Probably because its a legit observation and a legit question to ask. Just do a Google search. The story has cropped up in both left-leaning and right-leaning outlets. https://apnews.com/article/harris-tr...c5843aedbec8dd

Actually that's not correct. A simple Google search would point that out to you. But hey, you're on a good rant so don't let the facts slow you down.

Is that the new standard/strategy on the left now? Press-avoidance at least until after the convention? Hell, its so new that it didn't apply to Biden, since he actually participated in a presidential candidate debate well in advance of the 2024 convention.

Then you should have had no problem articulating them two days ago when I first asked the question. Instead ranted about Trump, thus wasting time and bandwidth.
So, what are the policy positions that "are already well-understood"? Let's stipulate abortion and that's one topic that Harris has promoted. So, what are examples of other Dem policies that are "well-understood" that Ms Harris aligns with?

Again, why do you care. Again, you didn't vote for Biden, you weren't going to vote for Biden and you sure as hell ain't going to vote for Harris. You people sure like to find things to be upset about.

Nah, I think it's anybody who would prevent King Donald from becoming president once again.

He's one or the other or both, depending on how you define rape. I'm comfortable with applying either label to Trump's behavior, as was the presiding judge. Sexual assault is abhorrent and I don't understand why you're willing to give him a pass on it. Why do you?

Same as it ever was:
Reproductive Rights, Climate Change, Worker Rights, Environmental Protection, Gun Safety, Judicial Ethics, Voter Rights, Rule of Law, Support for Democracy at Home and Abroad.
If you want further details, look at Project 2025 - Democrats would do the opposite. Makes you wonder why Trump is running like a scalded cat from his own policy blueprint (and please don't bother parroting the lie that Trump was unaware and had nothing to do with it). He recognizes how toxic the GOP's far-right policies have become. Why haven't you?

Saw a MAGA hat in person for the first time ever yesterday. A grossly obese old fart coming out of a Costco in Salem, OR (we’re vacationing on the Oregon coast). Pretty much fit my mind’s eye profile of Whell’s friends - grossly overweight, out of touch, utterly dependent on handouts from the gummint he so despises. F’ing hypocrites.

I'm dumbfounded why anyone would want to self-identify in public as a Trump supporter. A friend got a MAGA hat for a gag gift and I put it on just long enough to take a selfie. I'd post it here, but I'm afraid Whell would blackmail me.
