“REEEE, why won’t she give us policies we can pick apart to sink her campaign, reeeeee!”

This is a vibes election, so that tracks.

No, Harris is not releasing white papers left and right, but we know plenty about how she’d govern:
– Hawkish on the border, would sign the bipartisan border bill, seeks immigration reform
– Would sign a law restoring Roe
– Muscular on foreign policy, including strong support of NATO and Taiwan.
– Would sign the John Lewis voting rights bill into law
– Supports a middle class tax cut and reversing Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy, which need to be renewed in 2025.
I’d love to know more specifics, but I need the media to stop pretending like Harris has no platform.

>If you like sex, make some noise,” bellowed the dj, who stood in front of a gigantic screen that displayed images of Vice-President Kamala Harris dancing. “Because in this election we are not going to lose the right to have an abortion…and to have sex with whoever we want.” As the pictures of Harris were replaced by a flurry of giant Doritos, a favoured Harris snack, the crowd of revellers bellowed its approval.
>Just an hour before, they had been listening to a sober speech from Barack Obama, which concluded the second session of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Obama had played his greatest hits and ended his remarks urging Americans to listen to “the better angels of our nature”. The crowd on the dance floor had decided to ignore the former president, at least for a few hours. They were at a raunchy after-party called “Hotties for Harris”. The vice-president has proved to be a surprise sensation. Charli xcx, the singer of the summer’s hit album, dubbed her “brat”, which was intended as praise. At the party, Harris memes that have mushroomed across the internet were brought to life: influencers sipped from coconuts and jeered at a “Wall of Weirdos”, which included pictures of Donald Trump and his pick for vice-president, j.d. Vance.
The only people who are changing their votes at this point vote on vibes so this tracks

IMO you’d simply be stupid not to run heavily on vibes in the current state of the political and media climate.
Also I’m wondering if there’s some retconning of what presidential campaigns in the past were like. Were they really wonk battles? I find that hard to believe

Politics is about vibes.

As opposed to Donald Trump, who is running on careful policy analysis.

We tried running on policy, level headed professionalism and wonkishness, and the public said that’s boring and no personality.
… Man, whoever said America is turning into another Latin American democracy of radical populism swapping over to radical populism until someone creates consolidates enough power to “fix things” and becomes a dictatorship, and the people will go along with it wasn’t exactly wrong.

I’d rather walk on vibes than swim in doubt.
