WTF are you talking about? Because I didn't notice an "tacking" at all.
She literally had an 82 page plan of economic changes. Were you expecting that the media was going to tell you about all the important stuff? The main stream media buries the important stuff so their billionaire owners can get gigantic GOP tax cuts. That means you have to work extra hard to understand reality. e.g. The 82 page plan of economic changes proposed by Harris. Just because you didn't know about the plan doesn't mean that there was nothing in it that would have benefited you in a huge way.
Sure okay, but I am literally looking at the plan now. I don't see anything about unions, I don't see any medicare for all or single payer healthcare, I don't see anything about increasing minimum wage or indexing the minimum wage to inflation. I do see a lot of "helping more people get insurance", which is exactly the non-solution I was talking about.
I literally see a platform that tinkers around the edges, without making any fundamental changes. But you are here to refute my claims...so tell me/us (everyone else in this thread): What policies in the 80 page policy book I am currently looking at would have been a kitchen table game changer for me? I am willing to be wrong. I agree that the MSM has a profit motive to not inform the public about good democratic policy. So, you came here to make a point. Make your point.
If you didn't see the outreach that Harris was doing to centrist republicans, you weren't watching.
<edit, because I am still reading my way through the 82 pages.> There is literally nothing in this plan (that I have seen so far) that is a direct reply to a single topic in the comment you are referring to. Like, most of the problems aren't even acknowledged.
But most importantly, I watched all of Harris' speeches. Remember, I voted for her. I was excited to vote for the first black women president. I have too many friends who are gay or transgendered to not vote Democrat. But if she had a solution to these issues (as you have said) and the MSM wasn't telling me. SHE should have told me. I was there. I was listening.
And finally, while the initial lines of the post were about Harris not supporting M4A, which is empirically true and nothing in the document disputes that. The rest of the post was about the failures of the Democrats as a whole over the last 20 years and nothing in Harris' policy book could reasonably refute that.
