Hill Dems try to tamp down backlash to Harris’ grocery price gouging pitch
Under pressure to defend Kamala Harris’ grocery price gouging plan, some Democratic lawmakers are delivering a quiet message to anxious allies: Don’t worry about the details. It’s never going to pass Congress.
a bill has no chance of passing Congress anytime soon, even if Democrats win the White House and Congress this November, according to six Democratic lawmakers and five Democratic aides who were granted anonymity to discuss the matter candidly. These people said Democrats in Congress have privately been telling critics that this part of the Harris plan is not viable.

Kamala Harris’s proposed price-gouging ban might irritate academics, but it makes sense to everyone else.

Kamala’s price-gouging backtrack is blatant gaslighting
Kamala Harris is backpedaling again, this time on her plan to ban “price gouging.”
Sources “familiar” with Harris’ “thinking on the ban” anonymously told The New York Times this week that the policy would be “narrowly tailored to the food and grocery industries” and “would likely be reserved for emergency situations, like the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster or the thick of a pandemic.”

Over a month into her campaign for president, over three and a half years as second in command at the White House, and now with the DNC in the books; Kamala Harris still has no cohesive set of policy positions to define her campaign and to explain to the American people what they will be getting if they elect her president in November.

I think that you are mistaken regarding the allegation that she "still has no cohesive set of policy positions to define her campaign and to explain to the American people what they will be getting..."
Matter of fact, her policy positions have been published and clearly articulated. You can see them in writing at this link here.
ETA: Then, for further clarification, there's this
Hope that helps.

the left here on ATS have proven to be mostly intelligent people, at least in their ability to communicate, and even argue ideas. This is what I think most of us call a gargantuan issue with Harris' campaign. She has no plans other than the few she has mentioned, and of those, the bulk (of the few) seem to be ludicrous. When those on the left are asked about this, we get whataboutism, and crickets. At some point, doesn't the emperor's new cloths need to be talked about like adults?
Now all this isn't a direct move to communism, but even a slow person could see, this is a move towards socialism, and one that would just erode our economy more than it is currently. I'm concerned for the cult mentality that has brought us here. It exists in some form in both sides, but to deny one, while promoting the other won't help anything.
Is destroying the entire nation the goal?

well written OP, forgot to mention that.

The phony job numbers isn't helping either. No Democrat has explained it.
And the price gouging thing ---- why hasn't The Biden Admin done anything?? He was harping on price gouging a while back and then he seemed to just suddenly shut up about it.
All phony BS from Democrats. 🤣🤣

Didn’t she say something about an executive order and guns or something too?
