Essentially everybody in the cabinet will be a rapist in one form or another. This is a given since people elected a child rapist into office. It simply won’t matter. Instead, ask the question what Gaetz will do in office that is bad for voters. Playing on the man cannot help us anymore.

Anybody chosen by Trump is expected to be a horrible person. This type of reporting is useless since it will not change a single mind. Tell us why the policy positions of this guy are bad for the US, instead of telling us what we already know.

Right… show one electable Dem candidate who said this. I get so tired of this fucking shit conflating what a few voters said with what a candidate for office says. It’s the Trump campaign that wants to denaturalise citizens and deport them. Deportation has not ever been part of the Democratic platform. You cannot equate what a few people on an anonymous discussion forum say with the words of the elected president.

Latinos have been a huge concern for the Dems since 2020, as they supported Biden to a far lesser extent than HRC. They may have done a bad job at targeting them, but no way the campaign took them for granted.

While this may be correct, it is worth pointing out that NATO member states (especially those on front lines) host soldiers from other NATO states. That means Americans would be in Ukraine (as they are currently in e.g. Estonia). The EU does not have a similar military component.

She backed a plan to raise the minimum wage to 15 dollars. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/kamala-harris-says-us-must-raise-federal-minimum-wage-2024-10-21/

The much bigger issue I see is that policy choices are simply not communicated by the media. Half of this discussion complains about Kamala not adopting policies that were in fact in her platform. Only stories about the horse race and Trump outrage make the news (even in this community which is supposed to focus on policies). How can you get your message across in such a media environment?

That was a legitimate weak point. Trump said no tax on tips and she just added that same plan to her platform instead of calling out that i.) Trump was not going to follow through and ii.) raising the minimum wage is much better than removing the tax on tips.

How the F does Trump get away with “concepts of a plan” while she should have the exact metrics in place for a very complex new policy. Are you seriously claiming that she would have attracted more voters if only she had been more precise about how to solve price gouging?

Can you give an example of Kamala saying that? I know Biden did, but I am pretty sure the campaign attempted to avoid this messaging.

I don’t understand. There is no strategy to pass legislation with a hostile (read GOP) congress. Should she only have campaigned on plans that the GOP agrees on?

Building new homes was part of the campaign plan right?
