She stakes out her positions so no other dem can go left of her. Medicare for all, eliminate private health insurance, 'Assault weapon' ban (semi autos), in favor of the 'Green New Deal', which calls for eliminating gas powered vehicles thru taxation and subsidizing electric vehicles (among other nonsense).

Media calls her a centrist.

Kamala Harris vows to get rid of private health care plans: 'Let's eliminate all of that. Let's move on'

Harris' background is as a prosecutor, the far-left despises anyone associated with law enforcement at all levels, ergo, she's not left enough. She also has ties with various large money donors that associated themselves with Clinton, contrast that to somebody like Warren who continues to hurl broadsides at anybody working on Wall St. or, makes over $100k. Given the baseball team the Dems are assembling for 2020..she's a moderate.

Yeah Central as in Central Committee of the Communist Party

Holy shit. She is against everything I support. People like her are why sometimes I wish California was not part of the US.

Just another GDC.

TAPPER: Just to follow up on that, correct me if I’m wrong. To reiterate: You support the Medicare for All bill, I think initially co-sponsored by Bernie Sanders, you’re also a co-sponsor.

HARRIS: Yes.

TAPPER: I believe it will totally eliminate private insurance. So for people out there who like their insurance — they don’t get to keep it?

HARRIS: Well, listen, the idea is that everyone gets access to medical care. And you don’t have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require. Who of us has not had that situation where you’ve got to wait for approval, and the doctor says, “Well, I don’t know if your insurance company is going to cover this”? Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on.

A huge difference between the govt monopolizing a service versus having private industry compete:

When the govt is the only provider, the service can be as bad as the govt wants it to be

If private industry is competing for providing a service, you have the option to go to another company.

Competition - makes all the difference

Black - check
Female - check
Radical - check

Yeah, talk about a potential nightmare.

She probably has the best chance to win the Dem. nomination. Biden has a decent chance, but he's an old, white guy.
The 'energy' on the left is on the far left. There are no more 'moderate' Dems, except Joe Manchin.
This makes Howard Schultz particularly dangerous to the Dems.

Example #1 Veteran's Administration

Govt run, check
Single Payer, check
Lines and lengthy appointments times, check
Questionable medical treatments, check

She and O'Rourke are the two strongest candidates, for the 2020 ticket, wouldn't be a surprise to see them run together. Obama/Oprah-team is lining up behind O'Rourke, Harris will be their backup if the DNC turns into Chicago'68.

Yup. Some VA hospitals are great, many are crappy, some are absolute horror shows.

And pretty much zero consequences for any of the workers. Nonewhatsoever.

If this goes through my son will certainly finish up his BS in Chem and change course from a Dr of medicine goal to working for a big company as a chemist.

No reason to do 8-10 years of schooling / residency / incur the debt to work for the gov making $100K.

No. FUCK NO.

Let her go full retard in front of the whole nation. Let the radicalism flow. She will marginalize herself and the hopeful Left will be dashed again on the rocks below.

She also fucked her way to the top, having had an affair with Willie Brown and accepting a shit-ton of campaign money in return.

Otherwise known as a common whore.

But, she's a dangerous common whore. As was mentioned, she's black, female, and radical. She's also not unattractive, and a skilled prosecutor/debater. If she gets the nomination, The Donald will have his work cut out for him.

You can go ahead and order your bumper sticker now!

back in 2007/2008, Obama made it sound that he was reasonable, and he hid some of his radical intentions

Kamala Harris has been a rabid attack dog in the confirmation hearings (like all the DEMs).

She is nasty and over the top. I think she will have some problems when she goes after the other DEM candidates w her aggressive and unjustified venom.

She had zero positive accomplishments as the SF DA, none as the CA AG and as the junior US Senator, she has none, other than competing with Cory Booker in the Kavanaugh hearings and essentially sitting there muted when DiFi stole her spotlight.

This makes her a perfect candidate to Dem voters.
