Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz doubled down on supporting failed policies in their newly released policy platform, which they unveiled just hours before this week’s presidential debate against former President Donald Trump.

The roughly 4,500-word platform was heavy on platitudes, did not go deep on many policy issues, and gave few explanations about how she expected to implement her agenda other than repeatedly saying she would “fight” for it.

She branded her agenda as a “New Way Forward” despite her already being at the helm for nearly four years in the Biden-Harris administration. Nowhere in her platform did she explain how her approach would differ from what she is currently doing.

The platform repeatedly linked Trump to a think tank’s “Project 2025” agenda, even though Trump has no links to the project and has thoroughly disavowed it.

Harris doubled down on her plan for how she will get people in homes with her “comprehensive plan to build three million more rental units and homes that are affordable to end the national housing supply crisis in her first term.”

Nowhere does she explain who will build the units and she once again insisted on jacking up demand and housing costs by giving first-time buyers $25,000 in down payment assistance.

She also declared that she will sign legislation to “outlaw new forms of price fixing by corporate landlords” without mentioning that it will first have to pass Congress.

Harris plans to magically create an “Opportunity Economy” in which people will submit 25 million new business applications by the end of her first term.

She once again doubled down on Soviet-style price controls, which do not work, to bring down costs that have surged in recent years because of her role in triggering the inflation crisis.

“She will go after bad actors who exploit an emergency to rip off consumers by calling for the first-ever federal ban on corporate price gouging on food and groceries,” her platform states. “And she’ll keep fighting to bring down prescription drug costs by taking on pharmacy middlemen, who raise consumers’ prices for their own gain and squeeze independent pharmacies’ profits.”

She doubled down on the socialist agenda of making health care “a right” and “not a privilege” — which is unconstitutional and incredibly stupid.

Harris signaled that she will continue to fight against the oil and gas industry and try to expand green energy, which is one of the top reasons that energy costs have skyrocketed under the Biden-Harris administration.

She will magically enact an agenda that “advances environmental justice, protects public lands and public health, increases resilience to climate disasters, lowers household energy costs, creates millions of new jobs, and continues to hold polluters accountable to secure clean air and water for all,” her platform stated.

Harris will support abortion and her platform gave no indication that she supports any kind of limits on it, meaning that she will support abortion up until the moment of birth.

Immediately after the section titled, “SAFEGUARD OUR FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS,” Harris declared that she will go after Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

She said that she will ban semi-automatic firearms, commonly used magazines, and that she will support laws that strip Americans of their due process rights by taking their firearms without going through the court system.

Her campaign tried to paint her disastrous border record as strong despite overseeing the worst 4-year period of illegal immigration in recorded U.S. history in which more than 10 million illegal aliens have flooded into the U.S.

Harris proposes in her platform rewarding the millions who broke federal law by illegally coming into the U.S., where they have wreaked havoc on communities across the country, by rewarding them with a “pathway to citizenship.”
