Oh.... well she's a radical leftist Democrat so she's permitted to evolve instead of flip-flop. She's banking on something that Jonathan Gruber spoke of.

She is an establishment democrat, and not at all radical. Radical democrats don't lock up thousands of people for marijuana, they let accused murderers out without any bail. Radical democrats support universal healthcare, and universal basic income, which Harris does not. Harris just supports whatever her corporate donors pay her to support, and these are establishment politics, not radical leftism. Radicals of any ideology don't flip flop all over the place like a dead fish taking every position imaginable, they tend to be pretty consistent about their ideologies. Kamala is happy to lock people up for nothing, and also happy to let all the criminals out without bail, she will literally support anything, and I doubt she has any ideology at all except a lust for power

When establishment politics and politicians adopt radical positions then I submit that the establishment itself is radicalized and its membership in fact are radicals, notwithstanding the policies they've endorsed in the past.
