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.
GovTrack deleted their 2019 page showing Harris to be the most liberal senator.

That is another prime example of the media and tech companies trying to attempt to lie and cover up the political ratings and history of left wing liberals. I predict that there will be a lot more of similar stuff to this in their attempt to make sure Kamala Harris wins the election in November.

Looking at their website (which isn't very intuitive), it seems like they're trying to standardize on 2-year report cards as those cover an entire Congressional session. There's still the 2020 report card (which covers the entire 116th Congress, January 2019-January 2021) that rates her as the second-most liberal senator (behind Sanders). She's also #4 on the 2018 report card.

She hasn't been a senator since 2021.
She doesn't really have a voting record to compare against all other Senators.

And her page has the same scatter plot as all the others, showing her farther left than most:
OP's source just didn't bother to look at the site any further than that before ginning up outrage.

I just think it's way more... interesting... that the OP is presenting just "being liberal" as "bad." I mean I understand it totally and it certainly works both ways, but it's still interesting for that to be the only point of the post.

Sure - and if you search for the 2019 report cards, they're still indexed on google (though the links don't work). I'm just pointing out that:
1. 2-year report cards make more sense if you're tracking legislator trends, as that means that you're capturing the whole congressional session rather than just half of it.
2. The report card that covers that period still lists her as the #2 most liberal senator of the 116th Congress.
In other words, there's a reasonable explanation as to why the change may have been made that has nothing to do with politics, and the change is not substantial - she's still, by Gov Track's methodology, very liberal as far as the Senate goes. Seems to me that you're just angry that you can't source the "She's the most liberal senator!" soundbite anymore.

So?
Again, it wasn't just Harris' page that was deleted. It was everything from 2019. Searching "kamala harris 2019 report card site:govtrack.us" on Google reveals cached urls that no longer work, including the one for the entire senate:
The wayback machine still has that page if you want to find more links:

The house one doesn't work anymore, either:

lol, seriously?
The insinuations made in your OP are backed by nothing but assumptions. ~Nothing~ A couple of us managed to pick apart those assumptions with very little effort - all we did was look at the site in question and then at google. That's it. (ETA: I'll add that we all presented that info politely, without insults, assuming you all were acting in good faith). If doing an iota of research and not blindly accepting low-quality propaganda constitutes "drinking the kool aid," then pour me another glass, because I'd rather drown in that than in whatever outrage fuel you guys are swallowing.

Would that not be the results of it being deleted as mentioned in the OP?I can't find any report cards from 2019:

It would - and nobody has denied that the page has been deleted. However, the fact that all of the 2019 pages were deleted and not just Harris' undermines the implications inferred by at least 4 posters in this thread, 1 poster in another thread, and virtually every commenter responding to the original tweet.
