      Let me fix that for you: a politician’s attempt to court disengaged voters by presenting a popular proposal. AKA democracy.

            They’ve been in office for 4 years and they finally think about the voters. What reaction do you expect?

              Perhaps the voting public to have a bit more reflection than you seem to. It’s not like this is the one thing they’ve done in four years.

                Harris is in serious danger of losing to Trump. It takes a special kind of terrible candidate to be able to do that. Only Hillary Clinton accomplished it in the past. If Trump gets re-elected though, maybe the Dems can try for a new world record by launching three failed impeachments next term instead of two.

              they finally think about the voters.

              Okay so apparently you’ve been burying your head in the sand because it’s been nothing but progress in the past four years. From college forgiveness, to decriminalization, drop in violent crime, expanding overtime…

              But nah it’s cool bro THANKS BRANDON or whatever y’all say

                I wouldn’t say “nothing but progress”. There was that railroad union busting thing. And the student loan thing (though that was the Republicans’ fault). And currently there’s the whole genocide thing.

      I don’t really think of proposing new policies as “desperate” so much as just trying to outline her goals to people who are still undecided.

      Now if she went out and did some weird photoshoot stunt, I might start to pull out the desperate label.

      A desperate attempt by Kamala to limit the number of women dying from pregnancy complications since they have little to no access to abortion?

      that’s the hardest ratio on this site I’ve SEEN. The only upvote from one hundred and six people was from yourself.
