What's odd is how the MAGA cult insists Harris hasn't defined her policy positions, while Trump has.

Thanks for the link. It's a good and simple read. Everybody can and should be able to understand it.

Also thanks for the reference to the bias ratings, though that likely won't prevent the onslaught of criticism from the Trumpistas.

Where Harris stands on the issues:

Foreign Policy: Whatever she thinks will get her elected
Economic Policy: Whatever she thinks will get her elected
Education: Whatever she thinks will get her elected
Climate: Whatever she thinks will get her elected
Abortion: Whatever she thinks will get her elected

And here's where Trump stands:

Foreign Policy: Whatever he thinks will get him elected
Economic Policy: Whatever he thinks will get him elected
Education: Whatever he thinks will get him elected
Climate: Whatever he thinks will get him elected
Abortion: Whatever he thinks will get him elected

Kamala has switched positions on issues like fracking, decriminalization of border crossings, electric vehicle mandates, and the maximum capital gains tax to either get more votes or more donor support.

Trump similarly moved to the center on abortion after he realized he really fucked up with his Supreme Court appointments. The Dobbs decision will hurt him at the polls. He's proposing all kinds of tax breaks to get more votes.

Trump however, unlike Harris, does have a few core beliefs. One, which I strongly disagree with, is that sky high tariffs are good. Another, which I strongly agree with, is that an appropriate (lower) level of regulation and taxation benefits the economy and the nation. A third core belief is that he's never wrong. Or at least he'll never admit he was wrong. Ergo he'll never admit he fucked up big time when he tried to steal the 2020 election.

Trump unlike Harris has core beliefs?

I suppose you're right. But not in the way you intend it.
