How can anyone declare Kamala Harris as a "moderate centrist", when she's officially the most liberal, 'progressive' Democrat in the US Senate?

According to non-partisan GovTrack, which uses rational, consistent mathematical algorithms combined with a record of policy proposals, votes, and sponsorships to place lawmakers on the left-right spectrum (as opposed to subjective conjecture from dogmatically progressive journalists at a major liberal media organisation, as has been the case at the NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSM and all the others trying to tout her as a moderate centrist), Kamala Harris is officially the singular MOST left-wing radical Senator in the US, and literally the one and only US Senator who's had an even MORE left-wing extremist and Marxist track record in the last year than Bernie Sanders. So, what gives? And how biased would you have to be to declare her as a "moderate centrist"?

Lol. If you really think she is the most left wing extremist. To the left, to the left.

Hey, that's what govtrack says, based on her political actions and legislative behavior in the past year. It's not subjective opinion, it's official...

We could definitely go even further to the left.

[DevilsAdvocator]

How far is too far left? Is there any such thing, in your opinion- or are regimes such as those of the PRC and North Korea still further to the right than your ideal utopian vision?

[1truekhaleesi]

Kamala Harris as DA was responsible for a law that disproportionately affected people of color, so yes we can go further to the left. Fuck that I guess. Nothing will ever be enough for my utopian vision. Beyonce needs to rule us all.

She's far-right or far-left depending on the issue. On crime she's clearly far-right to the point of almost being a fascist. On healthcare she's far-left. On feminism she's an SJW to the point she throws logic out the window. On immigration she's a Marxist. On guns she's a fasicst.

If you define your position on the political scale based on your views instead of relative to other politicians, it could entirely be the case that someone may be very progressive for a country but still is just a centrist.

Because most of you are dumb cattle who will believe whatever your favorite people on the screens tell you. Democracy is pretty terrible. Especially when you have a two party system.

[DanielStark]

Doesn't matter anyway, the people with real power are people you'll probably never hear about.

Why are you UK people so obsessed with our politics? We don't constantly tell you what's right and wrong in your area of the worlds. So shut up about ours. When Trump was voted into office, it was about making America great, meaning America first for America's sake. You have no part in it foreigner. Fuck off. Go drunk some of that tea lobsterback.

[normalice]

honestly, the left-right spectrum is meaningless as long as "voting" or "not being a fraud" or "not putting kids in cages and routinely raping them" are considered radical left ideas.

[OddBeMe]

Bc she’s not. Eliz Warren or AOC is.

Who cares?

Hey, if you're ordering a meal from a restaurant's menu, wouldn't you care if it was being presented as "balanced, healthy and nutritious", only to receive a single air-filled vegan calorie-free rice cracker on your plate, and find that you're getting charged more than $100 for it?

The dictator in power now is far more worrisome than little ol Kamala Harris. Im more concerned with this: www.politico.com/.../house-republicans-condemn-gop-candidate-racist-videos-325579

Here are my two favorite parts:
" She (Marjorie Greene) described Black people as “slaves to the Democratic party” who should feel “proud” to see a Confederate monument because it symbolizes progress made since the Civil War."
and this...
"In recordings obtained by POLITICO, Greene described Islamic nations under Sharia law as places where men have sex with "little boys, little girls, multiple women" and "marry their sisters" and "their cousins." Aw hell, I thought for sure she was talking about Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky !!

Well to be fair, in the case of the latter, it is kind of true...

FYI, 'consanguinity'= cousin (or even closer relatives, incl. sisters) marriage. So as you can see, even Alabama's got nothing on any nation in the Islamosphere- let alone Pakistan and Sudan, the only nations in the world where more than half of the population's married to their first cousins or closer relatives...
