Fox News has been bleating about lack of policies for about 6 weeks now.
OK, so now let’s have a policy debate.

Hopefully someone has brains in her advisory because beating Trump is easy. Hopefully this news means she is going to do what I want and she will destroy Trump
1. Ignore Trump and act like he isn’t even on stage.
2. Answer each question with policies and with her articulation skills this is easy for her.
Trump likes to attack and it causes his opponents to spend time defending and getting off topic and it’s a tactic he uses so he doesn’t have to answer any questions at all. It happened with Biden and he got a pass.
If Kamala doesn’t acknowledge him he will just be a bumbling buffoon not answering questions.
Please if anyone on her team is scrolling Reddit use this it’s an easy win

November 6, I hope everyone realises that debating a policy that is not associated with Trump or endorsed by Trump is not a way to win an election.

Here comes the moving of the goal posts

So nothing on Gaza/WB and she still wants to move to the right on the border with Republicans. And she still has that stupid ass no taxes in tips pandering bullshit.
Nothing on healthcare as a right, nothing on ending student loans, nothing on lowering interest rates. Just more subsidies for pharmaceutical companies to lower medication prices. She needs to take them to task, not give them more money.
Got it. So she’s just a right wing Democrat. There goes any enthusiasm I had.
Go ahead and vote me down Blue MAGA. I’ve seen what you cheer for.

Trump: “we want to return abortion rights to the states!”
Republican governors when abortion bills get voted on: “no no, not like that.”
Vote people. We need overwhelming blue representation at **all** levels to help fix this mess

Oh man, what will maga scream and cry about now that she’s done a sit down interview and has her policy positions in a place where everyone can access them?

It’s a good move. Most folks want to know her position on things and what she’s planning to do once elected. Getting this down on paper fulfills those wants. It also places her VASTLY ahead of Trump who has no agenda and is incredibly wishy-washy on every single talking point ever brought up. Instead, he just rambles. In stark contrast Kamala has high clarity and vision. This also stabilizes her talking points, and it prevents opposition insinuating the opposite. She put it on paper. If it says “I’m strong on the border, and here’s my 6 point plan for that.”, it leaves little for counter argument or narrative of being weak on the border. She can detail this out as far as she wants to leave no room for suggestion otherwise.
Equally, she can counter argue that Trump is extremely vague on topics, has no stance on anything, and bring up every topic he’s ever flopped on, including most recently abortion.

Interesting strategy…
My first thought is, wouldn’t this give the Trump Campaign valuable information ahead of the debate that Trump could use against Harris? Why not put this out on the night of the debate? Unless…her policy is simply that ironclad and Trump literally has none, therefore it just shows the difference in caliber here. Trump is a slingshot, she’s a nuclear payload headed straight at Project 2025.
