    Am I incredibly jaded for thinking that’s a minimum for reasonability, and incredibly unlikely to happen

      Is that the current right wing attack plan?

      You guys are really scraping the barrel these days. I guess calling her corporate is the only thing you have remaining.

      She used to be a prosecutor. There’s never been any evidence she accepted bribes (she’s not Clarence Thomas)

        I’m about as leftist as it gets, sweety.

        Also, have you ever looked into her record as a prosecutor and are you, as you seem, just a bullet-point, head-in-sand policy wonk that blindly accuses anyone who has any intellectual honesty against your team of being a Trumper?

        “Ordered to reduce the population of California’s overcrowded prisons, lawyers from then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office made the case that some non-violent offenders needed to stay incarcerated or else the prison system would lose a source of cheap labor.”.

        Tbh, I have no voice as a leftist. And you make yourself look like an incredible fool for attacking me for laughing about this absolute neoliberal fluff piece.

        So, please gently and kindly stop gaslighting us.

          You copied that from https://www.thedailybeast.com/kamala-harris-ag-office-tried-to-keep-inmates-locked-up-for-cheap-labor

          And from what I see, they seem to the only ones saying that it has anything to do with cheap Labor. If you can find a real source though that includes court transcripts, I’ll believe it

          Secondly, non violent offenders could include criminals like Trump and other tax fraud people. Ie. The people who regularly get a free pass. Non violent does not mean innocent. It also includes people who scammed elderly people as an example

          What kind of message does that send letting a lot of them loose simply because they are short spaced? They should earn porole

          It’s entirely reasonable for anyone who cares about the law would fight to enforce sentencing. In fact, lawyers regularly defend people they don’t believe are innocent (but the law is the law, and everyone deserves the right to a proper defence)

          Also, posting stuff like this in large font is just annoying. It doesn’t make it credible, it just makes it bigger

            I called it.

            For all of our sake, I also hope this impotent, focus grouped, historically weak candidate that was forced down our throats undemocratically can somehow be enough to defeat the actual douchebag who just survived an assassination attempt. The difference is that: Unlike most libs on here, I refuse to LIE about her abysmal track record doing anything other than fighting as hard as she can for the military industrial complex.

            Good day, madame or sir.

              What did you call?

              You didn’t post any reference backing up your claim and now you’re giving yourself a pat on the back without actually doing anything. Where have I seen that behaviour before? Hmmm

              I needed to google your quote. And I could only find 1 reference… and it didn’t actually have any real references. You made the claim, let’s see the reference

              The only thing you did was post an opinion in an annoying font. WATCH ME USE ALL CAPS. TALKING IN ALL CAPS MAKES WHAT I’M SAYING ALL TRUE!!!

              I thought I’m on lemmy, but apparently, it feels like I’m on Reddit or Facebook

                Called it.

                Why would I waste time with someone who would, for example, excuse utter silence on Gaza for one?

          Copy. Pro-police state. Anti fracking. Got it. At least we’ll have a clean water supply while we live in a police state. ;)

            Compared to the pro-police, pro-nazi, anti-education, anti- corporate regulation, even further pro-genocide, and encourager of hate crimes against minority groups? Among like, a litany of other things…

            Yeah I don’t know why, but for some reason the choice seems obvious.
