No, Kamala Harris had some pretty extreme "Progressive" positions such as open borders.

I don't see the point of insinuation. Make a point, or leave it, please. Doing this is just a waste of time.

What benefit do you gain from outright lying like this?

Hackernews is not the place for political arguments. That's not just a suggestion, it's a rule. I noticed somebody used an ambiguous word in a way that, IMO, was not quite correct, and it is an interesting word so I clarified the technicality, and mea culpa, I probably dipped into actual politics too far. Let's get back to building stuff, yes?
