This is the narrative that mass media outlets like to tell and retell but I don't know any US leftists that think Kamala Harris is even remotely leftwing. Literally none.
Yes she probably isn't as awful on Israel as Biden is, but that isn't actually saying anything at this point really, Biden is an utter catastrophe on the Palestinian genocide and it very well might lose him the election over it.
But if she becomes president during the next 4 years, she'll be the new incumbent we can't primary.
Ah interesting - I thought she was chosen as vice president to "balance out his ticket" and appeal to the left of the party
She's a cop, there's nothing leftish wing about her
When she was chosen, it felt like a purposeful insult, like there couldn't have been a worse candidate. It felt like an appeal to the right who were mad at the anti-police protesting. We do not like her.
As a woman of color. That was pretty much it. This made Biden appear more progressive to those on the left. Her being a former cop made it more palatable to those on the right side of the party.
