(#5725) Harris needs to be bold and futuristic in her vision of our country

      As this election has tightened with trump, Harris needs to hurdle past him in the polls and the minds and hearts of the electorate. She has already outlined some domestic policies that give us glimpses of her vision but in broader terms we are still waiting to hear her more generalized policies toward health care for all, climate change and foreign policy around the globe, expansion of the Supreme Court and for Puerto Rico and Washington District of Columbia statehood. These are major issues when given context for all will enlighten us as to how Harris will approach democracy and the necessary legislation for it in America.
     In other words, Harris needs to now step out of the shadow of President Biden and tell us her full vision going forward with the confidence and assuredness we know she feels. She needs to know we trust her so that she can trust us to have her back and lay out her vision with an honorable contentment. It is her time now to show us who she is, with 31 days left until the election, as to what she wants for us. It has been a safe haven for her with Joe Biden in the background that initially catapulted her into a slight lead that has stabilized for her until now. But that momentum is spent. It is time for her to open up a new front against the corruptible republican trump by not only staring him down with steely eyed conviction but to offer America her most profound courage in regard to policies going forward.
     She knows what is fair and just in our society and she needs to trust her instinct on that, her handlers notwithstanding. Being real as a person is her best attribute so her drawing her line in the sand is what we are waiting for. She is a remarkable person with an objective mind that draws from humanity and logical reality. She needs to lean into that and know that she is one of us and what she believes in her heart is what we believe as well. Being bold with policies for the future that make sense to the working middle poor class is her best option to maximize voter turnout in her favor. We need her to show herself as herself without the cloak of Biden leaving her in the shadow of it.
