    She’s a conservative like most Democratic candidates and Trump used to be a moderate conservative.

      Ranked most politically left compared to Senate Democrats

      Our unique ideology analysis assigns a score to Members of Congress according to their legislative behavior by how similar the pattern of bills and resolutions they cosponsor are to other Members of Congress.

      For more, see our methodology. Note that because on this page only legislative activity in the 116th Congress is considered, the ideology score here may differ from Harris’s score elsewhere on GovTrack.

      Compare to all Senate Sophomores (0th percentile); Senate Democrats (0th percentile); All Senators (1st percentile).

        Yeah, but all Senators in the Republican and Democratic party are right wing. Bernie Sanders is an independent so not included in the “Senate Democrats” label. He is a centrist and thus left of her slightly, but there are no leftists in the Senate. Their scale is just from most to least right leaning and not from left to right for a reason.

        In addition to what @riotsoma said below, people also don’t like her due to her actions as a prosecutor before she was in the Senate. They equate her with police basically.

        I disagree wholeheartedly with how she handled drugs in CA, etc., but let’s be clear: prosecutors are not cops. How would a modern society function without them? Truly, this is an open question to all those “Kamala is a cop I’ll never vote for her” people.
