Plus, I live with the belief that people are idiots. Individuals can be quite intelligent, but put them in groups and they immediately become less intelligent. The bigger the group, the dumber they get.

That's because fitting in socially is an existential priority for humans. And we're not wired to be aware of that motivation to our beliefs.

"voters are unsure they know enough about where Kamala Harris stands"
Yeah, how about that.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Yeah, how about that.
Does it matter where she stands if she is unable to deliver on any of it?

We have had our share of embarrassing presidential behavior over the last 50 years.
But Ms. Harris could take us places we haven't yet imagined.
On the other hand, she could be wonderful. It's hard to say while she is hiding.

Ask Willie Brown about that one...

Well, for one thing, Kap was hardly unknown. He was a starting QB in the Super Bowl. For another thing, a Donald Trump supporter should not be casting stones about a candidate’s sexual escapades.

Imagine if it were Harris who had 5 kids from 3 different partners. Or twice as many divorces as the first 44 presidents combined.
Only non-witches get due process.

Beyond that, the guy sued a widow to get her to move out of her home so he could build a casino. He was one of the filthiest and most obnoxious guests on Howard Stern. He is the very epitome of sleaze.
And yet the Democrats keep putting up candidates that are even worse. It really is astounding.

I've come to the conclusion that a fair number of his supporters actually like that about him, which is quite a sad reflection of where we are.

Yeah much more risk for her in this debate. My predictions have been bad lately but overall there is a big shift (probably due to media coverage) of the awkward and cold approach of Trump/Vance and the authentic, warm, hopeful approach of Harris... like a mini Obama feeling from 2008 in terms of excitement and hope from her crowd. Hard to see her losing, which is something I really didn't think would happen a few months ago.
