I find it interesting how many self identified leftists are cheering and welcoming a racist and corrupt cop as president of the United States.
Like, this isn’t even about the whole “anyone but trump” or “vote 3rd party” war.
The crowd claiming to be the left are just straight up cheering for cops.
Fascinating how I see the left continually blamed for not meeting Dems in the middle with that 1930s Germany copypasta and yet it’s only one of them constantly shifting right.
Since apparently a rabid mob comes up every time someone touches this topic, yes I understand what’s at stake and will be voting accordingly.
I’m sure all these self proclaimed leftists will be there to advocate for the local socialist parties after we secure the presidency right? …right?
You realize you are part of the rabid mob too then? Instead of listening to people with which you mostly politically agree, you immediately resort to shitting on and scapegoating them by jumping to a wild conclusion. This type of rhetoric is equally unhelpful.
I have some reservations (need to research her more) as she was relatively progressive in an American context it seems.
If anyone has more starting points for my research, I am absolutely open.
However, for the moment she’s a “NO” from me. Even at the most forgiving judgements, it seems she sent away a whole bunch of poor people and did nothing about the system that is driving them to crime.
Ah also her weird racism, nepotism, and stances on LGBT issues. Who refers to art in their home by the ethnicity of the artist???
Another one for you. As a Californian, we knew she was bad. That’s why she dropped out polling 5th in the primary.
The Human Costs Of Kamala Harris’ War On Truancy. The “progressive prosecutor” wanted to transform how California responded to students missing school. Parents like Cheree Peoples wound up paying the price.
Good info on her background, thank you! As a former Orange resident this is especially disappointing to read this story and how the mother and child were treated.
Harris has since replaced her punitive stance with the message that parents of truant children need help, not scare tactics. It’s a shift that happened roughly in step with voters’ waning tolerance for using the criminal justice system to address complicated social problems and Harris’ own preparations to seek higher office.
Emphasis mine
She’s a cop, down to her core. She’s got the mentality that “I can fix social problems through the threat and use of coercive state violence”. That was her law, that she asked for, I assumed drafted/guided, and defended publicly…
until she ran for the Oval Office, and was made to choose compassion.

Not I. ACAB. She had a history of horrible policies.

Yeah, it’s all performative ladder climbing bullshit.
