The fact that Joe Biden only considered a woman rather than the most qualified candidate speaks volumes about the priorities of a Biden presidency. With his choice of Kamala Harris as his running mate, Joe Biden has solidified that the far-left would control a Biden presidency.
Contrary to the mainstream media, including the New York Times, which in a tweet referred to Harris as a “moderate” and “pragmatic”, Harris’ political ideology is almost identical to Senator Bernie Sanders, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio- the socialist wing of the Democratic Party.
Kamala Harris’ Policy Proposals
The most radical socialistic proposal in history-the Green New Deal was co-sponsored by Harris. The GND reads like a parody of liberal policies- the banning of cars airplanes, meat-eating, and all fossil fuels. Not to mention some estimate it would cost $93 trillion.
To ensure that the GND passes through Congress and becomes law Harris has proclaimed she supports the end of the filibuster, as does Biden. If Biden/Harris are elected, and the GOP loses control of the Senate, without the protection the filibuster gives to the minority party, all bets are off. Every radical policy and spending program proposed by the ever-leftward drifting Democratic Party will become law.
Harris was also one of the original co-sponsors of “Medicare for All”- legislation introduced by Senator Sanders proposing a government-run health-care system. During a 2019 Town Hall with Jake Tapper Harris defended outlawing private health insurance stating, “ Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.”
In March 2019, Harris co-sponsored the “Equality Act” which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 making “sexual orientation and gender identity” protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law. One consequence of this bill would be to force schools to allow biological males who identify as female to compete athletically with biological females. Biden has pledged that he will sign the Equality Act into law within his first 100 days.
Harris has vowed that if she were president in her first 100 days in office, she would take executive action to enact a government buy-back of “assault weapons”. Also known as gun confiscation.
In November 2019, Harris and Rep. Maxine Waters introduced legislation-“The Housing is Infrastructure Act”. Currently, the federal government spends more than $200 billion on affordable housing annually. If passed into law, the RELIEF Act would increase that spending by another $100 billion.
Harris believes that two-year colleges should be free and Four-year colleges debt-free to attend. In other words, those not in college should pay for the education of others.
A long supporter of sanctuary cites, Harris wants amnesty for the millions of illegal immigrants residing in our country, along with a pathway to citizenship. She has also vowed to provide illegal immigrants with American taxpayer-funded health insurance.
Harris wants to decriminalize illegal border crossings. During a 2018 Senate hearing, Harris compared the men and women protecting our border -Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the Ku Klux Klan.
According to the economic policy analyst at the Manhattan Institute, Harris’ presidential campaign proposed approximately $40 trillion in new spending.
Harris is in favor of imposing economy-destroying tax increases. She has proposed raising the corporate tax rate to 35% from 21% and supports taxing stock transactions to the tune of $2 trillion over a decade. Further, she wants to increase marginal income tax rates as well as tax rates on investment income.
Like her fellow Democrats, Harris believes that America is a deeply-flawed, systemically racist country. Never mind that Harris’ life story is a refutation of the left’s denigration of America as an oppressive, racist country. Harris is the daughter of immigrant parents. Her father was born in Jamaica, and her mother in India. Both had successful careers, and their mixed-race daughter is the embodiment of the American dream.
Despite her family’s upward mobility and successes, Harris still believes that America is inherently bad. After the George Floyd killing, in defense of the rioters and protesters, Harris stated, “Let’s speak the truth: People are protesting because black people have been treated as less than human in America. Because our county has never fully addressed the systemic racism that has plagued our country since its darkest days.”
Both she and Biden believe that Black Americans are entitled to reparations for the sins of slavery. Some have estimated this would cost American taxpayers $14 trillion. Harris and Biden have also promised to enact a myriad of onerous, economy destroying regulations to promote the ever-elusive racial diversity and social justice sought by those on the left.
Harris has even empathized with the anarchists and rioters terrorizing those in many Democrat-run cities. She has promoted a group that several Biden staffers have donated to- the Minneapolis Freedom Fund. The MFF provides bail for those arrested in the Black Lives Matter protests. However, many of those whom the MFF has posted bail for are violent criminals.
In a June tweet, Harris requested that her followers donate to the MFF.
If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. https://t.co/t8LXowKIbw

Both Harris and Biden agree that funding for police should be “re-directed”. She recently applauded Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s decision to slash place funding by $150 million. A Biden/Harris administration also vows to end all cash bail.
According to GovTrack.us, an organization that tracks information on lawmakers and their voting records, out of the 100 U.S. senators, Harris ranked the most liberal based on her 2019 voting record. Self- avowed socialist Bernie Sanders came in second.
The GovTrack analysis also found that in 2019 Harris worked across the aisle “the least often” compared to her fellow Senate Democrats.
Incredibly, despite her radical policies and voting record ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos declared on Wednesday that Harris “comes from the middle of the road, moderate wing of the Democratic Party.”
Shamefully those in the media who claim that Harris is a moderate Democrat care more aiding the election of Biden/Harris than reporting the truth.
Normally, a vice-presidential selection is not that relevant. However, if elected, Biden will be 78- the oldest president in the history of our country, on Inauguration Day. And no one can make the case that he is a youthful 78-year-old.
It is undeniable that Biden lacks vigor and is showing signs of age-related cognitive decline. Unfortunately, the media is covering for the enfeebled Biden because they know that a Biden administration will open the door for the radical left to enact their socialist America-transforming agenda. Why else would Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ilhan Omar, to name just a few, endorse him?
Despite the media blackout of Biden’s mental incompetence, the American people know the truth. According to a Rasmussen Poll, 59% of respondents believe that a President Biden would not complete his first term. Interpretation- Most know that Biden is not fit to be President of the United States. The American people need to be aware that neither is the radical leftist Kamala Harris.
