Her record is not spotless tbh.

Anyway, easy solution to the problem: ban Trump and the GOP. Bam, fascism is no more.

The US has no mechanisms to ban political parties

Well, fascism will still exist if you ban Trump and GOP.

Four more days. And then another year? Maybe ten?

It's exhausting.

Virginian here. It's every year for us. State positions are in the odd years.

Apparently putting a huge number of people in jail for minor possession of a drug that is only illegal because of racist 70s politics is spotless, and doing so to support capitalizing the prison system, is spotless. I call it dehumanizing and unconstitutional, but I just care about empirical data that apparently is completely unimportant in tribalist capitalist worshiping countries like the USA.

Countless was a little under 2000 people (at least as far as Harris is concerned) That's about half of what her predecessor in the same office did over roughly the same time period.

Now, that conviction is for "possession, sale, or cultivation". Most paid a fine rather than serve jail time. We also don't know the exact breakdown of possession vs sale vs cultivation.

We also know that Harris pushed for decriminalization and legalization in California, and has pushed some of the same as vice president. I think Joe is the roadblock there, even if he was convinced to pardon a bunch of people for simple possession.

I don't count "spotless prosecutorial record" as a win, but given the two viable choices I'll take it over "shockingly successful fascist demagogue" every time, and twice on Sundays.

Agree on your points, I honestly fucking hate cops and by extension prosecutors that enable and collude with them. However the only other option is worse than a pig.
