Here is a bullet list of her major platform issues. Tons of spending and give away programs. There are about 2 things from this list I agree with. The rest are unrealistic at best and anti-American/socialist at worst. She is also against state's rights in some cases. I have highlighted some of the crazier things she stands for. It actually is most of the list!!!
Even liberals, how do you defend some of this stuff? Green new deal? Free college tuition (nothing is free). Full term abortion and taking away state's rights? She is a socialist/communist.
Green New Deal: Co-sponsor Medicare for All: Co-sponsored Sen. Bernie Sanders' bill.
Drug prices: Would allow the Department of Health and Human Services to determine a "fair price" for drugs meeting certain conditions, per the Washington Post.
Marijuana legalization: Proposed federal legalization of marijuana.
Teacher pay: Has a plan to give the average teacher a $13,500 salary increase, costing an estimated $315 billion over 10 years. Taxes: Introduced the LIFT the Middle Class Act, which Vox's Dylan Matthews explained as an expansion of the earned income tax credit. She also proposed offering tax credits to help people pay rent.
In May, said she'd fully repeal the 2017 Republican tax law and replace it with LIFT. Abortion: Proposed requiring states that restrict abortion access to clear new reproductive health laws with the DOJ.
Sex work: Supports decriminalizing sex work.
Death penalty: Proposes ending and has previously called for a national moratorium on the death penalty.
Guns: Proposed a ban on importing AR-15-style assault weapons. She has suggested executive orders requiring background checks, closing the "boyfriend" loophole and allowing victims to hold gun manufacturers responsible. She also supports mandatory buybacks on assault weapons. HIV: Would require private and public insurance plans to cover Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) without copays, along with any corresponding tests. The bill would include a grant program to increase access for uninsured Americans.
Income inequality: Proposes investing $100 billion in black homeownership to close the racial inequality gap.
Domestic terrorism: Would create a federal "red flag" law and background checks. Climate: Wants a new "climate pollution fee" on industry, and to incorporate her "climate equity act."
Criminal justice: Proposed a plan to end mass incarceration, help felons reintegrate into society and increase oversight of police and prosecutors. Childcare: Offered 6 months' paid family leave, childcare subsidies and free preschool for low- and moderate-income families.
Student debt: Proposes student loan forgiveness for those making less than $100,000 a year, free community college, making attending university debt-free and interest-free student loans.
So in summary you, along with the other Trump supporters are now worried?
Mission accomplished.

Really, how so? How does this not crush the economy, lead to greater dependence on the government (aka government slaves),support the 2nd amendment, protect unborn children from those who abuse abortion, why should I subsidize homosexual behavior, pay for someone else's childcare, pay for someones else's college (i paid off my own debt through massive sacrifice).
Ah just fess up. You'll never be content with a Democratic administration, just say it. As only the VP, I bet she'll achieve twice as many great accomplishments as Trump would ever as POTUS.

You see they have offered nothing substantive. Responses are pretty much 10 words or less.
She sounds pretty close to perfect for most Americans.
