So of those three I have no problem with two of them…
- There is another thread about her gun comments. Tl;Dr: they are are not a change in gun policy from any other democratic candidate in recent history, and I think putting it in an emotive attention grabbing way like this is a very good thing. I want to see more of this.
- The fracking thing is just politics in the real world. A Californian politician has different policies in the primary to when she is running for president 5 years later (for a policy that specifically effects a vital general election swing state)? That’s just a fact of life for politicians who want to get elected.
The tip thing is a bit dumb IMO. It’s a stupid policy that is being proposed as a blatant bit of pandering. But ultimately Harris has shown excellent political instincts in every call she’s made, and she is well aware of what’s at stake here (much more than any of us). If she thinks a bit of dumb pandering is whats called for at this point in the election then I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt.
