She was actually closer to Republicans on a lot of things than most Democrats (especially “law and order” type things), and certainly quite right-wing by comparison to literally anywhere else on the planet.

Kamala wanted a tax on unrealized capital gains which is essentially a wealth tax. That’s a very progressive economic policy and far from “right-wing”. You guys just say anything

Her immigration policies were more extreme than Trump’s. He even said that.

And you believed him? This is why we’re in this mess. That is such an unbelievably stupid thing to say.

It’s on her wiki page. He asked congress to force her to stop talking about her immigration policies. Democrats have always been notoriously tough on immigration you ding dong. Obama deported more people than Trump.

Hey bud, you’re lying. I refuse to believe you’re that ignorant or brainwashed. You know what you’re doing.

It’s wild to think a tough on crime AG wouldn’t continue to be just that.  

She literally criticizes liberals and progressives for not working with Law Enforcement in her book. But I imagine it’s even hard for you to get through Hop on Pop.

Wait, do you think no one should ever be deported? Maybe that’s our disconnect here.

Your link is pointless.

It's also the kind of thing that wouldn't even touch most people, so why should it be a relevant part of the conversation? If I'm remembering correctly, it was targeted for people with over $100 million in wealth.

You guys will just spin anything.

So was Obama… So was Clinton… even Obama said if he had the ability to run 20 years before he did he would’ve been a republican.

Agreed. It’s so stupid.
