policy is boring

Means testing everything to the Nth disagree is enervating.

Yesterday I announced that, as president, I’ll establish a student loan debt forgiveness program for Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged communities.

Is bad policy. Not in the same way that mass deportation is bad. But when you ask where the 15M voters went between Biden parroting Warren/Sanders on universal student debt relief and this, go ahead and ask how many people you know who will qualify.

Harris, and waltz, both came out in the stage in a flood of emotion. They were live, genuine, caring.

Maybe Walz was different. Idk. He didn't get nearly as much limelight as Liz Cheney, so it was harder to tell.

But Harris wasn't caring in the slightest. Between going to Guatemala and telling refugees "Do Not Come", dismissing student debtors as entitled, downplaying the damage caused by inflation, and cheering on the police raids of college campuses over student protests, what we got was a woman whose deep genuine affections were exclusive to her in-group.

Gore and Kerry and Hilary all had the same problems. It was Republican versus Republican-Lite time after time.
