I put up a comment about it yesterday, but I’m predicting Oct 12- 16th for a pivot.
Specifically, these debates mostly nothing
At this point, if you were going for Trump, there is no debate performance that is going to change that. Likewise for Harris voters. As well, we’re just about past the point where voter registration is going to change anything. Just about the last 2 weeks of September and the state which matter won’t be accepting new registrations.
So it’s down to people that are likely voters who are still withholding for some policy positions.
Congress can, and periodically does, override presidential vetoes. If you’ve got the most conservative Republicans in the Senate on board, it sounds like an override is in the cards.
Realistically she’s got quite a few of those, but when given a bad but not fundamentally different from what one had before option, and a make everything far worse option, and a situation that makes trying to choose a third option an exercise in futility, the choice is a no-brainer.
She still has one policy she needs to correct.
Maybe if she can get into the position where she can do something.

State Attorney General? Senator? Vice President?
None of those are able to affect any change to foreign policy. That is the president’s job alone.
She was literally on the Subcommittee for Border Security. Jesus, you fucking people.
Yep. And they had hammered out a deal on the border led by one of the most conservative Republicans in the Senate until Trump had it killed.
Even then, the decision comes down to the president who has veto power to decide whether the bill becomes law or not.

Past that, vetoes don’t create policy.

it’s probably around 1.5% of the vote she’s leaving on the table?
Not an unsurmountable number, but easily closer than you would want to do in any kind of competitive election.
Unforced error. At the end of the day, AIPAC doesn’t vote.
