I think she’s a weak candidate to represent US interests on the world stage. Especially in comparison to Hillary Clinton and John Kerry of elections

past, who both seemed more than capable to exercise the power of the Presidency. Her main selling point seems to be that she’s not Donald Trump. Bill Clinton represented jobs and the economy, Obama represented change and a more confident America. Joe Biden represented a safe pair of hands. What does Harris represent? Moving forward is a slogan, not a policy. Moving forward to what? Moving forward from the skewering of their current President?

She was barely even one of the most feared prosecutors on the West Coast! Lightweight! -- nm - David Aug 23, 07:51
She is a fighter (compared to Trump that was just gullible.) -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 07:10
Possibly, but this just means she needs an exemplary Sec of State. It's pretty unusual to have a President that's strong on both domestic policy and - mara Aug 23, 06:56 1

Don't you think Trump ought to get the blame for this perceived weakness? We weakened a lot of ties around the world during his admin. -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 06:49
"Her main selling point seems to be that she’s not Donald Trump." Well I'm sold then! (though I think she offers quite more) -- nm - ty97 Aug 23, 06:41
Did you listen to all of the speech? - Inigo Aug 23, 06:35 9
- I'd also say her main theme for the U.S. is restoring the freedoms we used to have. -- nm - Inigo Aug 23, 06:38 8
  - Right. Just getting us back to par is a win at this point. -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 06:39 7
    - agreed. The Supreme Court is a problem that needs fixing -- nm - Southwest probably Aug 23, 06:43 6

      - Supreme Court justices should have to pay for their baggage -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 06:46
      - Restore open seating on the Supreme Court, Southwest! -- nm* - Inigo Aug 23, 06:45

You nailed it. For me, her main selling point is she's not TFG. That's enough. All I need. -- nm - King Of Oklahoma Aug 23, 06:30
I'll just point out that the american electorate disagreed with you on clinton and kerry. they both lost. - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 23, 06:27
I think we need someone who can bolster the concept of America being the beacon, including human rights and democracy, and she's strong there. -- nm - Max Aug 23, 06:21 7
- This is closest, from the outside. She represents a shift from an angry, fear-based approach to a much more positive and aware and hopeful one. -- nm - Andie Aug 23, 06:34 1
  - Yep. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 23, 07:30
- Also, I would say that she seems like a different candidate than she did 4 years ago. More confident and better rounded. I think she 4 years of - pmb Aug 23, 06:26 1
  - One more thing to add. Biden accomplished a lot in 4 years. The biggest point of this term is to build on stability and show the previous 4 years - pmb Aug 23, 07:33
- Her 25k for new home buyers is a master stroke tbf. -- nm - Loyola Aug 23, 06:25 2
  - meh. Hard to get excited about cash to buy homes that don't exist and where that money will just end up being a higher selling price to begin with - oblique Aug 23, 06:26 1
    - I agree with your im, but as a vote getter for anyone buying a house in the next few years, it’s a gold plated political play. -- nm - Loyola Aug 23, 06:35
