I'm genuinely curious if any previous presidential candidate has used this tactic lol. "I Won't answer questions about my platform. You'll just have to wait and see what happens"

so strange

in any other time no you couldn’t, not at least as the challenger. incumbents can sorta skirt around it and just say “we are gonna keep doing what we are doing” but at least that is somewhat tangible.

kamala and biden are running a campaign based on hypotheticals and the media is giving them sufficient enough shielding on it

although just look how hostile biden gets in that clip lol. blames a question about his supporters on “republicans and Trump” and says they “dont deserve” to know his position on political issues.

the way the DNC has played this whole election has been in one word - bizarre

I still haven't decided if it's a conspiracy to help trump win

So just a minor technical point

Biden keeps citing an analysis by Moodys that claims his plan would create more jobs / growth than Bidens
The author of that analysis is economist Mark Zandi, known for his frequent appearances on CNN, NPR, CBA and columns for WaPo.

The same economist whos analysis in 2016 was very prominently featured by these same outlets, criticizing Trump's economic plan:
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/18/economist-zandi-predicted-trump-lengthy-recession-changes-tune.html

He predicted massive job losses and a lengthy recession by 2019 as a result of Trump's tax cuts and deregulatory agenda.
He had three varying projections, with -1.5%/-0.1%/+1.8% GDP, -1.9%/-1.1%/+0.6% jobs and 5.7%/8.3%/5.9% unemployment rate by 2019, as well as predicting the S&P 500 would change by +9%/4.5%/+1.8% after huge double digit drops in first few years in all scenarios
The actual 2019 numbers were more than twice his predicted maximum scenario job growth, much higher GDP growth and a 40% spike in the S&P 500
The Trump numbers were vastly higher than his optimistic "god queen Clinton gets elected and saves the economy" dream scenario.

Now unless Moodys was magically anticipating the pandemic and knew years before China even did, this graph shows work so fucking atrocious that a 12 year old drawing lines on a paper randomly would be more likely to get the actual economic projections right than Moody's famed pro-Biden economist:

while the harris and biden ticket continues to yell at reporters for asking about packing the court, the media is now using the lefty propaganda which is termed “de-politicizing” the court..which is the political position of one party lmfao

its such an unforced error.

all that's needed is a civics lesson, packing the court isnt some EO penstroke. its a major legislative effort requiring far more than Biden/Harris wants. why they're diverting on this is beyond me, unless some focus group showed focus on Barret drives DNC votes up more than answering court packing questions. seems odd tho.

yeah evidently focusing on Barrett’s faith and insulting her adopted children seems to play well with harris and biden supporters. such a scumbag group of people

stfu

You know your philosiphies are awful when it turns you into that.



A small but relevant (15-30%) of Democrats are radicalized (single moms, purple haired, soy boys).

Biden will lose turnout among them if he says he wont pack the court.
