    It is crazy how it took criticism for this to even happen. Someone you’re voting for should be able to list what their actual platform and agenda is. It helps to have it for record if you actually plan to attempt to hold these people in power accountable and not be on some weird parasocial worshiping stuff.

      In fact, I’d say that’s all they can do. No more advertising. You get a gvt funded web site where you post your resume and positions.

      the corporate media will never hold both parties to the same ballpark standard but like trump has pointedly denied involvement in project 2025 and he’s not once talked about a policy grounded in reality, but the point is this isn’t unusual its like the standard playbook. The only reason they went after Kamala on it is they don’t like her.

      Voters should expect policies, like you said. Its crazy this is allowed in the first place and the media enables it.

        The media has been awful when it comes to Trump and letting him set and control the conversation. He has made it so normal just to lie without pushback. I could understand to some extent why listing a platform feels pointless.
