-Removed-The "middle ground" in Britain and America, at least, has been dragged remorselessly to the right over the past forty years. Really effective politicians are, indeed, those like Thatcher and Reagan (or, in earlier generations and in the opposite direction, FDR and Attlee) who redefine where the middle ground is.

@earl-of-trumps saidYou may believe, but I know... that she's American.
She's not African. She's Indian and Jamaican, I believe.
Racial tagging is a tired weapon of division.
Stay parasitically attached to your 1950's comfort teat if you like.
But we're moving on.
Fact Check: Yes, Kamala Harris Opposed DNA Evidence for Death Row Inmate
In February, California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered new DNA testing in the 1983 murder case of Kevin Cooper. Cooper came within hours of execution in 2004 after being charged with the murders of an adult couple and two children. Harris opposed the testing when she was the state’s attorney general.
She has since said she supports DNA testing and encouraged Newsom to approve Cooper’s clemency request. She did not offer specifics on why she did not approve the testing during her tenure.
In response to a request for comment, Harris’s campaign pointed to a past statement where the senator called a New York Times columnist last year, telling him, “I feel awful about this.” - Sacramento Bee

Ah. Afro-Jamaican. Ok, a little of this, a little of that but mostly Indian
@earl-of-trumps saidWhere do you think the vast majority of Jamaicans are descended from?

Everyone’s a little bit if this etc earl, even you, but Jamaicans are very African, their every bit as African as African Americans and their ancestors got to Jamaica on the same one way ticket as MLKs ancestors got to the US.
It’s interesting though that the Indian aspect of her heritage is not mentioned in her ethnic description.
The good news for the US is she seems to come from very clever parents.
