Well she did say she would lower grocery prices. I remember because people on the right said that means she wanted to do price controls, which "never work", and also hence she was a communist (with associated Ai art, too lol). There was a Citations Needed episode about it sort of recently, of how whenever a politician offers anything it means you're trying to bribe the voters. I also remember thinking she should focus harder on it during the campaign.
She also said she would defend abortion. After "defending democracy", that was probably the thing she focused on most, and it was a good thing to bring up, especially after Roe, and unlike democracy, is a material thing she theoretically could probably change.
The only problem is she couldn't say too much how she would do anything, because either that's communism, or the question is why isn't Biden doing that now. Because she can't really answer that question about why isn't Biden doing that now without saying, "well I'd do it differently" which apparently wasn't allowed.
IMO all of that kind of pales compared to supporting a genocide and it's worth not voting for them just to discourage them from doing that, but in good faith, there were minor domestic policy differences they brought up, even if in foreign policy they were identical. I am the Blorax and I speak for the libs.
Was the grocery prices thing the time she said she'd try to limit price gouging only during an emergency (like COVID supply shocks), or something else more meaningful?
Ya, it was something super milquetoast like that. And they still screamed that it made her the return of Stalin.
