Kamala Harris found to be most liberal person in the Senate. How on earth can the Dem fanatics claim she's a "moderate"? (death, borders)

BTW, the most common definition of "moderate" is, "She believes what I believe".

Maybe that's the reason the resident liberal fanatics call her a "moderate"?

Never mind that most rank-and-file Democrats will never vote for her extreme views.

Easy. Liberals get to decide what the moderate position is. They will try to go as far left as possible and settle for 40%.

It seems liberals get to decide whether or not anyone to the right of them is really a Democrat.

Or, as an oft-confused politician recently said to a black man, "....you ain't black!"

Excellent! I'll have to use that in explaining why I'm not voting for Biden. 'I ain't black!'

No. TRANSLATION: I don't need their "unique ideology analysis" to tell me something that Ronnie Milsap could see...



...The data that goes into this analysis is a list of who sponsored or cosponsored which bills. The process doesn’t look at the content of the bills or the party affiliation or anything else about the Members of Congress, but it is able to infer underlying behavioral patterns, some of which correspond to real-world concepts like left-right ideology...

Yeah, they look at one data point sponsorship/co-sponsorship. They don't even bother to analyze what is actually in the bill.

Hard pass.

That's sort of like saying Bonnie and Clyde were "truly honest and law-abiding".

Non-partisan statistics from GovTrack.org, reveal Harris to be "Ranked the most liberal compared to all Senators".

More liberal than Bernie "Bolshevik" Sanders. More liberal than Elizabeth "Fauxcahontas" Warren. More liberal than Chuck Schumer.

Harris may be many things. But "moderate" isn't among them.

KAMALA HARRIS, 2019:

Ranked most liberal compared to All Senators

Our unique ideology analysis assigns a score to Members of Congress according to their legislative behavior by how similar the pattern of bills and resolutions they cosponsor are to other Members of Congress.

Compare to all Senate Sophomores (0th percentile); Senate Democrats (0th percentile); All Senators (0th percentile).

------------------------

Joined bipartisan bills the least often compared to Senate Democrats

Of the 471 bills that Harris cosponsored, 15% were introduced by a legislator who was not a Democrat. View Cosponsored Bills »

Compare to all Senate Sophomores (0th percentile); Senate Democrats (0th percentile); All Senators (1st percentile).

Only Democratic and Republican Members of Congress who cosponsored more than 10 bills and resolutions are included in this statistic.

That's because it only rates her time in the Senate.

Look at her whole body of work and you'll see she's a moderate.

She did go to Howard univ and she was in a black sorority. No way someone who identifies as white would make those choices especially at that age. My white kids wouldn't feel comfortable with the HBCU college experience.
