Presumptive Democrat presidential candidate and former VP Joe Biden has named far-left California Senator Kamala Harris as his vice presidential running mate .
Harris is possibly the worst candidate Biden could have picked .
Harris is so extreme that GovTrack rated her the most liberal senator in 2019 – even more radical than Bernie Sanders .
Harris can be easily described as the most extreme vice presidential candidate on a major party ’ s ticket in recent history .
Want examples of Harris ’ extremism ?
Here we go .
In a real doozy , Kamala Harris wants to stop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said in 2019 that she would look at changing America ’ s dietary guidelines to reduce the consumption of red meat .
In her view , red meat is a major threat to the environment , and Americans should change their eating habits as a result .
The government dictating what we should be eating is something straight out of a dystopian novel .
Harris should mind her own business and let Americans choose for themselves what they want to eat .
Kamala Harris also supports a ban on plastic straws .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ politicians have enacted in recent years in our major cities and , of course , Senator Harris ’ own state of California .
Joe Biden ’ s running mate is in favor of the federal government telling us how much red meat we can eat and which utensils we can use to drink our drinks .
That is the wrong direction for America .
We don ’ t want an authoritarian government controlling every aspect of our daily lives .
Unfortunately for Joe Biden , it gets much worse .
Harris also wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ context how devastating this would be to our economy , a fracking ban would eliminate more than 7 million American jobs by 2022 .
Harris joins Joe Biden in his support for the policies of the Green New Deal .
She was the author of the Senate version of the ludicrous bill proposed by radical Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the House of Representatives .
In fact , Joe Biden recently announced an energy plan ripped straight from that Green New Deal which would eventually shut down the oil , gas and coal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Harris ’ energy policies would eliminate more than 10 million jobs from our economy .
In some ways , Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are actually a perfect match , a pair of terrible candidates .
The fact of the matter is that we Americans cherish the freedoms and rights granted to us by God and by our Constitution .
We can not afford a “ President Biden ” and “ Vice President Harris ” enacting authoritarian policies that would strip us of our basic rights , which includes eating red meat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Biden and Harris would destroy the American economy that President Donald Trump has built to historic heights and has now done so twice .

ESPN star Rece Davis wants college football teams playing as many conference games as possible .
During the coronavirus pandemic , the ACC and SEC have both shifted to 10-game conference schedules .

I ’ ve said the exact same thing .
There ’ s no reason to not do 10 conference games .
It ’ s a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to see the toughest games possible , and a 10-game conference format with two non-conference games accomplishes that goal .

ESPN star Rece Davis wants college football teams playing as many conference games as possible.
During the coronavirus pandemic, the ACC and SEC have both shifted to 10-game conference schedules. The Big 12 is doing a 9+1 format, and the Big 10 and PAC-12 aren’t playing football at all. The face of college football on ESPN thinks 10 conference games is the way it should stay forever. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Davis said the following Monday night during the SEC’s schedule reveal, according to Saturday Down South:
I’ve been a proponent of this before the pandemic. I think this is the way it should be. They should play 10 conference games, and they should do it every year, pandemic or not…I think this is the wave of the future, and I hope that this is something the SEC adopts permanently.
I’ve said the exact same thing. There’s no reason to not do 10 conference games. It’s a win for everyone involved.
Fans want to see the toughest games possible, and a 10-game conference format with two non-conference games accomplishes that goal.
You get 10 league games, a great non-conference game and then a cupcake. That format beats the hell out of playing eight conference games and then a few directional schools.

Both former union President Bob King and Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez nominated Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for president of the U.S. on Tuesday night, presenting a procedural bump to former Vice President Joe Biden’s nomination as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate.
Ocasio-Cortez has long been a progressive firebrand within the Democratic Party, and endorsed Sanders during the Democratic presidential primary. Ocasio-Cortez did not mention Biden during her nomination speech.
Tuesday’s proceedings also included a roll call which, according to NBC, is an “archaic procedure” in which candidates that won sufficient support in the primaries can then be nominated for president.
“I hereby second the nomination of Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont for President of the United States of America,” AOC said in a recorded video to the DNC. (RELATED: Polls Show Biden Opening Up Double-Digit Leads Over Sanders Nationally And In Michigan)
It was previously reported that Ocasio-Cortez would be addressing the DNC as a member of Sanders’ nominating group. Sanders dropped out of the DNC in April, after more establishment Democrats consolidated around Biden.
Following the speech, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that she extends her “deepest congratulations” to Biden, and that she was asked to second the nomination for Sanders for roll call.
