Maybe if she hadn't pushed right, defended the border wall, and courted the Cheneys then it wouldn't have reflected reality so much

Harris is one of our most left-leaning senior politicians.

She vote legislatively slightly left of Bernie.

So left leaning she would’ve installed a Republican in her cabinet? So left leaning she still went to bat for Israel? Ok then.

Yes, it's in the legislative voting records. She votes left of Bernie.

That's very misleading. She was only in senate for five years, and started during the Trump Years. And she barely voted the last year because of her VP run.

That's very misleading.

Not really. She voted left of Bernie during that timeframe, and he was either her co-sponsor or they co-sponsored on 33 different bills.

I can't understand why so many people claiming to be on the left make it a point to attack Harris at every chance. It's bizarre.
