Campaign Confusion: Will the real Kamala Harris please stand up

Posted By on September 7, 2024

Kamala HarrisAs the US Presidential Election looms, we still really don’t know how Kamala Harris intends to govern — it’s been 1-1/2 months since President Biden stepped downAnd many of us have questions:

What are her policies?

From a few appearances … by that I mean ONE interview …  are we expected to believe the her views have changed, but her “values have not.” What we do know is that her positions for the entire previous decade in political office are not her positions today (so she says).

When she was the San Francisco DA and the California’s Attorney General she was a liberal California Democrat. When she was a US Senator from California, she was known as the “most progressively radical in the Senate.” When she ran for president in 2020, her views were way too left of where the national Democratic Party was (at the time) and she received no electoral votes and dropped out.  Instead Democrats nominated a perceived moderate, President Biden. Once partnered as VP with Joe Biden, the administration veered hard left — so much for bringing the country together as so many American voters expected.

Now we’re left wondering about the trial balloons being floated by the Democratic nominee. Again she received “zero” votes in the primary and has been flip-flopping a few new ideas that were quickly modified.

What are her real positions? Does she still believe illegally crossing the US border is not a crime, taxing unrealized capital gains is good for the economy and that more police on the street doesn’t make us safer?  Should we judge her by her past … or believe what she says now … or wait to see IF she puts anything to paper or on the Harris/Walz campaign website?

deserve to know ‘exactly what she’d do’
