Not the best for the country but it was a strategic move by the party. The democrats made no effort to strengthen the border for the first 3 years. Then then wanted to take action during the election cycle as to claim it as a win. I was just answering your question as to why she doesn't author a bill right now. No need to since there is already a bill ready to go. Trump said they needed to do something and they have. He is the person who killed it. Nothing else she can do as long as Trump controls his minions in congress. I agree it was a strategic move, just as Trump's is trying to claim she can do something she can't do. Wait, though, what's keeping Trump from green lighting that bill and get a vote to fund and address the border situation?

She's done well enough to use it as a springboard for the presidency. Now that's funny. She didn't receive a single vote All the votes Biden got when he was elected.

It's all strategic moves. Just as authoring a bill now would be. Albeit fruitless but the action would instantly counter the arguments she isn't doing anything with the remaining days in office. It's all posturing really

Right before the debate began, on NBC, they interviewed a registered R, a D, and an independent to get their take before and then again after. The registered Dem stated that he felt deceived by his party as not a single vote was cast for Harris. His words were the Democratic party is telling me what's best for me and I don't agree with that. I'm tryin to find the segment as it was interesting each of there takes. None were what I was expecting actually.

It's all posturing really I don't think she needs to should try to. It would play into Trump's hands as he could call it a political stunt and go on about waiting until it was too late. She isn't dumb enough to fall for that trap like Trump was during the debate by falling for the traps she set.

It's not a case of requirements. It's a case of your party subverting the primary process ultimately. But hey you all seem to like the choice that was made for you. Sans freedom of choice

Sans freedom of choice No subversion and they aren't my party. I am a registered Republican who thinks Trump is unqualified to be President and will destroy the GOP is he is allowed to continue. i will not be voting for Harris either. Each party has rules in place to select a candidate. There are rules to address a candidate stepping down after the primaries. The current primary system of voters actually choosing the candidate was began in the 70s after the 1968 Democratic convention. Before that party leaders actually chose the candidate. The other issue was, no other candidates stepped up and declared they wanted to run against Harris after Biden stepped down. Many talked about it, but nobody declared their candidacy. Had another candidate emerged, then a voting process may have been needed, but since there were none, the issue settled itself. I had anticipated a least one or Two other would have challenged her, but none did.

I suspect the party stymied any other challengers
Honestly I was expecting something closer to a Newsome Whitmer ticket

Maybe you could hit us with this lustrous highlight reel of accomplishments as VP? Google isn't returning much unfortunately. Naming anything memorable about a Vice President. There’s a reason they made a comedy about it.

There’s a reason they made a comedy about it. Who among you can name the first VP for Franklin Roosevelt? Remember what he said about the job? ( Keep in mind that his actual words might have been softened a bit for public consumption. )

But they allowed Karmala to lie all night long unfettered She didn't lie and doesn't lie like trump does, the orange idiot must be able to choke down a page or two of the national enquirer every now and then...eating pets, killing new borns They both lied a number of times during the debate. Apparently, you only believed the lies you wanted to. They’re politicians. Telling their base what they want to hear is what they do. The truth is often a casualty when they tell you what you want to hear. No different in this debate.
