Democrats want Americans to vote for Harris first before finding out exactly what she stands for.
Democrat lawmakers are begging Kamala Harris not to release any more policy proposals until after the election.
In other words, Democrats want Americans to vote for Harris first before finding out exactly what she stands for — a signature Democrat tactic.

Democrats are worried about losing the House and Senate in addition to the White House and want Harris to take her “basement campaign” strategy of avoiding the press to the next level by not letting voters even know her policies until after Election Day, Politico reported Friday.
Polls show 70% of registered Democrats and independents who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 are ignorant of many of Harris’s controversial and radical positions, and Democrat lawmakers are seeking to exploit that.
From Politico:
Congressional Democrats are largely content to wait until after the election for Kamala Harris to drill down on her policy agenda.
As she picks up the mantle from President Joe Biden and heads into an energized convention next week, the Democratic nominee is slowly rolling out some policy proposals and disavowing some of her former positions. But mostly, she’s leaning into a general positive message that has wider appeal, specifically because it’s light on the details.
Democratic lawmakers call it a savvy strategy. They’d rather lay out a specific plan post-November, when a potential President-elect Harris would have to staff up her administration and determine her governing priorities.
“She doesn’t need to negotiate against herself. We’ve got the biggest possible tent right now,” said Rep. Ann McLane Kuster (D-N.H.), chair of the centrist New Democrats. “I don’t think there’s a real strong reason for her to try to weed out any points of view right now.”
Another battleground-district Democrat told the outlet, “They [voters] have very little knowledge about who she is, what her job has actually been. They know Trump. They know what his policies are. They don’t know Kamala. And so Kamala has a ton of room right now to define herself.”
Politico added, “They’ve seen polls, in the presidential race and down ballot, shift in their favor after Harris’ rise, and believe her lack of fidelity to certain policy positions will continue to be an asset to elections across the country.”
The Wall Street Journal also reported that Harris campaign advisers are worried about publicly releasing “thorny details” of their economic plan because “specifics might backfire on the campaign.”
It’s not difficult to see why Democrats are terrified of revealing the real Kamala.
CNN and The Washington Post have already outright condemned Harris’s proposal to impose communist-style price controls on food via legislation aimed at banning “price gouging” at grocery stores, which she announced Friday.

Harris also pledged to provide $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time home buyers and to create three million new homes if elected, all policy proposals that socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) praised her for on Saturday.
Two other policies she stole from the Trump campaign: The “No Tax on Tips” policy and a $5,000 child tax credit for families which she bumped up to $6,000.
Former President Donald Trump railed against Harris’s radical economic agenda on Saturday.
“If you think things are expensive now, they will get 100 times WORSE if Kamala gets four years as President. Under her plan, Kamala will implement SOVIET Style Price Controls,” Trump wrote on X.

“She will abolish private health care, and make California’s ridiculous tax policies the law of the land, meaning EVERY American will be taxed up to 80% of their income! If you want more CASH and less TAX, VOTE TRUMP!!!”
The Harris campaign is already shaping up to the be the most radical and least transparent campaign in modern history.
The media hasn’t interviewed Harris on television since June 24 and the last time the press reportedly questioned her at a solo news conference was eight months ago on December 2, 2023.
Deliberately hiding her policy platform from voters until after the election takes it step further into an full-blown SCAM-PAIGN.
