Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You have to ask who these things are convincing to. Which cohort has their minds moved because of this interview (or that gaffe, or this policy, revelation whatever).
Harris hasn't moved any where but down in polling since her rightwing shift and she's just about out of time to change that. So it should be obvious that this approach isn't working on any one.
When was this supposed "rightwing shift?"
Your dismissive tone suggests you don't think the thing exists or happened. Which would mean you are either oblivious or intentionally ignorant to basic news cycles. But even the most cursory or superficial level of knowledge and understanding of the candidate and their campaign can be used to highlight her shift to the right.
It started during the convention, with the final night highlighting Republicans while refusing to platform a Gazan: https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/dnc-democratic-national-convention-08-22-24/index.html
Intercept on her embracing of NeoCon's: https://theintercept.com/2024/09/14/dick-cheney-kamala-harris-neocons/
LA times article on it: https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-10-10/2024-election-kamala-harris-policy-shifts
However, we don't need only rely on reported news, we also have data we can use to address questions like this. (Codeshare link for reproduction: https://codeshare.io/dejgKZ, data sources are Nate Silvers)
Regression analysis puts the shift manifesting in polling at about ~September 16th.
And its not unique to one swing state (you can run the analysis yourself):
So I don't make the assumption that your comment is in good faith, but I also don't want you to have any wiggle room here.

My exception is that your rhetoric will go from "She didn't shift to the right" to "It was a good thing that she shifted to the right"
