    Also ignore the Senate is an inherently conservative institution, or that this vague-ass metric actually seems to value partisanship rather than measure left-right alignment, or that it's easy for a politician to be partisan when they're in the opposition.

      ya and she even voted against a fucking pitiful 10% decrease in the military budget so wtf sort of metric do they even use to describe what is "left" in terms of the shit senators vote for? https://twitter.com/aaronnarraph/status/1291603731591634944
