This is such a garbage take. So this author is trying to frame the debate that Harris is only offering pearl clutching about Trump while Trump is offering policies that actually affect voters? Why is this a binary choice?

Harris:

  1. Plans to build 3 million new homes and enact policies to reduce housing costs.
  2. Wants to enact price gouging protections so corporations no longer can use inflation as an excuse to chase record profits at the expense of consumers.
  3. Is willing to legalize marijuana
  4. Has a collection of benefits for small businesses to start and succeed (as opposed to giant corps).

Some of Trumps “Plans”:

  1. Wants mass deportations and violence
  2. Wants to rip $2 trillion out of the budget (there’s no way to do that without removing all healthcare and social security)
  3. Wants 100% tariffs which would explode inflation
  4. Thinks RFK Jr should be in charge of our health.

It’s pretty clear to me that you can vote on offense AND impact and not be torn between them.
