We're not a monolith.
Kamala is the best choice, at this point in time. From being submerged in online rhetoric so long, I was actually shocked to learn that she's the most progressive woman in the senate (beating Warren).
And even against her history as DA, she supports restructuring public safety, just like Warren. (The only reason I think neither woman have touted the "Defund the Police" line, is because they realize it's political kryptonite).
She also has the benefit of having seen the other side of the system, so she would not have shitty police chiefs questioning her credentials.
Was I team Warren all through the primaries? Yes. Did I hope she would snag VP? Yes. But right now, it doesn't make sense to not choose Harris, and I'm pretty cool with it.
Did i say that we're a monolith?
My personal opinion is that I'm not in favor of her and know others that are worried about her background.
Atleast explain yourself...
I mean....looking at the climate now with the call for police reform, and then look at her record as attorney general. It's one of the main reasons i do not think she will be a good pick, especially since we already know biden is already iffy on the subject.
Things like how her office responded with overcrowding in ca jails. They mention a loss in labor, she claims she wasn't aware of that. If true...that's also not a good look. Also with how her office dealt with wrongfully convicted people's appeals. Daniel Larson's case in particular, but not something new for her office. Her appeal after a judge deemed the death penalty unconstitutional. Which...she didn't have to do. Then there was the resistance to hold police accountable for shootings.
I'm not saying she's a horrible person, and hasn't done any type of reform. As that would be a lie. However, things like the above make me less than willing to trust her.
End of the day, she isn't my first choice. But if selected, i will support the ticket.
Is that enough of an explanation for you?
