No, Kamala Harris Isn't A ‘Moderate' ‐ She's A Radical Threat To America
[Federalist] Once Joe Biden named Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate for the upcoming 2020 election, it didn’t take long for the media to begin its latest attempt to gaslight Americans.

In the Associated Press announcement of Biden’s choice, AP writers Kathleen Ronayne and Will Weissert write approvingly of Harris’s "centrist record" as a contributing factor in the decision. Longtime political analyst and lobbyist Doug Schoen praised Biden’s pick while arguing Harris "could help Biden solidify his position among centrist voters and even moderate Republican voters."

Not to be outdone, The New York Times characterized Harris as a "pragmatic moderate." In an additional Harris announcement for the Times, Jonathan Martin and Astead W. Herndon refer to Harris and Biden as "two moderates" who share "center-left politics."

Yet an analysis of Harris’s voting record in the U.S. Senate, as well as policies she has proposed, reveal quite a different story. Her positions form an agenda nearly entirely in lock-step with the radical leftist ideology that has taken over the Democratic Party. Indeed, if Biden wins the 2020 race for the White House, Sen. Harris (D-Calif.) will find herself in a unique position to pose a genuine threat to the values that built the United States of America.

According to a detailed assessment by Voteview, Harris holds a voting record farther left than 97 percent of Democrats in the 116th Senate, and more liberal than 99 percent of the Senate as a whole. Of current members of the U.S. Senate, Harris ranks more liberal than Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) while placing as the Democrat with the most liberal voting record in the chamber aside from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).

Harris has stated that illegal immigrants in the United States are not criminals — which defines both logic and traditional definitions of standard English words like "illegal" and "criminal" — and once likened U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to members of the Ku Klux Klan for having the temerity to enforce the law.

#2 Imagine, if they win in November, Kamala might get about 11 years as Frau President.

#5 These writers may have a point - anyone to the right of Trotsky is a centrist, relatively speaking.

#6 What I love about Kamala is they chose her thinking she was a prosecutor when younger so tough on crime will like her, and she was progressive as a senator so progressives will like her...

But the reality Progressives hate her tough on crime years and anyone that likes Law Enforcement hates her progressive years. Then her attacks on civil liberties and her immigration and not really black American history chases off pretty much everyone else in the big Democrat tent.

Worst choice possible if they want to unite their party. Of course if they want to hide bodies that are nearly uncovered, well she might be a good choice in that case.

#7 She got 2% in the run-up last year before they awarded it to Mista Plugz. The Dems know that they will get trounced in Nov. and why waste a good candidates career. Biden (aka Skeletor) is already dead man walking so no worries there. Kamala (pronounced Commie La) is despised almost universally as RJ indicates. Expendable
