This article says that Harris's campaign platforms were released in early September which is more than two weeks away from the election.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4869169-harris-campaign-site-policy-positions/

Article says:

The Harris campaign site’s section on the economy outlines proposals to cut taxes for middle class families; make rent more affordable and homeownership more attainable; grow small businesses and invest in entrepreneurs, among other sections. And, it ends with a contrast to “Trump’s Project 2025 agenda,” which it argues would “jack up prices.”

This contradicts:

No, but she’d continue to allow her golf buddies to price gouge you for everything from food, to electricity, to rent and stand idly by while you’re evicted and criminalized for being homeless.

This contradicts:

No, it really doesn't. Her words contradict it surely. But reality tells a different story, with 25% of Americans being functionally unemployed.

And she was also adamant that she wouldn't operate any differently than Joe Biden, so voters could rest assured they weren't getting any meaningful relief from her.

I, and most Americans, are past the point of giving Democrats credit for saying nice things. They needed meaningful action, and the claims of being powerless ring hollow when you watch Donald actually using the powers of the presidency to make change.

This contradicts:

No it really doesn't, not if you have any experience with what positions mean when they say things like "grow small businesses and invest in entrepreneurs"

Oh, we have perhaps too much familiarity with the positions of Democratic lawmakers.

Hence the 25% effective unemployment.

It's why no one believes Democrats when they make these extravagant promises.
