Kamala Harris, should she become president, would use her office to checkmate our freedom.

When Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in early September whether he thinks Kamala Harris is “abandoning her ideals” by publicly disavowing many of the extreme positions she has long aired, no one should have been surprised when Bernie said, “No, I don’t think she’s abandoning her ideals. I think she’s trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election.”
It is no secret that political promises said with a smile during a campaign are often only capriciously related to what the candidate would really do in office—this is especially true of an extremist who is clearly hiding from even favorable media, lest she reveal her true intentions. It is also no secret that a small, but perhaps pivotal, percentage of people nevertheless believe what they hear even from such politicians.
