Batya Ungar-Sargon is a writer for Newsweek (yeah, we’re surprised too), and a publication called American Compass.

I held out hope that at least Harris’s own speech would develop her economic vision and present struggling Americans with a significant choice between Trump’s protectionism and the distributionist model Harris laid out in her speech. But her campaign has already started backing off her promise to use price controls to tame inflation, and her DNC address was completely devoid of any policy whatsoever.
It was instead a list of platitudes: “I will be a president who unites us around our highest aspirations.”
“A strong middle class has always been critical to America’s success, and building that middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.”
“I know we can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants and reform our broken immigration system.”
“America, let us show each other and the world who we are and what we stand for: freedom, opportunity, compassion, dignity, fairness and endless possibilities.”
