Despite being in the presidential race for over two weeks now, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign website still has zero policies listed.

As of August 5, the official campaign website contains a “Meet Kamala Harris” section and a “Take Action” section, as well as two different options to fund her campaign — the merchandise store and a “Donate” button — but there aren’t any sections that list her political positions on issues or policy plans.

Screenshots of Harris’ campaign website have gone viral, with many users pointing out that it is not very surprising that she is avoiding listing her policies — as the Democrat Party is currently extremely divided on many issues, and picking sides on those issues is likely to cause her to lose support from the opposing side.
One of the most divisive issue for the party right now is the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, with older Democrats supporting Israel and the younger radicals in the party being either pro-Palestine or outright pro-Hamas. Harris has thus far played both sides of the issue, which was enough for many of the pro-Israel Democrats, but still angered the anti-Israel part of the base. Thus, if Harris actually definitively chooses a side, she is going to lose a significant amount of support — though many will probably still vote for her in the end due to the fearmongering about former President Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, Trump’s website is filled with his political beliefs and planned policy changes for his second term.

While Harris continues to focus a lot of her campaigning on pushing anti-Trump hysteria and pro-abortion issues, the recent policy prescriptions put out by her campaign involve anonymous campaign staff speaking to mainstream media outlets — where they have reported that Harris has completely changed her mind on several issues.
I'm going to keep a running thread of issues that Kamala Harris has flip flopped on.

For example, anonymous campaign officials reportedly told the New York Times that Harris now supports fracking, wants to increase funding for the southern border, does not want to ban assault weapons and force Americans to sell them to the government, and is no longer in favor of “a single-payer health insurance system.”

While many believe that Kamala Harris’ flip-flopping is part of an effort to save her campaign from being forced to admit to the vice president’s radical past, Democrats have desperately tried to defend Harris — with Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA) claiming in a CNN interview on Sunday that the vice president has changed her mind often because she is a “human being” and “the conditions of our country changes every day.”
CNN: Kamala supported Defund the Police, decriminalizing illegal border crossings, eliminating private insurance, and a fracking ban — now her campaign is trying to walk it back.
