A desperate attempt by Kamala to win more votes?
Damn those dems using common sense policies to win votes!!
I want my representatives to use fear mongering and do absolutely nothing!
No, thats not what I think
Let me fix that for you: a politician’s attempt to court disengaged voters by presenting a popular proposal. AKA democracy.
An interesting cause to embrace two weeks before an election, then.
It's better than pretending to work at a fast food restaurant while also ignoring health codes.
(White House does anything)
This person: Why are they interfering with the election?!
They've been in office for 4 years and they finally think about the voters. What reaction do you expect?
So do they just have to stop governing at some point in order to receive your blessing. Exactly how many weeks/months out should they stop governing?
Okay so apparently you've been burying your head in the sand because it's been nothing but progress in the past four years. From college forgiveness, to decriminalization, drop in violent crime, expanding overtime...
But nah it's cool bro THANKS BRANDON or whatever y'all say
I wouldn't say "nothing but progress". There was that railroad union busting thing. And the student loan thing (though that was the Republicans' fault). And currently there's the whole genocide thing.
Perhaps the voting public to have a bit more reflection than you seem to. It's not like this is the one thing they've done in four years.
Harris is in serious danger of losing to Trump. It takes a special kind of terrible candidate to be able to do that. Only Hillary Clinton accomplished it in the past. If Trump gets re-elected though, maybe the Dems can try for a new world record by launching three failed impeachments next term instead of two.
Is it tho?
that's the hardest ratio on this site I've SEEN. The only upvote from one hundred and six people was from yourself.
I've got plus around 500 and minus around 500 on Reddit once EDIT: in the same day. Don't remember which was which. The upvoted comment was vague approval of USSR's actually existent checks and balances. I suspect the other one was generally the same at the same subreddit. I suspect when Redditors see something vague, they just guess, and then the next Redditor only looks at the vote count.
The White House: *does anything*
Idiots: DERE JEST DOING IT FUR VOTES!!!
Also idiots: DA DUMOCRATES HAVUNT DUN ENYTHING DURRING DERE TURM!!!1!!
Shhhhhh... The adults are working...
Go finish your beer.
I don't really think of proposing new policies as "desperate" so much as just trying to outline her goals to people who are still undecided.
Now if she went out and did some weird photoshoot stunt, I might start to pull out the desperate label.
The good ol' Mickey D's strategy
A desperate attempt by Kamala to limit the number of women dying from pregnancy complications since they have little to no access to abortion?
How dare she... Give people the things they want for votes... The outrage!
