Except for the bank of those who are just Russian agents who will undoubtedly find some new “excuse” why the Democrat candidate is not fit to run.
Expect lots of "cop" comments in regards to Harris from ~~Russians~~ totally real leftists.
She was a cop. She called herself the "top cop". I fucking hate the police and she's got my vote over a literal pedophile felonious fascist.
I'm no fan of cops, but I think this actually plays very well with the political environment. Recent elections saw rebukes of progressive Police policies in the Pacific North West. As much as I wish it were otherwise, that message isn't resonating with voters even in considerably progressive areas.
Having a traditional prosecutor may be an advantage in that regard. And it may provide us a new avenue to look at how we can have better policing that more people will support.
She was a cop. She did the thing we wish all cops did and left the profession.
Seriously, thank you for voting.
Fwiw, I am harshly critical of most elected dems but I have never considered not voting. I think I and many people hold our allies (for lack of better term) to higher standards and get angrier when they fuck up. So I think a lot of these posts are just that. Harsh criticism of a candidate =/= not voting for them. People are strategic about voting pragmatically, they’re just also very frustrated with the dem establishment’s behavior.
