She has a platform, proposed policies, lots of positive working class messaging, and tons of other stuff.
She is not only running on look how shitty Trump is. That is just the part that gets attention.
And yet during the q&a she fumbled so hard because all she could say is "Trump bad", going so far as to avoid every question. Shit like "if you could push anything through the Congress, what would be the one primary issue you would choose?". Literally there on the plate. But she didn't answer, instead saying "all of them are important". She said that Trump's wall was a good idea. When asked if she'd be for appointing more judges to the Supreme Court, she said she wants to reform it but she doesn't know how and needs to do research. Of course no change re: Palestine. She even said that now that Sinwar is dead, there will be peace in Palestine. And then she said that people who see Palestine as an important issue will still vote for her because of the price of groceries. And then kept talking about Trump. And then when asked if she would support Israel more than Trump would, she again avoided the question, and again defaulted to "Trump bad".
Her platform is how shitty trump is and embracing republican policies.
Have you actually read her 70 page platform?
Witty, but you're acknowledging that she does actually have a platform which extends beyond "not trump", even though too much of the marketing is sharing that message.
I'm not a fan of hers, nor am I credulous to everything she says. But I acknowledge that she has a platform, which is more than I can say for a stupid someone, whose "platform" is just two pages of heartstring issue bullet points. To be clear, I didn't tell you to read anything. I asked someone else if they've read her platform, and you jumped in.
You win. Congratulations
Sure
