    She wasn’t a good candidate for anything but the gop. As a Republican, she’s the perfect middle ground between Trump and Reagan.

    She has no business running opposed to conservatives, though, and will never win in that role.

      Harris is politically between Reagan and Trump? Lol. What an idiotic take.

        The anti cannabis cop who spent her life specifically discriminating against nonviolent black men and advocating for keeping innocent black men imprisoned in order to ensure California has enough slaves for their corporate contracts?

        The same one that adopted a more draconian border policy than anything Trump or the Republicans ever offered?

        The same one that was VP to Joe “poor kids are as smart as white kids; I don’t want my kids to grow up in a racial jungle” Biden, the most right wing Democrat president since before the southern strategy, himself being the reason student loan debt isn’t dischargeable in bankruptcy?

        Yeah. Foreign policy including immigration makes her as bad as Trump. Domestic policy is the same trickle down that Obama and Biden pushed.

          That’s funny when Obama and Biden had no history of cutting taxes on the rich, which is the central pillar of trickle down economics.

          Obama actually hiked taxes on the wealthy as part of the ACA, in addition to letting Bush’s most egregious cuts expire instead of renewing them.

          Biden made no major changes to tax policy, though has been pushing to increase the corporate tax rate.

          Both Biden and Harris are also on record advocating for the implementation of an unrealized capital gains tax, which would be a huge step, though unlikely to be implemented without a large congressional majority. (which is unlikely)
