Wait, I thought she needed Congress to do that? Is she making a promise that the Senate needs to be filled to do?
Can I wake up now? I just want to wake up.
Luckily we don't have to put up with this misinformation again.
I will repeat myself one last time.
She had a record number of convictions for cannabis. She had the lowest number of convictions resulting in jail time.
She went after banks that affected her district. They did not like that one bit.
There's a bunch more stuff. But this is plainly a shitty attempt at painting Harris supporters as relying on some form of cognitive dissonance.
another 100% truthful post from return2ozma
is there a history I don't know about? lol
ITT: people who don't know what "cop" means
Edit: prosecutors are cops, judges are cops, spooks are cops, etc
But usually only cops practice street justice with no due process or consequences. Never saw a prosecutor suffocate someone to death for being accused of a petty crime or shoot a kid for holding a toy.
Cops are to prosecutors as worker bees are to their queen. Cops take their marching orders from prosecutors. If ACAB, it is because prosecutors want them to be.
To be fair, Harris had a contentious relationship with cops, when--IIRC--she didn't pursue the death penalty for a cop killer.
Prosecutors have to work with police, but aren't police. Prosecutors want to win, because that's how they get elected. When cops do dumb, illegal shit, prosecutors get pissed because then they can't win a case. Cops usually blame prosecutors for not locking everyone up. Prosecutors get pissed at cops, because cops botch investigations and make stupid, illegal arrests.
Of the two, I have much more respect for prosecutors. Prosecutors are often very good attorneys (in their field).
To reiterate a point: district attorney are elected. The public expects them to win cases. When they don't, even if it's because cops are handing them steaming piles of garbage, they tend to lose their jobs. Shitty, but true. We may say ACAB, but when it comes down to it, a prosecutor that refuses to, for instance, prosecute certain low-level crimes will tend to get voted out of office because it pisses off the constituents.

unless it's US Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, then Republicans can just say no to whatever we vote for.
Fair enough.
I don't really think that D.C. should be a state, but I think that it should have more autonomy for the administration of the city than it has.
Puerto Rico needs it more than we do but Republicans annually propose a removal of our voting rights.
They genuinely want to see DC burn.
