They are two people who are physically different but share a single radical viewpoint.

The contrast with just four years ago is stunning.

Then, Joe Biden was depicted as a centrist who picked Harris because of her biracial status and gender and also because she checked the progressive box with her left-coast policies.

The aim reflected the traditional goal of most veep choices: Broaden the party’s reach with a ticket that appeals to different constituencies.

Yet with Biden off the stage, Dems inexplicably are lurching even harder left.

As such, the progressive ticket for 2024 completes the takeover by what was a relatively minor faction not so long ago.

It’s also a reflection of the cancel culture sweeping college campuses — no disagreement allowed.

The selection is all the more perplexing given that Biden was far more of a leftist than advertised — and the public didn’t like it.

He and Harris embraced open borders and blowout spending on green fantasies that raised gas ­prices and sparked inflation.

They also force-fed the nation a diet of radical cultural leaps.

It turns out that putting boys in girls’ bathrooms isn’t popular.

Who knew?

Their zealotry earned the duo a withering thumbs-down from voters long before Biden’s ouster.

His 36% approval rating reflected ­unhappiness with the administration’s policies more than anything else.

So now Dems are offering a double dose of the same agenda already rejected by the vast ­majority of Americans.

Brilliant, just brilliant!
