I was responding to the Op who quoted:


The op want's it both ways:
Harris is not proposing anything different. And when I highlighted the tax credits, he ask why isn't she doing it now.

Vice Presidents do not set policy. The President does. Of course a VP can influence a POTUS, but it is the exception. Most notably that occurred with Dick Cheney and George W Bush (i..e the Iraq invasion), but there no indication that Harris has the same influence over BIden.
She said she was involved in White House decisions.

Hasn't Kamala Harris said that she has been the last person in the room with Joe Biden?

Well sure, she is in "the room". That doesn't mean she makes the final decision.

...page 3, and still no debate regarding her proposed middle class tax cuts.
Please provide some information about her proposed middle class tax cuts.

I don’t recall that being the topic. Maybe you started a thread on that.

Harris is not proposing anything different.

Perhaps "A New Way Forward" isn't the best slogan then. Maybe "4 more years of nothing different" would be more accurate, although not nearly as catchy.

That's more or less fair. I would rather go forward than back to Donald Trump's vision of America.

What’s new about it? What’s wrong with the current way forward?

What's new is the guy in charge of the current way forward isn't going to be in charge any more.

-- A2SG, no one said the current way is wrong, just that it'll be different....

Her linking to project 2025 and calling it "Trump's project 2025 agenda" is just plain evil... She knows good and well that's not Trump's policy platform - she's deliberately and intentionally misleading voters.
It was written by Trump's people. He's trying to spin it otherwise, but it's all Trump material.

Sure they did. It’s in the word “new”.

Calling something 'new' doesn't mean the previous version was bad, only that it's different.

-- A2SG, take New Coke for example....

It definitely means that there was some reason to change.

Yup. The previous guy chose not to run for another term.

New leadership often brings changes.

-- A2SG, and, either way, there's a new leader coming....

That would be a new leader, not a new way forward. But it’s cute that that are trying to provide cover.

With a new leader comes a new way forward. Kind of what "lead" means, really.

But it’s cute that that are trying to provide cover.
Nah, she doesn't need me for that.

-- A2SG, she seems to be doing quite well all on her own.....
