Kamala Harris: The Most Liberal U.S. Senator

Kamala Harris was the most liberal U.S. Senator, beating even Bernie Sanders in this 2019 scorecard by GovTrack.

Here are the key points:

1. Ideology: Harris was ranked as the most liberal senator compared to all senators.

2. Bipartisanship: She joined bipartisan bills the least often compared to Senate Democrats. Only 15% of the bills she cosponsored were introduced by non-Democrats.

3. Productivity:

   - Introduced 54 bills and resolutions (2nd most among Senate sophomores)

   - Got 377 cosponsors on her bills (most among Senate sophomores)

   - 20 of her bills had companion bills in the House (most among Senate sophomores)

4. Leadership: 

   - Ranked 2nd in leadership among Senate sophomores

   - Held no committee leadership positions

5. Bill progress:

   - 3 of her bills made it past committee (2nd least among Senate sophomores)

   - 1 of her introduced bills became law

6. Cosponsorship:

   - Cosponsored 471 bills (8th most among all senators)

   - Got influential cosponsors (committee chairs or ranking members) on 9 of her bills

7. Attendance: Missed 61.9% of votes, making her the 3rd most absent senator

The report notes that these statistics don't capture all aspects of a legislator's work, such as constituent services and executive branch oversight. It also mentions that Harris's term was set to end on January 3, 2023, though we know she left the Senate earlier to become Vice President.



It is doubtful that VP Harris can win the 2024 election running from the far left. Kamala Harris has stated, "We aren't going back." But, she is a throwback to the liberal, losing Democratic presidential candidacies of Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale, and Mike Dukakis.

Watch the wheels in Kamala Harris' head spin when Norah O'Donnell says, "You're considered the most liberal United States Senator."


 

It's like Biden having a brain freeze.

BLM Challenges Kamala Harris' Coronation: Demanding Democracy in DNC's Nomination Process

Image
 Yesterday Black Lives Matter released a statement on Vice-President Kamala Harris securing enough delegates to become the Democratic Nominee. Based on the press release, Black Lives Matter's main criticisms of the Democratic Party are: 1. Lack of democratic process: BLM accuses the DNC of attempting to install Kamala Harris as the nominee without a proper public voting process following President Biden stepping aside. 2. Suppression of debates: The DNC refused to host debates during the primary, which BLM argues could have revealed Biden's decline earlier. 3. Manipulation of primary rules: The DNC changed the primary schedule and created rules that made it difficult for non-Biden candidates to appear on the ballot. 4. Disregard for voter input: After millions of Black voters participated in the primary, party elites and donors pressured Biden to leave the race after one poor debate performance. 5. Lack of transparency: BLM argues there's no clarity on where Kamala Harris ...
