know, her Anonymous Unnamed Advisors are claiming, in whispers, that's she's abandoned a whole bunch of positions she won't commit to abandoning publicly.

Sexton again, quoting CNN's "KFile."

When asked about criminal justice reform on the questionnaire, she wrote she would end immigration detention facilities (along with private prisons). Harris also said she supported decreasing funding for ICE.
"Our immigrant detention system is out of control, and I believe we must end the unfair incarceration of thousands of individuals, families and children," Harris wrote. "I was one of the first Senators after President Trump was elected to advocate for a decrease in funding to ICE."

Sexton:

Harris also pledged to end the use of ICE detainers which allow the group to pick up criminals from a jail rather than trying to find them in neighborhoods. We have one recent example from New York City of how failing to honor these requests can leave the door open for criminals to carry out additional crimes.

When ICE sees an arrest of a wanted illegal alien eligible for deportation, they send a detainer -- a request for the local court of jail to hold the prisoner so that ICE can pick them up and deport them. The definition of a Sanctuary City is refusing to honor these requests. (The feds cannot force local police to do their bidding because of federalism, they can only request.)

Kamala Harris has committed to ending ICE detainers at the federal level -- ICE can never even ask for prisoners to be held to be picked up for deportation. Even when it comes to cooperative jurisdictions.

In other words: Harris wants to make the US a Sanctuary Nation.

Of course she has repeatedly backed the radical black anarchist Defund the Police movement.

KFile again:

Vice President Kamala Harris voiced support for "defund the police" in a radio interview in June 2020 amidst nationwide protests for police reform, just months before denouncing the movement after she had joined the Biden presidential campaign.
Harris said in the June radio interview the movement "rightly" called out the amount of money spent on police departments instead of community services such as education, housing, and healthcare, emphasizing that more police did not equate to more public safety.
"This whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities," Harris said on a New York-based radio program "Ebro in the Morning" on June 9, 2020, adding that US cities were "militarizing police" but "defunding public schools."

Ed Morrissey adds:

Nor is that the only example cited by CNN. They also mention Harris' praise for then-mayor Eric Garcetti's decision to cut $150 million from the chronically underfunded budget of the Los Angeles Police Department in the immediate wake of the George Floyd riots. At the same time, Harris went on Good Morning America on June 9, 2020 to defend the Defund the Police movement, and attack its critics as spreading "fear" about rethinking the public-safety paradigm. Harris told Stephanopoulos that schools and jobs would mean less need for police, and explicitly endorsed Garcetti's LAPD budget cut...

But whatever, some unnamed anonymous aides whisper to Dana Bash that "three and a half years serving as vice president" have now informed her and caused her position to shift in a completely-undefined way.

She's literally playing a game of "You can't criticize me for that position, because that's not my position anymore" then when you ask what her position is, she says "Nyah, nyah, I'm not telling, you'll have to guess, but don't bother guessing, because that's wrong too."

Here's further evidence "her values haven't changed:" Her campaign hired the environmental extremist who wants to ban all gas stoves.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has a new "climate engagement director": Camila Thorndike, a veteran figure in the far-left climate movement who has suggested she will not have children over fear of climate change and most recently worked for a group at the center of efforts to ban gas stoves.
Thorndike served for two years in various senior positions at Rewiring America, a climate-focused nonprofit that has advocated for the United States to rapidly electrify its entire economy--from the transportation and manufacturing sectors, to the residential and power sectors--according to her LinkedIn profile. In her role with the Harris campaign, she will be tasked with ginning up support for Harris from climate activists.
Thorndike has also promoted the idea that fear of climate change is a good reason to avoid having children. In 2022, for example, she told the Washington Post that she is hesitant to have a child out of "love for my hypothetical child" and because she wants to "protect them from suffering."

Harris FINALLY posted policy positions on her website and... Wouldn't you know...

She copied and pasted them DIRECTLY from Biden's website.

She does NOT represent "CHANGE", that much is now OBVIOUS, but this also proves that she has ZERO, not ONE original thought that she has ever come up with herself.

Does anyone want more of what the last 3.5 years has brought? The answer is no.

Kamala Harris is an incompetent, PAINFULLY unqualified candidate. Period, end of story.

73 In 2022, for example, she told the Washington Post that she is hesitant to have a child out of "love for my hypothetical child" and because she wants to "protect them from suffering."

Portland high schools periodically have administration-approved walkouts during school hours to "protest climate change", rallying downtown or at a nearby park.

The student speakers at these rallies make it clear that they believe that they, personally, will die from "climate change", if industrial society is not quickly dismantled.

This is obviously what they are told in schools.

107 This is one of the most consequential days in American history.

If Harris "wins" the election, the crackdown will be rapid and severe - like after Keir Stamer won in Britain, when arresting people for their political beliefs in Britain immediately ratcheted upwards by a factor of at least a hundred, and continues to shoot upwards.

Kamala is on a path to lose so badly that any claim that she "won" would lack all plausibility.

Her only chance is that her staff and ABC News have cooked up something for the debate to completely turn this election around - but she still needs to successfully execute whatever scheme they've dreamed up.

151 Appetizer:

It's preposterous that the sitting US Vice President should spend even one second “debating” a sociopathic malignant narcissist who has been found guilty of sexual abuse and 34 felony counts - in addition to absconding with classified documents and attempting a coup in plain sight.

Every level of government and all agencies have failed to hold one treasonous individual accountable and off the presidential stage.

the M$M has set the bar so low they are actually OK with this criminal sex offender taking the reins -- it is mind-numbing and disturbing.

MAGA and MAGA-adjacent GOPers failed America during the 2nd Impeachment trial. It's on their heads if he manages to win.

McConnell had the power to convict Trump after the second impeachment, barring Trump from running for public office again.

Garland waited way too long to assign a special prosecutor to go after Trump for J6.

SCOTUS failed to disqualify Trump under the 14th amendment insurrection clause, and gave Trump unconstitutional immunity. If I had the power, I'd outlaw the Republican Party.

152 I'm curious why this person thinks "formerly Mormon" is important to mention here. Is it because Mormons are typically fairly conservative? We're all supposed to be Trump fans?
Posted by: bonhomme at September 10, 2024 06:31 PM (Odg76)

I think the implication is that Mormons are religious weirdos and they don’t have any experiences with “culture” outside their bubble, so as a former Mormon, the person is going into the experience blind with only possibly some preconceived notions about how the thing was evil and sinful and gets to be pleasantly surprised when it is an enjoyable experience.

Based on what I've seen, most "former Mormons" who grew up in the Church just ... become nothing. They don't typically find a new church or even any sort of philosophy. Depending on how bitter they are about it, they might become cranks who post weird lies online about it.

My sister in law likes to make up weird facts about the Church and complain about it. She says things like, "In the Church, I was always taught I shouldn't speak in front of a man or ever disagree with him." My wife, who also grew up in the Church and went to all the same classes with the same leaders can assure you none of that happened.

i don’t think taylor swift is a republican but i do think she’s an out of touch democrat billionaire who believes that you can separate politics from relationships because she will be protected from everything
(Also, she's gay so she's a member of the "gaylor" fan group.)

mimi @watchinwisteria
to all my POC & marginalized swifties who are struggling with seeing Taylor with Brittany, I see you, and I am with you, and I love you.

I guess Taylor's known for giving an eff you to people who try to determine who she can be friends with. Days after they tried to cancel Blake Lively, she threw her a huge party at one of her mansions.

252 Some interesting (I think) economic news in gamer world. Ubisoft's Star Wars: Outlaws has created quite the controversy. Allegedly, Ubisoft's stock price has collapsed because of the poor reception of Outlaws leading to a shareholder revolt seeking to toss current management and convert the company from publicly traded to privately owned. Ubisoft is a well established and long (40 years) established game publisher. Reaction to Outlaws was brutal due in large part, I believe, to an organized hate campaign. Initially, there were more one star consumer reviews than game sales. I'm playing it and I would rate it 8 out of 10. Some legitimate criticism I have heard include price, similarity to other Ubisoft games, and excessive stealth. I bought three (two for my daughters) at $38. It doesn't seem terrible to me. Ubisoft often uses a formula which I like. Large, colorful, beautiful (semi) open worlds with skill trees to help you progress and a bunch of stuff to do besides just combat. This game is heavy on stealth. If you don't like that, don't buy it.

My guess is that if this game, with relatively minor variations, been Lara Croft In Space or Deep Space, it would have avoided much of the vicious commentary but instead they paid a huge licensing fee to use Star Wars and Disney has so pissed in the Star Wars porridge that they were actually paying to incur fans' anger.
Meanwhile, Ubisoft's next big game will be Assassin's Creed: Shadows with the black samurai in medieval Japan, also likely to incur anti-woke anger. Ubisoft who, in my opinion, is producing a quality product, has gone woke, may go broke.
P.S. I'll probably buy Shadows since Assassin's Creed is one ofmy all time favorite IPs.

259 Trump's support is pretty locked in. They've thrown everything at him for 8+ years and his support has only gotten stronger. He's a known entity and even if he has an off night nobody is going to leave him for Harris.

The pressure is entirely on Harris. She's a complete fraud and her 4 years have been a disaster. The only reason she is in the race is because they couldn't hide Joe's dementia any longer and the media is running her campaign and she's still trailing.

Tulsi ended her 2020 campaign in less than 2 minutes on the debate stage. I doubt she's improved.

262 “I think she will be quick on her feet. She will know the facts and be able to marshal the facts in support of her argument. The challenge for the vice president is twofold. One, sometimes knowing the facts too well gets in the way of giving the broader vision, letting people get to know you and seeing the more human side of you. You are at risk of coming across with a laundry list of facts and that’s not what people are looking for.”

“The other challenges the bar for her is so much higher because the bar for Trump is so low. He will lie and bluster. He will be Trump. Because people don’t expect better and they won’t expect better of him, but it’s an opportunity for Kamala to show her human side and at the same time she has to hold him accountable for his lies. She has to show a sense of humor if the questions yield to that and, to put him in his place if he is being obnoxious. That’s a lot to accomplish.”

269 The problem of paying for Medicare for All will be solved by using an SEP field. For those of you unaware of an SEP field, it stands for Someone Else's Problem field. When you encounter a nasty, pain in the ass problem but one which is Someone Else's Problem, that problem almost magically becomes invisible. You can walk by such a problem for weeks, months, even years without 'seeing' it because it is "Someone Else's Problem!"

As long as the field remains powered, the problem remains "Someone Else's Problem" essentially invisible. Various federal government cabinet departments have been contacted for the construction of the SEP field but each has claimed it is "Someone Else's Problem". The FBI suggested that ex-President Trump stole all the SEP fields when he left the Whitehouse and has initiated a new investigation while the Department of Justice has appointed a new Special Prosecutor. To avoid all the problems encountered with Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, this new Special Prosecutor will not be identified.

I see some news that the stealth missions you needed to do would instantly fail a lot. This could cause some disgruntlement. Sales records vs reviews could just be all the betas/publicity review copies scattered around.
