~~Harris was a cop herself so don't expect anything to change.~~
Edit: My dumbass was misinformed. Harris was never an actual cop.
Stop saying "cop" when you mean "prosecutor". They're not remotely the same thing.
She was not a cop. She was a prosecutor. Are you calling her a bad person for having been a prosecutor? Should no one do that job? Should crimes be tolerated, not prosecuted?
Who's going to prosecute this murderer we're talking about here in this thread? I watched the trial of the cop who killed George Floyd. The prosecutors were fantastic. They obviously cared deeply about what they were doing. That's why they chose the job. To hold people who hurt innocent people accountable.
Actually I was wrong. I thought she had been an actual cop. I actually feel A Lot better about her as a candidate since learning this today. Shit I might even get off my ass this year and vote for her now. That's my bad.
🫡 I salute your rectitude.
Everytime I bring up her past it goes about like you see in this branch of discussion. We're not supposed to mention it lest the (actual) US left get blamed for criticizing her past history if she loses.
Are you accurate when reporting about her history, or are you posting fiction? It makes a difference in how people respond to your comments.
Depends on how you feel about The Atlantic, I guess.

Hey, no need to be a dick. There's a huge area of being mistaken or just plain old disagreeing regarding conclusions that exists between "accurate" and "fiction". Just because I may disagree with you doesn't mean I'm going to say you have posted "fiction."
