Her campaign crew is taking anything the other side throws her way and flipping it over to her advantage. It looks like they are doing it quick enough to direct the narrative a bit.
It's nice to see the Dems being closer to proactive. (As opposed to sitting for weeks doing nothing)
Maybe have a narrative about what the roles would likely be, if neither were politicians, and they were to meet in court.
Chances are Harris would be the prosecutor, and Trump the CRIMINAL trying to defend himself.
There is no doubt which of the two are on the right side of the law and morality.
being a prosecutor does not automatically put you on the right side and being a felon does not automatically put you on the wrong side
you comment as if you never had to talk to a prosecutor before
most of them will attempt to make you less than human while putting themselves on a righteous pedestal while conversing with someone
not defending Trump but putting prosecutors on the side of good on a binary playing field is slippery slope
I specifically write that Trump would be the CRIMINAL. No doubt about who is on the right side, because of course we want criminals to be prosecuted, dont we?
I have now changed CRIMINAL to be in bold capital letters, so it's easier to see.
Being a CRIMINAL is different from being accused. Which is what you respond to.
Remember Trump is a CRIMINAL, already judged on 34 felonies, despite his heavy attempts to claim presidential privilege, and delay cases on and on.
Without the privileges chances are that he would have been found guilty already in many more cases.
being a prosecutor does not mean you are automatically on the right side nor does being a criminal automatically put you on the wrong side
Harris needs to downplay her role as a prosecutor and try to rise above it
places like Georgia with Cop City might not see a prosecutor as a positive nor would a family that has been torn apart by prosecutors and laws/legislations such as the 94 Crime Bill
people fighting for the civil rights movement were in the wrong in the eyes of the police and prosecutors but they were not wrong on law and morality
law and morality are not defined by prosecutors or law it is defined by votes from citizens otherwise it is not a democracy
Felons are upset they are called Felons? They want to choose what others call them?
Where have I been hearing the opposite for years, on dead naming people and using chosen pronouns? Hmmmm 🤔
While the former president has received broad condemnation from voters and public officials for his indictments, words like “felon,” “thug” and “criminal” are more commonly used against Black and brown people, and play into historic tropes that depict people of color as violent.
Clearly the Harris' campaign is directing these words against a person who isn't Black or brown. I understand these advocates' sentiments, but using only polite and inoffensive language to describe Trump's conduct and nature is part of the reason the Democratic campaign had been so tepid and uninspiring until Harris took the reins. I think Harris is well aware the justice system needs major reform, but how can they make it fair to the poor and disadvantaged if they can't properly call out a rich, white fraudster and let them keep escaping the law?
She could still use her old job to woo progressives so long as she frames it as her experience giving her insight into the broken parts criminal justice system like the police problem and crazy, unqualified judges. But if she goes all thin blue line on us she can get fucked.
