Back when he was a Democrat and proposed a one time massive wealth tax.

Then he changed his mind (on both counts) and people started hating him.

What polices are those?

ETA: Waitagoddam minute! Found it! "I'm not Trump."

I'm sure it's the same policies, but the messaging is shifting to more of a "freedom, positive, hope, proud of being american" tone... something the GOP used to do a better job at. It's a good strategy too, we know most folks are tired of the division, fighting, old candidates, and what not.

Don't get me wrong, I think we can all agree 6 months ago Kamala was a loser. She lost in the primaries in 2020. She did nothing as VP. She was selected because her melanin levels are higher and doesn't have a Y chromosome. Her approval ratings were low. BUT... the left were sitting on their hands. Sitting on their wallets. Sitting on their energy. So once old man Biden left and an energetic, laughing, positive-ish person came on stage, the floodgates of energy and money opened. And now she's using a tone to try and attract the independents who want a change of tone.

If elected, the buyer's remorse will be stupendous.

Pick any woman of color, any one at all.

They could beat Mr. Trump.

It is her turn.

OK, it's really Hillary's turn, but the dems will settle for this.
