Kamala Harris is a radical leftist who holds many expressed views far outside the mainstream of American political thought.
No leftist of her ilk has ever come close to being elected. In 1972, George McGovern lost 49 states and garnered only 37% of the vote. And McGovern was a moderate compared to Harris.
Joe Biden put Kamala Harris on the ballot in 2020 because she was 1) a woman, 2) black, 3) a radical-left liberal. She was named Biden’s running mate to attract the base of the Democratic Party. In 2020, she pushed « Medicare for all », a ban on fracking, supported slavery reparations, proposed a « gun buy-back » program, and expressed the view that illegal border crossing should be decriminalized. By any definition, most of these views are far outside the mainstream and radical in nature.
Biden was a huge disappointment to the radicals. His attempts to govern as a « moderate » fell flat with moderates and radicals alike. And now Harris’s radical political views are being thrown in her face and threaten to sink her campaign.
No worries. Harris is simply « reinventing » herself.
A big part of the Harris plan is to unapologetically change some of her more liberal positions, and claim her White House experience helped change her mind.
