Harris was at her best when she was discussing her visions for the future and telling voters what she and Democrats would do for them and for the country.

People want to vote *for* someone and not just against someone else. Contrary to assertions, everyone knows what and who Trump is. Beating voters over the head with it for the 4,000th time probably accomplished next to nothing. We should learn something from that, but I'm not sure we will.
