[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 411998, member: 35"] Harris is accused of giving word salad speeches because she struggles to form a coherent thought. It has nothing to do with avoiding specifics or relying on a prepared speech (although she does that too.) Take President Obama, for example. He was a neoliberal charlatan just like Harris, but he knew how to craft an articulate, coherent narrative to win over people. In contrast, Harris often back pedals, rambles, and meanders when trying to answer a question. The Bernie Sanders video you posted also reinforces my point. Sanders has always articulated his thoughts well, although I don't buy what he's selling here. Harris plans to continue sending billions to Israel, and Sanders knows she doesn't have a plan to deescalate the situation. That's why I think Sanders is being both disingenuous and flippant. By predicting that Trump will make the situation worse if he gets in office, Sanders is effectively undermining the damage that the Biden Administration has already caused for a solid year. The need for humanitarian aid would be much less if the US wasn't funding Israel's genocide in Gaza, which Sanders glosses over. Dems want credit for being "the good guys," despite their role in the devastation and destruction. As for abortion rights, Obama betrayed his promise to codify them (which he had the ability to do in 2009.) Funny how Dems never mention that. Another issue that Sanders mentioned is climate change. Harris infamously flip-flopped on fracking, which she now proudly supports. Lastly, Sanders brought up the minimum wage. He must want us to forget that Biden promised to raise it when he took office. As per usual, Sanders expects voters to hold Trump accountable for the lies and failures of Dems. Sanders is right that Trump won't solve the pressing issues of our time, but what good does voting Democrat do if they won't fight to solve them either? That's why I cast my vote for Jill Stein. Sanders accused Trump's rally speakers of attacking Harris for being "a woman of color." While that may be true, I oppose her [I]and[/I] Trump for what they stand for. [/QUOTE]
