I never thought of her as very liberal, just left of center. I guess they know they can't really accuse Biden of being too liberal, so they'll try and tag Kamala, cuz she might be president some day. They tried to tie Biden to Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, but that didn't stick.
They're running out of time and perceived "socialists", and all their fake scandals totally bombed. All their old tricks just aren't working, because they have the absolute worst candidate in the world. They finally found shit that they can't sell.

Despite their supporters fighting online Kamala Harris & Bernie Sanders often work together. Her record as AG isn't great but she does have a liberal record as a Senator. Kamala Harris addition to the ticket is a big reason why I voted for the Biden-Harris ticket.

One, it doesn't consider votes on appointees, which in McConnell's senate is about all that actually happens. I have no earthly idea where she would rank in that regard, and neither do they. It only considers cosponsorship of bills and in particular with whom she has cosponsored bills. She is number two in the one they say their method compares favorably to (Warren is one) but I note a bunch of absent votes for her (she was running for President).
Honestly, I don't particularly see what they are saying they are doing here, and why it would be a perfect predictor of liberalness (I can see it being a good one). In order to aver she is the most liberal it would have to be perfect or close to it
