According to her senate voting record she is quite progressive. You have to go by voting record, you can't use rhetoric.
I agree she's trying to pull some of the non-maga repubs though.
What do you mean by "progressive?"
Reformist dems. Voting rights protections, higher taxes, higher business regulation, more public services, environmental action, criminal justice reform, minority protections. For starters.
Oh, you mean a centrist
No, the centrists are the neolibs. Lower taxes, light on regulation. Generally little criminal justice reform or environmental action. To the right of the centrists are the conservatives, against almost all regulation, criminal justice reform and minority protections. To the right of the conservatives are the fascists, be a christian or gtfo. Rolling back a lot of freedoms.
To the left of the centrists are the progressives, also often known as social democrats, who want highly regulated capitalism and a democratic society. To the left of them are communists, who want full egalitarianism.
In America anyway. Harris being an American presidential candidate, using the American scale seems appropriate.
Lenin was a democratic socialist.
You're talking about social democrats.
Oh, thank you. I'll edit.
