Kamala Harris: the Centrist....

So this is your idea of moderate positions?:

The lawmaker has not explicitly stated her support for the defund the police movement but in an interview with “The View” in June, said the nation needed to reimagine how it handles public safety.
She has, however, praised the mayor of Los Angeles for slashing the city’s police budget.

As a presidential candidate, Harris called for near-universal background checks on all gun sales and an end to the “boyfriend loophole,” which allows individuals charged with domestic violence to purchase firearms.
he has threatened to take gun manufacturers to court if they break negligence laws, introducing more stringent regulation, and wants to ban AR-15-style “assault weapons” from being imported into the US.
as a Senate freshman in 2017, she signed on Bernie Sanders’ single-payer health care bill, calling it “the right thing to do.”

During the Democratic debates, she said she supported “Medicare for All” before reversing her position and declaring her support for a tightly regulated private health sector while also allowing Americans to pick a public option. The plan was torn apart by political pundits who said her proposal would require enormous tax hikes.

Harris is a strong supporter of reproductive rights and was the first candidate to bring up the topic during this cycle’s Democratic debates.
She suggested strong measures to ensure abortion is protected in various states by proposing states or localities with a history of violating Roe v. Wade obtain approval from the Department of Justice before making changes to their abortion laws.
“People need to keep their hands off of women’s bodies and let women make the decisions about their own lives,” Harris said during a debate last October.

The first black woman to be nominated for national office by a major party, Harris has called for reparations to help African Americans heal from the trauma of slavery.
“I think there has to be some form of reparations,” she told The Root in February.

In typical hypocritical fashion her supporters don’t think he family’s history of slave ownership is something Harris should be held accountable for, but think all U.S. tax payers should be held accountable for the small number of former slave owners who lived 160 years ago or more.

I get tired of hearing how I need to work harder and pay more taxes so that those who are repressed can get everything for free including housing.
