It’s one thing if Harris came out and explained why she’s radically shifted from her entire 2020 platform. Then voters can decide for themselves if they believe her. It’s quite another for random campaign leaks to frame her as a moderate with completely different positions and then, while she refuses to answer any questions, for the press to just pretend the previous positions she herself adopted don’t exist and all that matters is the leaks. In fact, the refusal to do interviews and answer questions should be treated as evidence that she hasn’t shifted at all and is just trying to deceive the public about her actual positions. Especially since if she gets elected there will be no pressure on her to maintain the more moderate positions since she was never forced to publicly defend/explain.
