I mean, I'm not in love with the ex-cop who was chosen to be VP because she was the only Democrat more conservative than Biden, but this has more to do with Trump's ideological inconsistency than Kamala Harris's.
Biden is a middle of the road Democrat. I could probably come up with 200 or so living Democrats with experience as a state governor or a federal representative more conservative than him. Any member of the Blue Dog Caucus, for instance.
Harris is also middle of the road
Biden only wasn't in the Blue Dog caucus because he was a Senator and that caucus was for House Reps. He's been an annoying "compromise" vote since the Reagan Era, and played a big role in defanging Dem efforts to filibuster GOP SCOTUS nominees during Reagan, Bush Sr, and Bush Jr. He's also the author of a host of truly awful legislation - the '94 Crime Bill, the '96 Telecom Act, and the '02 Patriot Act just to name a few.
Harris hasn't been around nearly long enough to get her hands dirty. And where she has voted, she's been slightly to the left of the center of the pack (of consistently right-leaning Senate Democrats). That puts her conservative relative to the median voting Democrat but progressive relative to the median elected Democrat.
You could have read my response to the other person who told me the same thing before spamming me, you know.
Touchy, aren't you
Well, what else do you want me to say? Do you want me to just type out the same response over and over? What do you even want out of me?
Not engaging and instead just letting readers see your other response would've been the classier move.
I have been called many things throughout my life. Some of them were even good. Classy has never once been one of them.
