It’s one thing to say what you stand for, it’s another thing entirely to say you will make something happen. This is what makes people apathetic in voting because it feels like they make promises they have no intention on keeping. Harris supports codifying abortion and I’m all fucking here for it but she has no power to get that through congress, only to talk it up and not veto it.
Btw, this entire time you seem to have not noticed this article is over five years old and Kamala doesn’t support M4A, or any of her somewhat progressive stances from back then…
This is what makes people apathetic in voting
Yes.
People were moderately enthused about Kamala when we assumed she hadn’t done a 180 on everything people liked about her.
Her recent moves to the right will depress turnout.
Again, you’re getting hung up on the wrong thing. You seem to misunderstand what the actual role of the President is, which is mostly administrative. If you’ve been thinking every President has been doing things themselves, you’ve completely missed what the job is.
The actual governing powers of the role is almost non-existent aside from specific Executive Powers which have only come into existence in recent history, and are constantly assaulted by the minority party and courts.
