re: #148 BeachDem

Harris describes himself as a liberal, and states that he supports raising taxes on the very wealthy, the decriminalizing of drugs and same-sex marriage. He was critical of the Bush administration’s war in Iraq, fiscal policy, and treatment of science.

During the 2016 United States presidential election, Harris supported Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Party presidential primaries against Bernie Sanders and despite calling her “a terribly flawed candidate for the presidency”, he favored her in the general election and came out strongly in opposition to Donald Trump’s candidacy.

Doesn’t make him any less of an asshole, but doesn’t make him a libertarian or a conservative.

Interesting how he retweeted Bari Weiss:

Or how he throws in with racists such as Charles Murray:
vox.com

And bashing so-called “identity politics” …

He also supported Ben Carson’s and Ted Cruz’s assertions that we should only admit Christians into the nation. He also said that Carson was an imbecile but would vote for him over someone such as Noam Chomsky.

Does he identify as a conservative? No. Does he act like one? Yes.

And of course his well-known Islamophobia. All positions held by the right-wing.

I stand corrected on Harris identifying as a “libertarian”, but as AM pointed out, he acts like a “conservative” on some key issues and like a “libertarian” on the things they tend to support, like drugs and SSM.

With “allies” like Harris, who needs enemies?
