The Vice-President has answered few direct questions since becoming the presumptive nominee. This is probably good for her campaign, but not for voters.

As wildly different as Harris and Trump are, their campaigns seem to share a degree of indifference to the specifics of what their candidates are saying, because both campaigns realize that many of their voters are unconcerned about such details—or, at the very least, are unlikely to be moved by them. What matters to many voters right now is their hatred and fear, however justified, of the opposing candidate, and the fun they have calling the other side weird, dangerous, and deranged.

    Dude Biden went up at the debate and tried to fumble his way through explanations of how his record on working class progress was honestly pretty good

    And all everyone wanted to talk about was how he was clearly old as fuck

    I think Harris is doing what our brain damaged media landscape requests of her

        Better than literally any other president in living memory. Which is to say, still genocidal dogshit. He put sanctions on settlers, pushed for a ceasefire, paused weapons shipments to try to pressure them to stop killing, and then said aw what the hell and gave them $60 billion worth of weapons anyway.
