Other than Harris saying she wants legislation to legalize abortion nationwide, which would violate the Supreme Court decision that it is a state issue per the 10th Amendment (in fairness, I’ll say the same about any GOP legislation to ban it), does anyone really know what Harris’ policies are from the convention?
Kamala Harris Caps Off DNC Without Releasing Policy Platform
Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday despite failing to release a policy platform since launching her campaign.
Harris headlined the final night of the Democratic National Convention, accepting the nomination that the delegates had voted to give her weeks before in a virtual roll call. The vice president largely spoke about her personal background and attacked former President Donald Trump, while sprinkling in some vague policy positions and campaign themes.
“On behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth, I accept your nomination to be president of the United States of America,” Harris said early on in her speech.
Harris began the speech with her personal story, speaking about how a childhood friend being abused led her to become a prosecutor and her mother telling her never to do things “half-assed.” She transitioned to some basic policy outlines, pledging to pass bipartisan border legislation that failed in the Senate earlier this year and to pass national protections for abortion access.
She also promised to continue to support Israel’s right to defend itself after expressing sympathies to the plight of Palestinians and calling for a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza.
Everything is vague and there are no details. She’s yammered a lot about fixing the border and economy, despite being VP of the Biden-Harris admin for 3 1/2 years.
On the final day of the convention, Harris is yet to have a policy platform on her website. In response, the Trump campaign released its own webpage detailing Harris’ “dangerous policies.” The Democratic National Committee released its platform on the first day of the convention, though it made 19 references to a “President Biden’s second term” and 150 to Trump.
If we had a news industry that actually did their job, people would be exposed to what she has done during those years, and what she did before then.
GOP Rips Dems’ Style Over Substance at Convention
Republicans are calling out the hypocrisy shown by Democrats during their national convention in Chicago this week, as Vice President Kamala Harris has used celebrity allies to sell the party’s newfound patriotism to try to win over undecided voters.
Speakers at the convention have talked glowingly about their “love of country” and “freedom,” even though Harris has revealed little about her policies, and those she has stated — such as imposing government price controls on private-sector businesses — clash with that vision.
“This is being decided right now based on a vibe … based on style over substance,” former Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy said Thursday during a news press conference at the Trump Hotel Chicago, the New York Post reported. “Many voters are going to demand some level of substance that they haven’t gotten yet.
“I see Oprah Winfrey. I see John Legend. See Lil Jon. Great. That doesn’t still tell me what she stands for.”
Of course, she doesn’t really want to get detailed, because, we’ve already seen the results during her time as VP, and after she yammered about raising taxes and and price controls, telling Americans what she really wants to do would annihilate her chances to win all those swing states. Trump needs to spend the rest of the time left hammering her on what happened during the Biden-Harris years, and over the vague policies she has said.

If you wanna know the policies of the new Democrat party all you need to do is read Rules For Radicals, The Communist Manifesto and Das Capital. That should answer all your questions. You could throw in the Koran if you wanna expand their enemies list.
Basically, they hate everything white Christian straight and American with the added attraction of wanting to completely destroy this country.
Harris has no policies on her website except to take your money.
She is using the Joe Biden, 2020 hide in the basement campaign strategy.
The democrats know they are going to steal this election despite a horrid economy, an invasion of illegal immigrants and a crime wave not seen since the wild west.
The GOP is joining her cause because there is so much money to be made in Ukraine.
So much money.
They are drooling and will help the Democrats ensure that Donald J. Trump does not return to the White House at any cost.
Fuck the little man. Fuck the voters. Fuck the hopes and dreams of 325,000,000 people. There is MONEY TO BE MADE and Donald J. Trump stands in the way.
Don’t forget, Trump stand in the way of all that human trafficking and child exploitation too.
William Teach: Other than Harris saying she wants legislation to legalize abortion nationwide, which would violate the Supreme Court decision that it is a state issue per the 10th Amendment
That is not necessarily correct.
I can see no legal reason why the question of abortion should not be left up to the states. In fact I think in our Republic that’s exactly where it should be. I realize that if Delaware as a state voted to make abortion illegal rimjob would scream his lungs out over in Missouri because he would think it’s wrong. As a former Democrat before he turned communist he always believes democracy first unless he doesn’t get what he wants to democracy can go to hell. But we’re talking like reasonable people. People on the left are not reasonable. If they don’t get their way they’ll change laws take over colleges and do anything in their power until finally everything will change to the way they want. There is no room for others in a leftist world. Those who don’t agree will be crushed.
L.G.Brandon!, L.G.Brandon!: I can see no legal reason why the question of abortion should not be left up to the states.
The claim was that the Supreme Court ruled that the Congress could not regulate the question, which is not correct. While you may believe it is best left to the states, that would be a political question for Congress, including your representative if you are a U.S. citizen.
Wrong. It’s a 10th Amendment question, which should be obvious even to people in black robes and trolls on commenting threads, which unquestionably disqualifies Congress or any federal agency.
Brother John: Wrong. It’s a 10th Amendment question, which should be obvious even to people in black robes and trolls on commenting threads, which unquestionably disqualifies Congress or any federal agency.
The question concerned William Teach’s claim about the Supreme Court decision, Dobbs v. Jackson. The Dobbs decision overturned Roe, which was originally held under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and rights “retained by the people” under the Ninth Amendment. We cited the Dobbs decision above, including Kavanaugh’s concurrence, which directly addresses that Congress can regulate the matter. Feel free to read the decision for yourself.
So basically, the Harris agenda is that she will wait for congress to do something about abortion, when they have failed to do that for forever. Great platform. Institutionalized pass the buck.
Professor Hale: So basically, the Harris agenda is that she will wait for congress to do something about abortion, when they have failed to do that for forever.
The Dobbs decision was in 2022. Republicans have controlled the House (more or less) since then. To pass legislation over a recalcitrant opposition means having a majority in the House, a supermajority in the Senate, and the Presidency.
