"Indefensibly for someone in her position, Harris is running the equivalent of a Rose Garden campaign. There is no world in which that makes sense."
Galling version? The world in which it makes sense is the world in which she and her staff have so little faith in her positions and her appeal that they believe their odds are better if people *don't* know about her. That's a level of insecurity that should shame her backers and the party in general.
Mr. Barkan has nailed the problem with “ but since partisans in both parties care little for these arguments.” They care little for policy, knowledge, competence, or thoughtful reflection. Both party’s tax policies are ridiculous. There is no long-term thinking about serious challenges. Instead, we get no taxes on tips, student loan forgiveness, tax-free Social Security, and inflationary housing cash.
Does any serious person believe that inflation is caused by greedy corporations? Is there no limit to the national debt? If America pulls back from global leadership, who will fill the vacuum? Do we want it to be China? What is the purpose of taxation anyway? Will forgiving student debt encourage universities to control tuition costs? Will not every paycheck include a lot of tips? I can just see my plumber charging $20 for a visit and $200 in tips.
I actually watched a video of Stealers Wheel’s old hit Stuck in the Middle With You. For the youngsters
Hillary’s interview on Morning Joe confirmed the PT Barnum attitude of today’s Democratic Party elites. She said, essentially, that Kamala is on the right track with her “positive messaging”—“joy,” etc.
The People” don’t care about policy. She knows, because her campaign was all about “policy”, and we all should have read her book about “policy.”
So. Trump 2024!
And Trump attitudes and policies until all traces of Hilary and leftist progressives have to take jobs in janitorial services and waste management for which they are best suited.
On second thought, let’s not include Hillary in either janitorial services nor waste management. She’s probably already all mobbed up.
So, wow. What should become of her?
Perhaps that’s a decision best left to Tony Soprano.
My bet is she could not care less about becoming more vocal about her positions. The old rules about how candidates run or should run campaigns have gone up in smoke so you need to get over that. The Democrats have learned through the last 2 elections that with Trump as the opponent, they don't need to say anything substantive, defend policies, or do much besides exactly what they've done and are doing. They have all the power, a well oiled Machine that perpetuates it, Trump notwithstanding. Kamala has introduced a fun new angle of being 'joyful' and Putin has complimented her on it so there is that. I expect that the same small bunch of people who have been running the country while poor Biden becomes ever more incapacitated will continue to run the country if Kamala wins. She is not a substantive person. I'm not sure honestly who is substantive enough to handle today's world disorder, but Kamala and those responsible for Biden's policies strike me as about the 30th percentile.
Kamala doesn't need to do anything. Despite being an unpopular presidential candidate, and an even more unpopular VP, since Biden has been pushed aside, the press has hailed her as the next coming of Jesus. And now, she is neck and neck with Trump, when Biden would have likely been trounced handily. She is better off keeping her mouth shut.

“Well I don’t know why I came here tonight
I’ve got the feeling that something ain’t right
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you “
