**Fresno, CA (September 17, 2024) -** Free Republic, a conservative online forum, is accusing Vice President Kamala Harris of “pivoting” towards the center to win the upcoming election, all while allegedly maintaining her extreme leftist beliefs. The forum’s users are pointing to a recent Hill article highlighting Democratic lawmakers’ unwavering support for Harris despite her shifting stances on key issues.
“Democratic lawmakers are giving Vice President Harris a pass on her policy flip-flops and efforts to tack toward the political center,” the Hill article reads, adding that “Even the Senate’s most liberal Democrats say they aren’t worried about Harris backing away from her previous support for ‘Medicare for All’ or a fracking ban because they believe she will push hard to rein in insurance and pharmaceutical companies or to crack down on fossil fuel consumption.”
Free Republic users view this as evidence that Harris is “lying to win the presidency before ruining this country.” They argue that, despite her current moderate rhetoric, Harris will implement a radical, socialist agenda if elected, including policies like gun confiscation, a ban on gas-powered cars, and the use of the Department of Justice to silence dissenters.
One user, Eli Crane, a congressional candidate from Arizona, claims that Harris’s shift to the center is merely a tactic to win over voters. “Way too extreme for rural Arizona. Way too extreme for America,” he tweets, adding that “She’s a San Francisco politician. She was the most liberal senator.”
Other Free Republic users echo similar sentiments, with many accusing Harris of a “lurch” to the left once in office. Several commenters dismiss any possibility of Harris moderating her views, suggesting that Democrats will always revert to their “true” leftist beliefs once in power.
The debate over Harris’s true political leanings highlights the deep partisan divide in American politics. While some see her recent shifts as a necessary step towards electoral success, others view them as a deceptive tactic to mask her true agenda. The upcoming election will likely see both sides continue to spar over these contrasting interpretations.
