Some people, as you can see in the video below, are simply vapid. And so too is Kamala Harris. And apparently, vapid attracts vapid. Maybe that's why they want to vote for her.

People realizing Trump racism is media manufactured fake news
Trump is not racist and people are awakening to that fact.
This needed to be done
Robert Reich is no economic guru, despite the clout he has in that field. He doesn't require a debunking per se, but Thomas Sowell does the right thing by not allowing Reich's half-baked ideas to go unchallenged:

Could have been so much worse
I'm going to give the Democrats credit, as evil as the party is, they could have been far, far worse in how they handled the Let's Go Brandon failure as a candidate. Not only could they have been far more sinister, they could have dramatically altered the course of the election.
Imagine if instead of installing Kamala Harris after a horrible, early Let's Go Brandon debate performance, instead the Democrats had allowed Brandon to make it to the convention, and to the second debate before realizing that Brandon could not win.
Then what? Instead of allowing the Secret Service to fail to protect Donald Trump, they could have orchestrated an assassination attempt on Let's Go Brandon and then installed Kamala Harris afterwards. That would have been so much worse:
- They could have avoided the appearance of being anti-Democratic and installing Kamala Harris the way they did. By responding to an assassination they would look like the victims rather than Trump looking like the victim of a deep state plot
- They could have continued to blame "crazed far-right lunatics" for the violence in the country, and blamed the GOP for their supposedly "heated rhetoric", thereby taking all the heat off their own crazy-talk anti-Trump rhetoric
- The effect of waiting for later to install Harris as the nominee would be the artificial poll bump that Harris received would have occurred closer to election day. When that bump inevitably ebbed it would perhaps still have lingered enough to have a slightly positive Democrat impact on the election outcome

Trump: Something real.
America's trade imbalance is complicated. It's not a sustainable situation long term. Donald Trump has a plan, right or wrong, it will have an impact. Kamala Harris' plan? "Look, I was raised a middle class kid..." That's a soundbite, that is not a plan. It's meaningless, yet it's her answer to every economic question.
Take away the complexity of tariffs, what Trump is proposing will have a real impact; it will either save jobs or if John Deere decides to offshore manufacturing regardless of the tariffs, they will face a massive increase in the cost of production. That cost will be passed on to consumers. The consumers will choose alternatives and John Deere will face declining sales and ultimately, likely, hardship.
In other words, Trump is doing something real. Harris cannot even fathom something real.
