    While presidential candidate Kamala Harris avoids media questions about her proposed policies, both she and her progressive allies in the Democratic Party are already on record as favoring a number of highly controversial proposals, ranging from defunding the police to free college education. But do average Americans agree? The latest I&I/TIPP Poll provides answers.

    The national online poll of 1,488 adults, taken from July 31-August 2, shows it’s a mixed bag. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points.

    It starts with a neutral question: “To what extent do you support or oppose the following actions?” That’s followed by 11 policy actions, for which respondents were given five possible responses: “Support strongly,” “support somewhat,” “oppose strongly,” “oppose somewhat,” and “not sure.” The answers were then aggregated to show simplified categories of “support” or “oppose.”

    Took 11.5 seconds to see that none of those are Harris policies. 1. Defund the police.

    She just needs to make a better case for her signature policies of kicking puppies, banning apple pie and slapping babies

    I'm a one-policy voter; Drumpty Dumpty doesn't belong within 100 miles of DC.

    This is a really bad rationale. This is how wacko radical extremists end up taking over our country. At least with Biden, we had some evidence of moderation in his policies, although he cucked out to the progressive left a lot. Kamala Harris was rated to the left of Bernie Sanders.

    Harris is pro democracy and will concede when she loses. Her opponent won't. No other policies matter.

    Now regarding Trump, what policies does he espouse other than setting up concentration camps for immigrants? All he or any other republicans talk about otherwise is making sure trans women don't enter arm wrestling competitions and that no men's rooms have a tampon dispenser.

    You forgot Trump's proposal for an across the board tax increase on every American.
    Trump is proposing a 10% tariff. Economists say that amounts to a $1,700 tax on Americans.

    I have friends who maintain they’re leaving the US if Trump wins. But when I press them to cite policies of Trump that drive them to ruin, they can only resort to basically Trump is Hitler

    You should stop hanging out with idiots (although you are the average of the 5 people with whom you spend the most time).
