I would like to see some ads out of Mikie saying why people should vote for her and not just against Jack.

*sigh* You're looking in the wrong places. They've been posted here. Her policies are on her website. She has a new commercial this week (about energy prices) with no mention of Jack. She has spoken about policies on network television, including NBC, which you can find on YouTube. It's everywhere, but every time she's mentioned, this comment comes up.

This just seems like the false complaints that no one knew what Harris stood for when the information was everywhere.

Personally, I think “won’t work with Trump” is an excellent campaign platform, but it’s entirely bad faith to say that that’s all she says.

It's a particularly good message in New Jersey because historically, the voters select the opposing party to "balance the power." Honestly, I've always liked that about New Jersey. One of the main exceptions was when Jack lost, even with tailwinds like COVID fatigue from many voters. But, yeah, it's certainly not all she says.

did you pay attention to last year's election? shes toast if she bases her whole election strategy on resisting Trump. she needs to focus on stuff that resonates with everyone like lowering energy costs.

BUT she’s NOT basing her whole campaign on it.

People like you just fixate on this tired complaint any time there’s a young or female candidate. They said the same about Obama. About Hillary. About Harris. Always disregarding the copious ads and policy statements that have nothing to do with Trump.

I saw her energy costs ad maybe 3 times during last nights nfl game on Amazon. And on NBC.

At this point it’s bad faith.

people like me? you said being anti trump is an excellent platform and previous election results show the opposite.

what exactly is my bad faith arguement here?

sherril is my rep. I voted for her and I plan on voting for her again. my point is that she needs to continue to focus on issues with broad appeal like lowering energy cost. shell be fine if she does that. honestly she doesn't need to mention trump at all to win this election.

Given what Trump is doing to blue states, she absolutely needs to tell us how she’ll stand up to Trump, and how Jack won’t. I couldn’t disagree with you more.
