If people are not aware of what Kamala Harris stands for, or her record of achievement, it indicates someone who is not politically literate, but since so many voters are poorly informed, it also means she has work to do to introduce herself and her background to the American people.
Fortunately, we have a whole week of a Democratic National Convention coming up starting next Monday, in which Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, will have plenty of time to do that.
And unlike the Republicans, who (as they did in 2020) once again dismissed the idea of any formal platform, and just said their platform is nothing more than whatever their nominee, authoritarian DonOLD Trump wants. Prior to 2020, no major political party had ever done such a thing.
In any case, some of the things Kamala Harris proudly stands for:
• Real personal freedom for Americans, not the hollow lip-service of Republicans. This includes the right of INDIVIDUALS, not Big Intrusive Government, to make their own personal decisons about private relationships (decide who you can or can’t marry or even what private behavior choices among consenting adults are allowed behind closed doors), private medical choices (reproductive choices such as abortion, IVF or even contraception, medical or recreational marijuana, end of life choices, stem cell therapies, gender-identity care, transgender equal rights), tell us what books we or our children can have access to, and not have Big Government impose PRIVATE religion into PUBLIC policy and religious rituals into public meetings or subsidize it with special tax advantages (socialized religion) or post religious creeds in public school.
• Rights of workers to leverage the market power of their labor and organize in unions without interference, including outlawing non-compete agreements.
• Protecting workers wages, from minimum wages on up.
