    California paper reports on Kamala Harris, the good, the bad, and the ugly:

    The real Kamala Harris: What her California years reveal - The Press Democrat

    Vice presidents rarely get much attention. What attention Harris has gotten on the job hasn’t been particularly positive. Counter to the reputation she cultivated early on in the campaign trail as a pragmatic politician and sharp-minded prosecutor, public opinion on Harris soured in the summer of 2021 and has mostly stayed sour.

    That was in part thanks to the White House saddling her with a series of unenviable and intractable tasks. Beyond that her role, like that of most vice presidents, has been high on profile, but low on actual responsibility. It’s a job perhaps best described by fictional Veep Selina Meyer as the political equivalent of being “declawed, defanged, neutered, ball-gagged, and sealed in an abandoned coal mine.”

    Nor was Harris faring much better with voters in her home state. Last year 59% of California voters in a Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll said they would not welcome her on the top of the ticket.


    The article is long but is well worth the read.

    Because of her start in California, I for years called her Kamala "nasty phrase" Harris. The article touches on it without using my less than flattering terminology. I wasn't able to get bedroom photos, but you get the gist.

    Clearly, she is the furthest left democrat there was in the senate, even further left than Bernie Sanders who is an independent communist who caucuses with the democrats.

    The following article lists 17 items that represent Harris' far left leanings:

    17 Facts Expose Kamala Harris' Far-Left Record (breitbart.com)

    I am adding item #18 to this writer's list of 17:

    Below are 17 examples of Harris’ far-left record:

    1. Co-sponsored legislation to protect illegal immigrants from deportation
    2. Backed Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All legislation
    3. Backed banning private health insurance
    4. Supported giving taxpayer-funded coverage to illegal immigrants
    5. Supported banning fracking
    6. Backed defunding the police
    7. Compared ICE to the KKK
    8. Wanted to ban plastic straws
    9. Defended banning offshore drilling
    10. Wanted to “undo” the Trump administration’s border security, taking 94 executive actions in their first 100 days to rescind nealy every Trump-era measure
    11. Supported decriminalizing illegal border crossings
    12. Said she wouldn’t “treat” illegal aliens as “criminals”
    13. Called for “starting [ICE] from scratch”
    14. Argued that temporarily closing the border violated federal law
    15. Raised money for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a far-left organization that pays to bail out of jail violent criminals, including accused murderers and rapists.
    16. Supported Los Angeles’s cuts to their police department
    17. Called efforts to add more police to the streets “wrongheaded thinking
    Added by me:

    18. Voted twice in the US Senate to defeat a federal abortion bill that would have banned abortion after 20 weeks. Both bills had passed the house but were defeated in the senate. Known as the Pain Capable Child Protection Act, the bill also had the compromised support of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. We came close to having the federal abortion law democrats want now and allowing abortions through the 20th week. That deal will not be seen again. Any compromise at the federal level will now likely be at 15 weeks even if a compromise can be reached.

    The only nations to allow late-term abortions at the time Harris was voting no in the senate:

    Canada
    China
    Netherlands
    North Korea
    Singapore
    Vietnam

    The United States should never be on that list.

    There has never been a clearer difference in candidates than in the 2024 election.

    EDIT: Adding Kamala Harris in her own words, roll tape:

    Roll Tape: Radical Leftist Kamala Harris, in Her Own Words (townhall.com)

    Never in the history of US politics has anyone been further left and out of touch with American values than Kamala Harris.

    Yay...she's just as popular as a social disease.
    She sure knows how to climb the ladder though.
    Kamala slept with Willie Brown (Congressman out in California) … and he put her in two
    different positions that she did not deserve when she was only 29 or 30 when was 60.

    Of course you wouldn't read it. Because of your TDS, you brain is frozen into a mass of close-minded thinking. Carry on.

    Close minded is counter to the fact I voted Republican until Trump came along. I'll vote against the GOP every chance I get until he and his idiot minions are gone.

    You may as well change your party affiliation presuming you haven't already. From what I can tell, like so many here, you use your TDS as the excuse for your left leanings.

    At the very least, you should educate yourself on what you will be voting for come November.

    I had to laugh when Chucky Schumer announced his support of the dems' new grassroots candidate yesterday. Kamala Harris has not won even one vote in a democratic primary. No way is she a grassroots candidate.

    Sleeping your way to the top sounds like more fun than just having your rich dad give you a pile of cash to squander on bad real estate deals

    This thread on how cool Kamala is is getting me coconut-pilled. I used to be in the "Kamala is a cop" crowd, now you're telling me she's to the left of Che Guevara and its making me want to phone bank.
