Not even Kamala Harris’ biggest fans can say what the flip-flopping VP stands for
NY Post ^ | 9/01/24 | George Caldwell, Victoria Churchill, Victor Nava

Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris are rallying behind her campaign despite admitting that they can’t say where she stands on most big issues – as the Democratic nominee continues to flip-flop on major policies.

Harris, 59, has reversed her stances on energy issues, health care and illegal immigration since replacing President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, in an apparent effort to make herself more electable to moderates in key swing states.

Harris’ abandoned policy positions include her pledges to eliminate private health insurance, decriminalize illegal border crossings, ban fracking for oil and natural gas, and ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035 — each of those made in 2019 when the then-California senator was seeking the Democratic presidential nomination.

In recent weeks, The Post has spoken to several swing-state voters who plan to cast ballots for Harris. The majority of them painted a vague picture of what the vice president stands for – “pro-choice” and “the environment.”

But the main reason they’re backing Harris is because she is not former President Donald Trump.

“I would say I believe she is more moderate? in terms of immigration. In the sense that she’s not like let’s let everyone in,” Aaliyah Dittman, a 20-year-old college student from Clarion County, Pa., told The Post when asked about Harris’ position on the border and immigration.

“But I feel like she’s kind of similar to Biden,” Dittman, a first-time voter excited about Harris, added. “And that’s the difficult thing. As she is still the vice president, she has to pull herself apart from the administration and say this is what I stand for and maybe she hasn’t done a great job doing that.”

“My major is gender, so I’m not that up to date on environment issues in general,” Anderson said. “I know that her and Biden did the Alaska oil pipeline, which is not as pro-environment, I guess. So I don’t know exactly where she stands, but from what little I do know, she’s not like great on environment”

It’s ok, little sister. You can just say “I’m stupid and I can only keep one stupid lib idea in my mind at a time .” We understand you’re a worthless, self-important drooling imbecile , and that answer’s good enough

She stands for communism. The brainwashed voters think she stands for not trump

In an idiocracy with a cheating administration she stands a good chance. She’s currently neck and neck with the defenders of the republic

“It is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day”.

Who else finds those words truly inspiring?

I clicked to say the same thing. But you beat me to it.

Incidentally, they cannot articulate why they dislike Trump either. When they try, it is clearly nonsensical.

Brainwashed is right.

The rest of the statement is that they can’t articulate their positions. Not communism and not anti Trump

It’s good enough for the purely emotional Dem voters.

“I would say I believe she is more moderate?”

Why are you asking me what you believe you dumb broad?

You “would” say it under what conditions?

Well, Pyle, are you saying it or not?

Ugh... we might be in trouble. She will cancel out my vote.

When their reasons for disliking Trump are not nonsensical, they are based on complete lies that the media puts out there for so long that they continue to get repeated until people believe them.

I think they spout some word salad about January 6. It seems reasonable that the whole Jan 6 fiasco has cost Trump some number of votes from the bad publicity unleashed from that misadventure, exploited by the Dems. Absent Jan 6, if he had just sulked and grimaced and left, he would be much farther ahead.

Yeah.

Sometimes I get the feeling that dumb people use the talking points to sound smart when they are talking to others. Just hoping there are no follow-up questions.

In a polite setting, there are no follow-up questions. It’s uncouth.

But I ain’t polite.

Also, I think we;re not using “smart” appropriately. Some people are math whizes. Can do all kings of problems, or solve engineering problems like there’s no tomorrow.

But MatLab or a calculator can too.... are they smart?

No. The guy that can keep himself alive through various situations, and read the environment. I say he’s smart. Street smarts, or common sense they used to call it.

Exactly. There are things that I don’t like about Donald Trump, but I’m voting for him anyway.
