Kamala Harris campaign posts policy positions on website after criticism
Vice President Kamala Harris has been criticized for not having her policy positions prominently available on her website, but that ended Sunday.The media and some conservatives have suggested Harris is relying on "vibes" instead of listing her specific positions on issues facing our nation. But her...

Here's the page. There's moments of specifics, and moments where I wish there was a bit more detail. But overall, now people shouldn't be able to say she doesn't have any policy positions. They still will though.

It's not that she doesn't have them, it's that she used to have better positions.

"Post your positions already!"
Posts positions
"Ugh, I can't believe she posted her positions ..."
It's fair to ask for the positions, and fair to criticize the positions, the piece just reads like they are peturbed either way.
-
the US corporate media is run by a bunch of right wing billionaires, I don't think fairness is ever going to be in the cards.
-
They just don't like Harris and they don't have any reason why that they can talk about in public.

WOW LOOK AT THESE POLLS sponsored by draft kings

It felt like the authors of the article accurately pointed out how skewed mainstream media's portrayal is. I appreciate that.

We can have a policy based debate when the Republicans nominate a non-fascist candidate. Until then it doesn’t really matter.
-
It is crazy how it took criticism for this to even happen. Someone you're voting for should be able to list what their actual platform and agenda is. It helps to have it for record if you actually plan to attempt to hold these people in power accountable and not be on some weird parasocial worshiping stuff.

the corporate media will never hold both parties to the same ballpark standard but like trump has pointedly denied involvement in project 2025 and he's not once talked about a policy grounded in reality, but the point is this isn't unusual its like the standard playbook. The only reason they went after Kamala on it is they don't like her.
Voters should expect policies, like you said. Its crazy this is allowed in the first place and the media enables it.
-
The media has been awful when it comes to Trump and letting him set and control the conversation. He has made it so normal just to lie without pushback. I could understand to some extent why listing a platform feels pointless.

In fact, I'd say that's all they can do. No more advertising. You get a gvt funded web site where you post your resume and positions.
-
Indeed. This applies to both parties, though.

After criticism. Who the fuck cares. Only repubs. I want to know her policy too, but it's not like I think she's been dodging. They took time to craft it. Whatever, gotta be fair to both sides.

It only took her two months to figure out what her policies are 😂 I was wondering if she'd solidify her platform going into the debate or just talk about vibes like she did at the DNC. Looks like she'll be focusing on the issues, thankfully.
-
She has had policies available since the DNC. Literally the Democratic platform, it's like a 90 page document.
-
Isn't that the DNC platform? It doesn't mean that's what she'll run on, it just means that's what most Democrats supported by the party support. That's like saying Trump's platform is 2025 😂

And it's platitude riddled bullshit. Absolute waste of time.

What are you talking about? The first paragraph in is showing clear policy points to achieve objectives. Do you think you'll get bill numbers or something here?
-
Your username is known around here already. You think any person in politics who isn't doing EXACTLY as you think they should do is making concessions and pandering, but you're wrong. You're not voting for her anyway, so why even bother commenting here?

To be clear, it's not the job of voters to be cheerleading sycophants for "team".
Lemmy doesn't really have a strong grasp of the importance of not supporting politicians or parties blindly. It's important to be critical of them, their policies, their approach, everything.
We didn't give ourselves a shot in this election carrying water blindly. In fact, those who were (the downvoters to op's comment) were enabling and empowering Trump. In-fact Lemmy moderation even went as far as enacting bans to support this narrow and now demonstrated to be wrong approach to electoralism. What gave us a shot this cycle was a small cohort making a difficult but obvious point that we need to hold our candidates accountable, and if they aren't acceptable, to reject them.
So I haven't looked at the policies, but it's awful late. It sounds like OP thinks they are vague. This was a real problem that we learned under Obama is that we can't trust them to follow through with things in spirit; we need it in ink, or ideally in blood. Harris is clearly campaigning to the right and looking for Republicans rather than the left to carry her through. This has been shown to be a repeatedly terrible electoral strategy since 2012.
