Here's the page. There's moments of specifics, and moments where I wish there was a bit more detail. But overall, now people shouldn't be able to say she doesn't have any policy positions. They still will though.
It's not that she doesn't have them, it's that she used to have better positions.

I agree that she's not as progressive as I wish she was. But the overton window is stuck on a fascist dictator, so I'm going to vote for Kamala and we'll call that progress.
I say win 2024 and do good work.
Then get re-elected and go nuts on super progressive policy.
Massive taxes on billionaires (legit 50-70% and/or maybe maybe inheritance tax). Oh look at this! Tax on Extreme Wealth
Massive taxes on land barons. (Limit to 2 or 3 per person. Then tax the hell out of vacant units and increasingly per unit over 3).
Medicare for all.
Abolish tipping culture. Increase minimum wage.
Abolish the corn welfare system. 95% of corn is not grown for human consumption. Let's grow more of our own food.

Uh... I am not opposed to this, as a vegetarian, but... uh... the logical conclusion of this policy would be extremely unpopular. The corn that's not for human consumption is used in industrial and manufactured products (and ethanol, which is something we actually should get rid of, it just doesn't make sense as a product) and in livestock feed lots. If you stop subsidizing corn, meat gets more expensive.
Maybe not abolish but scale it back by 50%
Ethanol needs to go away.
Approximately 45% of U.S. corn croplands are used for ethanol production.
Corn feed is also bad. Cows aren't meant to live off of corn and it makes them unhealthier for us to eat.
There's also the more recent issue of growing corn in more states drying up the water supply. Corn is a very water hungry crop.
Corn farming in the midwest heavily taxes water resources and supply

"Post your positions already!"
Posts positions
"Ugh, I can't believe she posted her positions ..."
It's fair to ask for the positions, and fair to criticize the positions, the piece just reads like they are peturbed either way.
the US corporate media is run by a bunch of right wing billionaires, I don't think fairness is ever going to be in the cards.
They just don't like Harris and they don't have any reason why that they can talk about in public.
Welcome to earf
WOW LOOK AT THESE POLLS sponsored by draft kings
We can have a policy based debate when the Republicans nominate a non-fascist candidate. Until then it doesn’t really matter.
It is crazy how it took criticism for this to even happen. Someone you're voting for should be able to list what their actual platform and agenda is. It helps to have it for record if you actually plan to attempt to hold these people in power accountable and not be on some weird parasocial worshiping stuff.
the corporate media will never hold both parties to the same ballpark standard but like trump has pointedly denied involvement in project 2025 and he's not once talked about a policy grounded in reality, but the point is this isn't unusual its like the standard playbook. The only reason they went after Kamala on it is they don't like her.
Voters should expect policies, like you said. Its crazy this is allowed in the first place and the media enables it.
The media has been awful when it comes to Trump and letting him set and control the conversation. He has made it so normal just to lie without pushback. I could understand to some extent why listing a platform feels pointless.
In fact, I'd say that's all they can do. No more advertising. You get a gvt funded web site where you post your resume and positions.
After criticism. Who the fuck cares. Only repubs. I want to know her policy too, but it's not like I think she's been dodging. They took time to craft it. Whatever, gotta be fair to both sides.
