Elections Kamala Harris drops Official Policy Statements!

This one company is an example of how Kamala's ideas about small business is applied to creating new startups.

Spends weeks whining non fucking stop about Harris not having policies on her website, and then look hey now she does... time to just move on from pretending you ever gave a shit about that in the first place lmao

Do you not think that's a valid criticism of Kamala? It took her 40+ days to even take an interview and it was a CNN fluff piece. Many people were wondering what her policies were and she's only now putting them on her official website?

Do you believe the policy priorities outlined by the Harris campaign are areas she would make concrete, measurable progress on if elected president? The approach taken here appears to be identifying the safest policy positions with the highest percentage of public support, rather than tackling more controversial topics like border security.

Your other option is to elect a guy who was apparently going to do something and have Mexico pay fot it.

Then didn't do it. Oh but he did put his chief crony in charge of it who stole funds from it. Oh, and then Trump on his last day in office gave immunity to Bannon to escape prosecution and jail.

It sounds ridiculous to type this but such is the reality of Trump.
 
If Democrats have any interest in doing any of that shit why didn't they do it already? They've had the white house for 12 of the last 16 years.

And lmao if you believe any of the big pharma shit. Yeah, the Dems have been soooo tough on big pharma lmao

Increase the minimum wage, end sub-minimum wages for tipped workers and people with disabilities, establish paid family and medical leave, and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers


So she wants to pay every tipped worker normal minimum wage (which they're already getting in many cities), increase that wage, and eliminate taxes on tips. How about increase hourly wages for wait staff etc and ban tipping all together or put up roadblocks for tipping?

Why is it just about every other country gets this right except the US. 90 percent of any other country pays a living wage to servers and tips aren't expected. So she proposed that said servers get paid a living wage and is encourage tipping culture still?

She needs stupid young people (especially stupid young women) to vote for her. If they heard she was 'banning tipping' it would be catastrophic for her. She needs the baristas.
 
Just reading through the website, some fairly standard stuff with a few new wrinkles, overall not too shabby. Smart move including Trump’s Project 2025 policies for comparison.
Now everyone who’s been saying she has no policies can cry about how long it took and how she wants to turn us into teh ghey communisms or whatever.

The president doesn't have the power to change the culture.

Seems like these measures would make tipping less essential, the opposite of encouraging people to tip. If anything, people wouldn't feel as obligated to tip so much if they know the server is getting paid like everyone else and tips aren't even taxed. I don't see how anyone can just outright ban tipping.

She did mention the border though, she wants to pass the bipartisan border bill that Biden tried to but Trump killed so he could maximize his chances in November.

I think that's to be expected and there's nothing wrong with that.

A lot of it stuff she was already talking about so no wonder its no surprise, if you've been paying attention you could see this was more or less her platform.

All in all its alright, some good stuff mixed in with some bad stuff.

Most candidates start campaigning over a year before the election while Kamala was thrown in virtually last minute so it makes sense that she might take some time to get her bearings straight.

If you've been paying attention to the campaigns most of her policies listed there aren't really a surprise though so its not like she hasn't been talking policy.

Because in my bar if I paid my bartenders $30/hr they'd make $240 a shift.

Instead they make $14/hr which is $112 a shift and then another $250-350 in tips over the same 8 hr shift...

Waitstaff likes having the ability to hustle and earn more. Working for an hourly wage and being taxed on a W2 if for suckers.

I don’t really see your problem with this exactly, she wants to set up a system for minimum wage workers to make more money….You don’t have to tip if you don’t want to, you always had that right…

Sure, but it's complicated. If Harris just said, "let's stop tipping," what would happen is that everyone would hate her, not that everyone would stop tipping. Tipping would increase. If Trump said it, the 20% or so of his most die-hard supporters would do it, and he'd lose, and other people would tip much more.

Generally, culture moves away from presidents.

To the last point, that’s also why we have parties. Just knowing what party a politician is in tells you literally 95% of their policy preferences. What distinguishes politicians within the party is generally priorities and capabilities.
