Energy policy? More environmentalist solutions? Not sure, since she was against fracking before she was for it. Which may change again after the election. Do we continue to buy the world's oil, continuing to be customers of hostile/less than friendly regimes, or expand our own sources/supplies?

Foreign policy? Are we going to cede more global influence to Russia and China like we have the last 4 years? Are we going to continue to promote the stalemate in the Russian - Ukraine war? Does she have and end-game plan for that war? You guys might not like an "America first" foreign policy, but I like a "globalist" foreign policy even less.

And that's just for starters.

Its little things like this are what I'm curious about. Maybe y'all aren't.

You seem fundamentally incapable of understanding that the primary animating issue in this election is Democracy vs. Autocracy. This is the very reason that Trump ditched (and has tried to disown) his own policy blueprint for the next term as his plan for turning the federal government into a MAGA autocracy came into full view.

And now that Project 2025 has been (unconvincingly) disavowed by Trump, what are his policy proposals beyond Making America Great Again Again while sucking up to the world's despots he so admires and wants to emulate?

Unlike Republicans, the Democrats will debate and settle on a party platform at their upcoming convention and I bet it won't simply be "whatever Kamala wants" as it was for Trump. And whatever it is, its objective will not be turning America into an autocracy.
