I am begging people who think that Harris is a centrist to look up her Senate voting records.
Because this is where Kamala Harris fell according to her voting record in her last term as Senate
Compare that to where Hillary Clinton landed in her last Senate term
Or even Bernie Sanders (note: the metrics of anything like this are subjective enough that I’m not using this to argue that Harris is more leftist than Sanders just because she falls slightly to the left on this chart. But it *is* notable that both she and Sanders are outliers to the left).
Now I’m telling you this because it’s probably not gonna be emphasized in her campaign. They’re probably not going to tout her extremely liberal voting record in the big general speeches, because they have to win the swing voters (the ones who voted for Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020) in order to win the election. That is campaign politics unfortunately.
But that doesn’t make the record go away and it doesn’t take away the fact that she is in fact a left-leaning candidate. She’s not a centrist. And the idea that we could let someone with this progressive of a voting record slip through our fingers and we get Trump instead because she’s “too centrist” is mind-boggling.
This is the rhetoric that changes people’s minds.
