On a left-right spectrum between, say, Sanders and Biden, where would Harris stand?

She is around Biden but its tough to say anything on specifics because she hasn't done anything as Senator but troll Trump in committee and as Attorney General of California she was always angling for higher political office.
Actually here is a good article I just read

It really is far too early. The field will get clearer 'after Trump'.
He is sucking up all the oxygen.

In terms of announced policy closer to Bernie, in terms of nature closer to Biden.
She’s basically an establishment Dem who is attempting to frame herself more to left to appeal to the base. For instance she only just committed to not accepting PAC money this past August after realizing that it wasn’t politically feasible anymore.
The big issue is healthcare, yeah? Where’s she at there?
Single Payer
sounds like Gillibrand to me.
She signed on to Bernie's single-payer bill (which had zero co-sponsors before his own run in 2016). And afaik the language she uses is "rights" not "access" (which is what Beto uses), and that is good too.
But I'll always be suspicious of a latecomer, especially one who doesn't have any radical history. I googled kamala harris healthcare and set the date before 2017, and there was zero mention of medicare-for-all.

A centrist platform, if the order matters. M4A cannot co-exist with a tax cut., so I'm going to assume she doesn't mean it, Nothing on climate change or tuition.

She has destroyed countless lives.
ah, cool.
Bernie Sanders Goes There: ‘We Have a President of the United States Who is a Racist’

He's running
He's so phoney.
Wife offers to fellate husband after being satisfied with his political views.
He always makes some good points, although he somehow forgot to mention the white elephant in the room - her visit to Assad.
Will the average American voter care about that?
The average lefty may not, but she will forever be smeared with it in Gen elections if she seeks higher office.
Right, but will the smearing be effective is what I'm asking? Will anybody really care? By the way a considerable proportion of the MAGA crowd are big Assad fans (to the extent that they take an interest or know anything about Syria).
Ugh.
Do not like.
Do not like.
Deleted, what did it say?

Just ridiculous that Biden is a leader in the race. I just don't see why Warren is not 'likeable' but Biden is. Surely there is sexism involved here. Should really be between Warren and Sanders with options like Beto, Harris and Brown one rung below. Not sure what to make of the lady from Hawaii
Bush nuking Dukakis over Willie Horton did a number on the Democrats for a generation. Bill Clinton ran and won on a "tough on crime" platform.
she's a bhakt
Not many care she's a bhakt
But seriously, meeting Assad is all that is wrong with her, it can be put down to opportunistic at worst and ignorant at best. Somehow I think she's a bit of a charlatan whose only claim as a progressive left has to do with her declaring for Sanders. She's not that great on LGBT rights and tends to vote as centrist as anybody but everybody seems to think she has a street cred of Barbara Walters.
Think booker will try and run as Vp on Bernie ticket. He doesn't have the backing of left, but could gain a lot as sanders Vp. Also sanders is old, but so never know he will be around for 8 more years. Booker could get the black vote for sanders.
lmso this is actually true
unbelievable

Kamala Harris, not the worst choice if she can do it.
What's there likeable about Warren? At least Biden has good support in Rust Belt, whilst she is just well known is states that are blue anyway.
Would be interesting to bet in all three of Beto, Biden and Bernie. Of course, the orange buffoon might ruin the party, however I don't see any other Dem getting the nomination, and I think that it is likely that Dems will win the next one.
