I am hardly far left and I disagree with many of her legal positions as law is one of my things and I don't fully agree with anyone in that regard.

Running a female POC is a ripe pick. She has campain and large-scale governing experience, 20 years younger than Joe and I find her to be relatively personable, super smart and a persuasive speaker with prosecutorial focus. I sense that she is the kind of person you can simply task with a mission and she will just go get it done. I like that. I'm pretty sure she believes in things like science too. The Harris/Pence debate could be entertaining for all but Mike.

I am a bit upset though as now Leonard Cohen has to share the honour of being the most famous alumni of Montreal's Westmount high school. Her mom was a doc at McGill.

I keep seeing people talk about how great she's going to do in a debate against Pence but her debate performance in the primaries was uneven and it isn't Pence's first time at a rodeo.

Vice presidential debates don't really move the needle on how things are going to shake out but I'll bet both sides are going to have a gteat greasy circle jerk talking about how great their side looked post debate.
