It's time to regroup after the CNN interview. What are your views and opinions on Kamala Harris's latest interview with CNN? Thoughts regarding Tim Walz?
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/29/politics/takeaways-harris-walz-interview/index.html
Here are the main points:
Policy
She is going to implement her plan regarding an "opportunity economy." This includes bringing down the cost of everyday goods and extending the child tax credit to $6,000. She is also focusing on investing in small businesses and addressing the cost of housing (which includes a tax credit of $25,000 for first-time home buyers). You can find out more about her opportunity economy here:

She confirms that she does not want to ban fracking, and she will not do so as president. This is a change from her previous stance, although she claims she has not changed her values and her determination to create a green economy.
Madam Vice President has also vowed to address illegal immigration and she plans to increase the number of border patrol agents.
Personal Life
Kamala spoke a bit about old man Joe Biden. She doesn't regret endorsing him and claiming that he is fit to serve another four years in office. She is also proud to have served as his Vice President. She also discussed when she discovered that old man Joe Biden is dropping out of the race. It was a Sunday and she was spending time with her family. Just as they were sitting down to do a puzzle, old man Joe Biden called and announced that he is pulling out of the race. She didn't have to ask for his endorsement.
She didn't have much to say regarding Trump's attack on her race. He argued that she is claiming Blackness for political reasons. Kamala claims that Trump is using the "same old tired playbook".
Lastly, she spoke about the viral image of her and her grand niece. She says she was deeply touched by it, and that it was very humbling.
Public Reception
Ben Shapiro describes it as a "car crash interview" and he argues that it was boring and not a lot happened.
Sky News also gave a scathing reaction, claiming it wasn't an interview but a campaign ad instead. It is described as a "promo puff piece".
Not all reactions have been negative. You can see this on Reddit where user /u/Buttfulloffricks argues that Kamala knocked it out the park.
/u/flyoverliberal claims the following: "Lots of pointless gotcha questions instead of actually seeking information. Harris and Walz did well."
In a thread created by /u/ac_slater10, the user gives the overall interview a B+.

Conclusion
I'll be honest - I think it was a softball interview, and they didn't ask enough hard questions. It started off well but went downhill quickly. There is some merit to calling it a puff piece. Nevertheless, I'm glad that they spent time discussing policy, especially regarding creating a green economy. I'll give the overall interview 7/10 Hollys.

Devil's advocate: There might not be that many first-time buyers that qualify for this plan and $25,000 deposit won't get you anything that isn't a falling down shitbox so this might not have any real impact on the market... in which case it's a smart political play to look like she's Doing Something™ about an issue voters care about.

I live in the Midwest.
My house was built in 1948, 1200ft², 2 bedroom, full basement, hardwood floors, 2½ car garage, workshop, clean inspection.
Safe neighborhood, walking distance to grocery stores. Public transport is readily accessible if I were a poor. There's even a performing arts center within walking distance.
City is big enough to have Costco and Sam's Club, both within ten minutes.
I paid $90k for my house in 2013, it's worth 130k now.

Tbf the bong model is alright, it's basically just a graduate tax that expires after 30 years
problem is that no-one pays them off, so the government makes up the difference in funding so the taxpayer still pays

Meh, this won't really move the needle on those who are undecided. She doesn't have the presence or sound policy making to win over independents. The debate is going to be the only thing that matters unless a huge scandal occurs, all she has to do is sound more competent than Trump.

I'm surprised at the lack of any meaningful policy detail. I get that CNN will accept just about any non-answer but child tax credit isn't going to solve the economic problems faced.
Of course the wingcucks will say "there you go, she has a policy!", but it strikes me as her giving as little as possible. Promise nothing and you can't fail to deliver.

I just don't get it. A >40 minute interview is cut down to under 20 mins, and this is the best they can show? When you're asked how you'll fix a big issue you're supposed to use that opportunity to put forward your headline policy, not this weak shit.
"How will you tackle illegal Immigration?"
"Build a wall!"
"It's already illegal"

May I know how an opportunity economy works?
As I understand it, the opportunity economy seems like the equivalent of passing economic policies similar to those passed by some European nation states.
My question is wouldn't this slow down economic growth in the future due to limiting the growth prospects of certain high earning nodes in the economy?

reddit might as well be DNC headquarters. Nobody on there will give an honest opinion about any of this anymore than sky news or the manlet in chief.
Anything with her personal life is irrelevant to the job and her economic polices are abhorrent and r-slurred. You really shouldn't need to know anything else no matter how much an uphill battle she would have implementing her r-slurred ideas they are some of the worst ideas anyone has had ever.

There's not been any major news from the interview, so it probably went well. If she was able to speak without pooping her pants, then she looks better than Trump at the moment.
The attacks about her not doing interviews don't seem to be really landing, which is annoying - Harris literally doesn't have a policy page on her website, people don't actually know what she's going do. More interviews would be better, but with how much she's climbing without them, I see why she isn't bothering either way. If you don't need to stick your peepee into a beehive, then you don't do it.
