Following the Sept. 10 presidential debate broadcast on ABC News, many left-leaning voters were outraged at the strongly moderate or even rightward stances Vice President Kamala Harris took on many key issues. Harris debuted as a Democratic candidate who touts her gun ownership, advances plans to cut taxes and hopes to deregulate government involvement in people’s personal lives. As New York Times columnist Ross Douthat put it, Harris’ current administration is “springtime for neoliberalism,” a political approach that favors free markets and smaller governments; stances that are generally Republican pillars, not Democratic.
