A day after Biden said Harris would “cut her own path,” she declared that her presidency would not be a “continuation” of his during an interview with Fox News

      Technically step one was her saying for months that she wouldn’t have done anything different…

      But since all the moves right comes with hits in the polls, she’s doing a 180

      The Harris campaign, for its part, has been aware of the need to clean up Harris’ answers last week when she was asked what she would do differently than Biden, if elected, and what kind of changes she would make to her administration.

      She’s literally the only option we have, I just wish she was a better option so I’d feel more comfortable about stopping trump.

      Also, bullshit on this:

      “Every president has to cut their own path. That’s what I did. I was loyal to Barack Obama, but I cut my own path as president,” Biden said. “She’s been loyal so far, but she’s gonna cut her own path.”

      Biden publicly undermined Obama when he threatened to withhold aid to Israel due to their treatment of Palestinians, and Biden would tell anyone that would listen it was a bad move. Something that just isn’t done, and definitely doesn’t fit in “loyal”.

      He has no higher loyalty than Israel.

      Edit:

      I mean, that’s the excuse for Kamala currently not speaking out on Biden’s strategy with Israel…

      If someone thinks what Biden did as VP was “loyal” then they can’t use Kamala being VP as a shield for why she won’t call out Biden’s handling of the situation.

      There literally couldn’t be a more direct comparison.

      They can’t defend both Biden and Kamala in this instance.

    Controversial opinion, but the time to define policy was before running for president. Like she did in 2016, when she had better policies. Anyway, voting for her regardless over the fascist. KAMALA 2024! Woo. Hoo.

      Did Harris run in 2016? I remember the 2020 run but don’t recall 2016.

      Agreed w/ you - though in Harris’s defense the call to the highest office sorta came in the eleventh hour, so that might be part of why - she thought she’d have a whole four more years to define this, rather than just 4-5 more months (from when Biden dropped out).
