Harris has received zero votes to become President. Biden was the choice during the primaries. While it is almost certainly an academic exercise (especially since The DNC already argued in court that it's their right to just pick whoever they want to in smoke filled back rooms), no average citizen got to vote and say whether they accept Harris for Democratic President Runner.
Even as someone not voting Harris, I'm not all that pressed about losing the opportunity to vote for someone in the primary that I would vote for just because there would be a 0% chance the DNC wouldn't just circle the wagons around her and make sure she was voted for the nomination anyway.
I said to someone recently that one of the things I actually like about the GOP is that they generally run a mostly fair primary and stick by the result, regardless of who that result might be. As opposed to the Dem rules designed to put a thumb on the scale and the various kinds of ratfucking that happen. As I like to point out, in the 2016 primary in my state Sanders only got 53% of the primary vote to Hillary's 35%, which is why Hillary only narrowly won the state.
When he was president he wanted to cut medicare and social security, but didn't because it was unpopular.
Same reason he probably wouldn't do it in a second term - he's a narcissist. He can't handle being disliked by the right (or "right") people or worse being ignored outright. Cutting medicare and social security would damage the font of love and attention he gets from his cult (too many of which benefit from those things and would feel it too quickly to blame on the next POTUS), so it's probably off the table.
Trump is getting yelled at by the anti-abortion crowd because he just can't help but tell people what they want to hear.
The Trump campaign has sought to walk back his comments suggesting he favored a ballot measure to expand abortion access in Florida.

Again, Trump holds no actual positions outside his own narcissism.
What stops the supreme court from saying that law is unconstitutional and ignoring it in favor of state's rights?
Article IV, Section 1? The Respect For Marriage Act is basically spelling out obligations states already have under Article IV, Section 1. Full faith and credit is likely to be the spine of any argument against overturning Obergefell, which is something you couldn't apply to Roe.
The 2024 Democratic Platform was quietly released Monday at the DNC, and again ignored men

I love not living in a swing state where the top of the ticket does matter. Still, I am voting for Harris, and leaving the Senate vote blank.
Neither party cares about men, except for the tax revenue they generate.
You could have copied their post count for the number, give your comment that extra something.
That implies an average of one incident per post, depending on topic it may be much higher than that, but can only possibly go a little lower.
No no, it is that she is an empty skulled empty suit who should be held responsible for the last 3.5 years of misery and betrayal we have been through and gives a terrible interview.
You understand she hasn't been president for the last 3.5 years, and that the job of VP is essentially a tiebreaker and understudy, right? Like she could suggest things to Biden, but he's under no obligation to follow her advice at all.
Or to put it another way, was Pence at least as responsible for what occurred during Trump's first term than Trump was? Do you think the Trump cult would vote for Pence?
And yes, they've been selling us out to an evil cabal.
And who, exactly is this cabal?
1 warned of "Trump's Project 2025" which as far as I know, he is unaware of what it even is
Speaker 1: (singing) Speaker 2: Welcome to stage, Heritage Foundation president, Dr. Kevin Roberts. Kevin Roberts: Thank you folks so much for being her...

That's Trump speaking before the Heritage Foundation in 2022.
Donald Trump said:
But this is a great group. And they’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America and that’s coming. That’s coming.
He's literally in front of the organization behind Project 2025, talking about Project 2025 in that quote. So, he's giving a speech to the people behind Project 2025 describing Project 2025 as a detailed plan "for exactly what our movement will do" and also has no idea what it is and is totally ignorant of it? And that's ignoring that several of the people directly involved in writing it were members of his previous administration.
