      Bernie served 18 years in the Senate and 16 in the House. Harris served 4 years in the Senate. Her voting record goes back less than one term, and it took place during the Trump administration, which means they would have been mostly symbolic votes. You can’t seriously compare that to a 34-year record of advocating for progressive legislation.
