Can you name 5 things that Harris will make great?

[RileyG]

Even MN governor Tim Walz recently said "we can't take four more years of this!"

Whaddya know, I agree with him.

Yup. What has she done in the last four years?

 

[durangodawood]

I’m the complete opposite.

Being Trump is the best thing about her?

 

[RileyG]

No. the best thing about Trump is he isn’t Harris.

 

[durangodawood]

No. the best thing about Trump is he isn’t Harris.

Oh come on where's your maga enthusiasm??? "Not Harris" doesn't fill rallies.

You can't pass laws on powers given by the Constitution. Also, how is the Supreme Court not in check? No impeachments yet.

The Supreme Court is a check on government shenanigans, not the other way around - hence the title: "supreme"

 

[RileyG]

I’m not entirely enthusiastic about either one, to be honest.

1. She will better president foe the working man and his financial needs.
2. She will do more to create sensible (though likely not strong enough) environmental regulation.
3. She will not embarrass your country on the world stage.
4. She is more likely going to respond from an informed position.
5. She is more likely to take steps to help the financial/housing crisis that does not further enrich the 1%


I don't see her as necessarily making anything great ..but I see her being mostly Likely to do this stuff.

People who think a president - of either party - is going to "make America great" are on a desperate and hopeless quest for some kind of savior figure. Americans make America great..... Or they dont.

I will say, a president is entrusted with enough power to seriously damage America tho, especially if he has another branch of government in thrall to him, or in arena where he has sole jurisdiction like foreign policy..

Executive, legislative, and judicial. The Constitution is the guardrail If the government operates properly, checks and balances can keep the President from going off the rails.

The problem today is we have a president who refuses to abide by the rulings.(Student loans)

You can pass against powers assumed by the branches of government. Ethics codes can be imposed on SCOTUS, like every other judge has.

 

[Nithavela]

And she will do that how? Vibes? Joy?

Without a vision the people perish.

"People with visions should see a doctor." - Helmut Schmidt, german federal cancellor.

I think that adequate governmentship is good enough.

Besides, it's pretty transparent that her opponents alternate between demanding concrete concepts which are never detailed enough and grand visions which are never grand enough. At the same time, those opponents salivate at Trump's mealy mouthed platititudes and "concepts of a plan".

This. A competent, functioning government comes before “greatness”. For me, this includes regulations that keep corporations in check and protects civil rights, clean air, potable water, ordinary commerce and safe infrastructure.

I am opposed to dismantling the federal government or putting lobbyists and corporate head honchos in charge of the industries they have a vested stake in.

I mean...she could repeat herself endlessly about "what could be unburdened" and cackle nonstop...I find that pretty embarrassing.

As a working man, I hope she does something about our prices.

That's ONLY IF she gets elected.

Jake Tapper asked Nancy Pelosi this question. Can you name 5 things a Harris administration will make great - without mentioning Trump, or Republicans?

I think the wording is unfair. The question should have been what five things can the the Harris administration make America catch up with other developed nations again.

Prices are tough for a president to deal with because of the unbridled free market. And given that companies set their own prices and see massive profits (and stock buy backs) perhaps it's time to realize American doesn't actually have a free market because it has insufficient competition. And this is allowing the richest to get richer.

The corporations that need to be checked on, are supporters of Democrats (Amazon, Google, LinkedIn, etc.) it seems to me, lobbyists and corporate head honchos are already in charge at the federal level.

Some cities, and all states already have a department of health, education, environmental protection, etc. so why is there a need for a federal tier that only acts when it's politically expedient for them?

We are past the point that Margaret Thatcher spoke of when she said "the state is responsible for everything, but no one is responsible for the state"

Use Jake Tapper's words to answer the question. Name 5 things that would help Americans

I guess that's fair.

You are certainly right on the latter. I am not so sure on the first. Perhaps you have an example? Like the War Powers Act. many believe it is unconstitutional that the Congress imposed certain restrictions on the President. Congress passed it but is stuff like that constitutional?

Yes, Walz was right about that. She is in office RIGHT NOW and has been for four years.
