Kamala Harris' freedom flip-flop

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : Harris also co-sponsored and promoted the College for All Act, a plan from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for government-funded college tuition, and twice signed on (in 2017 and 2019) to Sanders' Medicare for All plans, which would have essentially ended private insurance in favor of socialized medicine.
57% : For instance, she was one of just over a dozen co-sponsors of a Senate resolution in support of the "Green New Deal," whose planks included "providing higher education, high-quality health care, and affordable, safe, and adequate housing to all."
55% : "There are government policies that make getting ahead more difficult -- things like high taxes, occupational licensing, and endless layers of bureaucracy.
52% : In her first official campaign video, released in late July, images of Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), flash across the screen while a Harris voice-over says, "There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate.
45% : It's subtly trying to redefine freedom as Americans typically understand it -- to cast it not as an absence of government intrusion but as more government intrusion, so long as this intrusion is done in the service of some goal that Harris and her fellow Democrats deem worthy.Democrats' new emphasis on freedom may initially seem like a welcome development -- a return to the time when the party was better on civil liberties, at least, and perhaps even a signal that it's prepared to loosen up a little in other realms too.
44% : Right now, that means backing off some Sanders-style democratic socialist policy prescriptions, while still flirting with what sounds like government price controls on groceries.
33% : In the end, the Harris-Walz conception of freedom isn't broadly compatible with freedom from excessive government interference in our lives, our schools, our businesses, our shopping carts, or anything else.
25% : And under Trump, the party has turned broadly hostile toward immigration and suspicious of the electoral process.
21% : The Harris campaign also recently reiterated her rejection of Medicare for All.
