First of all, just being honest, I appreciate the time you took to post this, unless you copied and pasted, then I take it back.DJ- I'd say that this is the one thing we all agree on. Sadly, it's the lack of distrust that has been growing and earned by both sides. If I had to pick one over the other; I'd pick the one who has drifted on policy more towards the middle and not the extremist side. I feel Harris has done more of that, and been chided as flip flopping. If that is the case, just for votes sake, then it's a shame. If she has changed stance for the purpose of policy and as she see's the direction of the country needing to go- then I'm good with that.
Secondly, how many of these did she claim one thing a few years ago, then changed her mind to get votes? I know the line between gaslighting and bullshitting.
I don't feel like she can be trusted, anymore than you feel Trump can be trusted.

I'm in that class. And I see it as a very obtuse mindset. I also understand his policy stance on some things that are merely talking points at best. drill baby drill, black gold, or immigration deportations are simply NOT going to happen. The laws currently on the books protect those asylum folks and the economy dictates what oil producers will do, not presidents.
None of these ppl are perfect for the country- and while I would be more inclined to believe what people do vs. what they say.
In PA- there have been more oil and gas wells being drilled nowadays and guess what; they are all wells that are fracked. If Harris was anti fracking- and been in office for 3.75 yrs., how is it possible if her stance was so intrenched in a verbal policy stated years ago. I guess the answer is that she realizes that you cannot tie the hands of industry without repercussions, and that we still need oil and gas. She's said as much.
that said,- she has said she's NOT coming for guns or other liberties and rights- AND she's actually more inclined to have ppl follow laws -than break them.
I cannot say with an ounce of faith that the other fellow feels that way. Hence his immense legal repercussions he's in currently.
ARe they lies? Or are they telling the truth?
Who seems to be more truthful and disclosing their ideas have changed vs. doubling down on extreme ideology?
Have you locked up your pets due to the wild Haitians coming over or are you fairly unconcerned about that? I've got pets and a pond...No haitians have come by at all, literally a smorgasbord of goodies just for the taking, but they again, I have some lead that comes for unwelcome visitors too.
