• Donald Trump contributed $6,000 to Kamala Harris when she ran for California attorney general.
  • Trump donated $5,000 to her 2011 campaign and $1,000 in 2013 as a private citizen.
  • Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday and endorsed Kamala to replace him.

People forget that Trump wasn’t a Republican until like 2012. The only reason he ran Republican was that someone convinced him that was the only way he’d ever win. Remember, winning at all costs is literally the only thing Donald Trump cares about.

Honestly, he’s never been a Democrat or a Republican. Even now, if you go by what the Republican party was before he took it over. He’s always been a Trumpist, nothing more and nothing less. He cares solely, without exception, for one thing: Donald Trump.

Will he actually, though? Or just say he will?

I think the only way that could happen is if it just happened to be something he wanted.

She’s not much better than Biden. She doesn’t even have age as an excuse.

Our imagination might be the only place she wins.

It would be more effective, the spreading of misery, if you went to the local pool and took a large shit in it. You could ruin several people’s day instead of like 3

After all this pushing to call Biden too old, the 70 year old rambling old man is gonna look really bad to their own base when he’s up against someone who isn’t even old enough to retire.

That’s not entirely true, his turn to republicans was a little sooner. Trump was the “Long Form Birth Certificate” guy all during the Obama years.

Ranked most politically left compared to Senate Democrats

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.

For more, see our methodology. Note that because on this page only legislative activity in the 116th Congress is considered, the ideology score here may differ from Harris’s score elsewhere on GovTrack.

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

Yeah, but all Senators in the Republican and Democratic party are right wing. Bernie Sanders is an independent so not included in the “Senate Democrats” label. He is a centrist and thus left of her slightly, but there are no leftists in the Senate. Their scale is just from most to least right leaning and not from left to right for a reason.

In addition to what @riotsoma said below, people also don’t like her due to her actions as a prosecutor before she was in the Senate. They equate her with police basically.

I disagree wholeheartedly with how she handled drugs in CA, etc., but let’s be clear: prosecutors are not cops. How would a modern society function without them? Truly, this is an open question to all those “Kamala is a cop I’ll never vote for her” people.

i posted that to have a summary but if that’s not enough you can just look up her votes. she’s mostly pretty good, and her votes include supporting budget cuts to LAPD. criminal justice is still probably her weakest point as she obviously would have bias but it’s not as bad as people might assume.
