How Generic Can Kamala Harris Be? (www.newyorker.com)

As wildly different as Harris and Trump are, their campaigns seem to share a degree of indifference to the specifics of what their candidates are saying, because both campaigns realize that many of their voters are unconcerned about such details—or, at the very least, are unlikely to be moved by them. What matters to many voters right now is their hatred and fear, however justified, of the opposing candidate, and the fun they have calling the other side weird, dangerous, and deranged.

I’m not sure everyone that is commenting actually read the full article

The article is about Kamala, but also, on a deeper level, it is about the roles and responsibilities of the press. From a liberal slanting (take that as center left) publication un the US this is surprising

The author exposes the kid gloves that the media is treating Kamala Harris with

Great article

Full disclaimer, I usually hate opinion pieces and don’t particularly care for the New Yorker

A lot of people just read the headline only. It really was a good piece.
