But she's non-white and female so she has that working for those voters. Maybe they are trying to hit two birds with one stone.
Trump would go for the line that Biden is an old stooge who will let the radicals take over. However his running mate spending her career locking up black kids contradicts that.

Neither are the differences between the SS and Gestapo, but I know they're all enemies of the people. If your argument is purely about a job title, then sure, it's not accurate to say she was a cop, but I don't think it really matters considering she upheld all the same garbage.

No disagreement. I agree that prosecutors are a part of the same system of oppression that police officers are a part of.

Dark_Star said: People are also mad about lives being ruined over shit that shouldn’t be illegal in the first place, like drugs. Prosecutors routinely ruin people’s lives over such things....and Kamala did not have a good record of being progressive with things like drugs when she was a prosecutor. Quite the opposite in fact. Blows my mind that on this website; the shroomery...aka a website around a fungus that’s been banned by the government for no good reason, we have people defending prosecutors like Kamala. Just as crazy as all the right-wingers here waving their law & order flags. What a joke.....
Blame the legislatures and governors that passed those laws. A prosecutor doesn’t make the laws.

I blame them too. But prosecutors participate & therefore just as culpable.

I agree with you 100%. If I had one major criticism of the Democratic party, it would be that they're not left-leaning enough.
This kind of thinking is exactly why I'm increasingly going conservative/republican. The democrats are already getting too "liberal" for me, and now we've got all sorts of people wanting them to go even further. Well, you can count me out. I think I'm going to vote republican up and down the ballot this election.
Also Kamala is shit.

There's a reason Manson is in jail despite not being a murderer himself. And Hitler is responsible for the Holocaust despite never gassing a single person himself.
Harris was a top cop. They call them prosecutors.

There are economic issues where I want the Democrats to go farther left. I don't know what I want them to do about law enforcement. But if cops keep needlessly killing black people the, the social backlash will get more extreme than what we are experiencing now.

Man you should really read up on the history of policing in America, if not the concepts of crime and punishment in and of itself.

To me, economic issues are the most important ones, and those are the ones Biden/Harris won't dare hurt the wealthy to make things a little better for the rest of us.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Oh, I thought removing statues, having the police reform themselves and begging white peasants not to be racist was the most important issues of our time. Who cares about the economics? It's not the Democrats of 2020.

What I said was if cops keep needlessly killing black people, what looks like social disruption now will escalate into full blown riots. I think a lot of people think we are having riots now. That's because they've never seen a real riot.

Really, Republicans advocate for the removal of statues, police reform and removal of white covert racism?

Sure but it’s so much more sinister than the killings of black people. Extrajudicial murder of minorities grabs the headlines but that contributes to the idea that we just need to train officers to de-escalate situations better, or shoot people in the leg as Joe Biden said. The entire system is the issue: from the way crime is codified into law, to how it’s policed, to how it’s prosecuted, to the various ways prisoners are exploited, all the way to the system of second class citizenship (notably disenfranchisement) to folks convicted of certain crimes. That’s the real, premeditated evil here. A racist cop shooting someone is just an emotional crime of passion, a side effect.

I think most of us here can agree the Democrats really don’t give a shit about helping poor and/or marginalized groups, but I’m confused by your response. Are you saying statue removal, police reform, and racism are rooted in economic issues?

No, my point is that the D's prioritize those issues and completely ignore the economic issues.
