Let me fix that for you: a politician’s attempt to court disengaged voters by presenting a popular proposal. AKA democracy.

It’s better than pretending to work at a fast food restaurant while also ignoring health codes.

I don’t really think of proposing new policies as “desperate” so much as just trying to outline her goals to people who are still undecided.

Now if she went out and did some weird photoshoot stunt, I might start to pull out the desperate label.

A desperate attempt by Kamala to limit the number of women dying from pregnancy complications since they have little to no access to abortion?

that’s the hardest ratio on this site I’ve SEEN. The only upvote from one hundred and six people was from yourself.

I’ve got plus around 500 and minus around 500 on Reddit once EDIT: in the same day. Don’t remember which was which. The upvoted comment was vague approval of USSR’s actually existent checks and balances. I suspect the other one was generally the same at the same subreddit. I suspect when Redditors see something vague, they just guess, and then the next Redditor only looks at the vote count.

What is your specific issue with this policy?

I get that you think it is being done as a political stunt, but what is the actual issue you have with it aside from that?

Its a handout to condom companies and stores that otherwise would have to compete on price. Granted, I don’t know how it would be implemented, but these tend not to be implemented well

So it’s better to make people pay for their own condoms and other OTC contraceptives rather than have insurance cover it? Because that sounds worse to me.
