Responses:

I love the far left/far right thing that any Democrat can single-handedly enact policy regardless of their position in government. - Tim Aug 23, 11:39 4
- And if any of them did act above the law like Trump, the dictator outcry would overwhelm the media. -- nm - David Aug 23, 11:44 3
  - Biden could be a little freer with the executive orders, they can be used judiciously -- nm - rollo Aug 23, 11:56
  - "Biden issues executive order " omg he's a dictator, he's Hitler/Stalin.... -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 23, 11:52 1
    - But also, "he could fix the border by executive order but he won't do it." -- nm - pmb Aug 23, 12:16
The fact that we're not likely to have majority in the house or senate at the end of this election is the one thing tempering my hope and optimism - oblique Aug 23, 11:27 11
- I would have liked to see a call to action around this. You don't get it if you don't ask for it. Kamala: "Give me the house and senate and we'll do -- (edited) - rollo Aug 23, 11:37 10

  - i think it will get there closer to election day, when the national race picture becomes clearer -- nm - mr mooch Aug 23, 11:47
  - I thought the messaging on this was pretty consistent throughout the convention - znufrii Aug 23, 11:43 4
    - Maybe not headline-level prominence, but it wasn’t not said, in the speeches I watched at least. -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 11:55 3
      - I was thinking specifically in KH's acceptance speech but I cede the point as I only watched highlights -- nm - rollo Aug 23, 12:07 2
        
        Fair. She didn’t hit it as specifically as other speeches, only by implication. “When Congress sends me (the) bill… I’ll sign it.” -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 12:11 1
        
        Also it never hurts to remind ppl how government actually works every once in a while, lot of eyes on that speech -- nm - rollo Aug 23, 12:28
  - Yes -- nm - Epiphany Aug 23, 11:42
  - I'm glad it has the top spot on her policy agenda (housing supply) -- nm - oblique Aug 23, 11:39
  - exactly -- nm - prayformojo Aug 23, 11:37
The reality is that, outside of what the Supreme Court has done, things are pretty good in America right now. -- nm - Inigo Aug 23, 11:27 18
- It's becoming a country of haves and have nots in never seen before extremes, and if you are a have I suspect things are very good - they are for me - rollo Aug 23, 11:46 4
  - This is very true. Who is speaking for the downtrodden and the destitute? Both sides spout so much bullshit. Who has the courage to really change - Loyola Aug 23, 12:55 3
    - I disagree. - Inigo Aug 23, 12:59 2
      - He’s my favourite Democrat politician. -- nm - Loyola Aug 23, 13:00 1
        
        In 2019 and 2020, Kamala and all primary Democrats were saying the same things. - Inigo Aug 23, 13:04
- I'm not sure I'd go around making that statement. Affordability is a huge problem (housing, healthcare, childcare, education) -- nm - oblique Aug 23, 11:29 12
  - inflation was a global phenomenon post-COVID and the US (along with every other metric) has handled it as well or better than any other western nation -- nm - mr mooch Aug 23, 11:35 10
    - All well and good, but Harris/Walz have voter's feelings/sentiment to contend with. "These darn prices! Ikr??" is def in the echo chamber. -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 11:57 5
      - inflation is under 3%. Fed is cutting interest rates finally. consumer sentiment jumped as soon as Biden dropped out. none of the behavior is rational -- nm - mr mooch Aug 23, 11:58 4
        
        Good thing only rational people vote! -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 12:12
        
        That's interesting. Hope you're right -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 12:00 2
        
        it's not necessarily a good thing! -- nm - mr mooch Aug 23, 12:03 1
        
        See how dicey it gets! :) -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 12:15
    - unfortunately this is a "both things are true" sitch -- nm - rollo Aug 23, 11:48
    - it is the perception issue: my groceries cost more, gas is higher. - Epiphany Aug 23, 11:43 2
      - According to one poll I saw, people admit things are okay for themselves, but say they’re bad for other people. -- nm - mara Aug 23, 12:19 1
        
        interesting -- nm - Epiphany Aug 23, 13:10
  - It's been that way even under Trump. We as a country just decided to get mad about it and blame Biden. -- nm - Inigo Aug 23, 11:31
yeah, this (and the mendacious "Remember how low gas prices were in September 2020?") are the two go-to memes from my dad's MAGA-pilled wife on FB - mr mooch Aug 23, 11:25 2
- I'm getting the gas one, Kamala said 18-34 year olds are stupid, Joe opened the border " just wide open!" -- nm - Epiphany Aug 23, 11:59 1
  - oh and..." Kamala is stupid, not brain cell in her head" so the GOP messaging is working on their people -- nm - Epiphany Aug 23, 12:00
