Not for ALL voters. There is a large contingent of Trump voters, for instance, that actually DO believe in his policies. I can't say the same for Kamala voters, because she never laid out any policies, either in written or verbal form.
In an ideal world, every candidate would go on record, and lay out exactly what they were for, and sign a pledge to support those things via the political process and their votes.
That way, citizens (I used that word specifically) could make a completely informed vote, and would have a written record to compare what the candidate (if elected) said, and what they did. They could use that information the next time that person was running for office.
For obvious reasons, candidates are not too keen on that anymore. (When I was a young kid, already abnormally into politics, for a 7 year old, candidates WOULD actually publish their platform and positions. You rarely see that now. )
Even if they did, I doubt that the vast majority of voters would even bother to read them, or even understand them if they tried.
Trump at least DID that. You might be diametrically against his views/positions etc. but at least they're out there. This has the effect of rendering ALL of Kamala's votes "popularity/personality" driven. And that's a shame. I truly mean that.
