Just One Thing: Will she get away with it?
The question isn’t so much “does she actually believe these things” as “does she actually believe anything?” And both of those are probably less relevant to the question, “will she get away with it?” When running for president in 2020, Kamala Harris opposed all funding for the border wall and wanted to decriminalize illegal border crossing; she wanted to defund or at least reimagine law enforcement including ICE and she raised bail money for criminal rioters and sex offenders; she wanted to ban fracking and end private health insurance. Now she wants to build the wall, fund the police, continue fracking, keep insurance, and she’s also suddenly fully supportive of Israel. She’s flip-flopped more than John Kerry.

And now she's trumpeting freedom and rights and opportunity and love-of-country after being one of the most left-wing, anti-freedom and fundamentally anti-American members of the Senate.
So again, I ask you, does she believe these new positions? Or, more importantly, does she actually believe anything? And, most importantly, will she get away with it?

Hard to describe how much I hate headlines like this: Colorado property tax cuts benefit wealthy and divide Democrats - Axios Denver
Here's the translation: "Property tax cuts will be proportional to property values, just as the taxes themselves are. Some Democrats want to redistribute income instead."
