  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That right wing news outlet, CNN, did some digging.

In a 2019 questionnaire that she filled out for the American Civil Liberties Union when she was running for president, Vice-President Kamala Harris espoused hard-left positions, such as decreasing funding for ICE, ending detention for illegal immigrants, funding gender transition surgeries for illegal immigrants and federal prisoners, and even decriminalization of hard drugs.

CNN’s investigative reporter Andrew Kaczynski revealed his findings on the questionnaire, which can be read here, speaking to CNN host Erin Burnett.

She was running in a primary in 2019 and thus was trying to appeal to her base. Those policies aren't necessarily relevant to what she is proposing now, especially with actually executive experience.
I know she wants to be unburdened by what she said in the past.

Harris' answers in the linked document seem like a pretty standard list of Progressive values. Are you saying Senator Sanders disagrees with some of this? Which points does he disagree with?

I’m not sure that’s relevant.

You said in the title of the thread that Harris is "to the left of Bernie Sanders". I'm just trying to get details about this.
I didn’t say it. The CNN guy did.

That seals it, I'm not voting for her in 2019.

There's space on Obama's time machine if you change your mind.

Your smokescreen is noted.
Is it though? The elephant in the room is still that you can’t go back in time to vote for Mrs Harris.

The past has by definition already happened so one wonders the point of this thread.

Politicising time travel seems a really odd take.

So translated that means she will say anything to get elected and fool the American people!

Are we not to look at past actions and views of the candidates?

Politicians telling voters what they want to here is pretty much how the system works. And candidates proposing extreme policies in the primaries to appeal to the base and then tacking towards the center to try and grab the independent voters is normal.

Mitt Romney once famously referred to that as an "Etch a Sketch" moment.

-- A2SG, not one of his better moments, but not as odd as the bit with his dog...
