The most liberal senator

[Proud liberal 80]

First Kamala isn’t the most liberal senator....and even if she was I am getting sick of that being a bad thing by the MSM

1. So true

2. 2016, 2017, 2019? And now it is Oregon Markley. And meh, I am glad we are getting a liberal in #2

spot. It works for me. Whomever can say whatever, Harris is doing fine and the people like her. What person has issue is voting Trump anyway. We have a white man in number one place and that works for the Anti Trump Republicans and Independents.

3. Nope. Not by a long shot.

But they always say that about the people we nominate. It’s just lies, lies, and more lies.

11. Agreed

I never thought of her as very liberal, just left of center. I guess they know they can't really accuse Biden of being too liberal, so they'll try and tag Kamala, cuz she might be president some day. They tried to tie Biden to Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, but that didn't stick.

They're running out of time and perceived "socialists", and all their fake scandals totally bombed. All their old tricks just aren't working, because they have the absolute worst candidate in the world. They finally found shit that they can't sell.

4. It depends on the year

Take a look at 2019 Govtrack ideology scores.

Despite their supporters fighting online Kamala Harris & Bernie Sanders often work together. Her record as AG isn't great but she does have a liberal record as a Senator. Kamala Harris addition to the ticket is a big reason why I voted for the Biden-Harris ticket.

9. You wouldn't have voted for Biden if someone

else was on the ticket with him? I’m sure that’s not what you meant though ...

5. Bernie Sanders: "What am I chopped liver?" n/t

8. I laughed out loud at this!

6. I decided to read their methodology page

And some things.

One, it doesn't consider votes on appointees, which in McConnell's senate is about all that actually happens. I have no earthly idea where she would rank in that regard, and neither do they. It only considers cosponsorship of bills and in particular with whom she has cosponsored bills. She is number two in the one they say their method compares favorably to (Warren is one) but I note a bunch of absent votes for her (she was running for President).

Honestly, I don't particularly see what they are saying they are doing here, and why it would be a perfect predictor of liberalness (I can see it being a good one). In order to aver she is the most liberal it would have to be perfect or close to it

10. Any Dem Senator they're talking about is the "most liberal" one at that time...
