Except she quite literally didn't do her job and went out of her way to keep non violent offenders in prison after the damn supreme court told her ass to cut that shyt out. She's a piece of shyt and has no business being Veep
How Kamala Harris Fought to Keep Nonviolent Prisoners Locked Up
As California attorney general, she spent years subverting a 2011 Supreme Court ruling requiring the state to reduce its prison population. The overseeing judicial panel nearly found the state in contempt of court.
prospect.org
"Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), a leading candidate to be Joe Biden’s running mate, repeatedly and openly defied U.S. Supreme Court orders to reduce overcrowding in California prisons while serving as the state’s attorney general, according to legal documents reviewed by the Prospect. Working in tandem with Gov. Jerry Brown, Harris and her legal team filed motions that were condemned by judges and legal experts as obstructionist, bad-faith, and nonsensical, at one point even suggesting that the Supreme Court lacked the jurisdiction to order a reduction in California’s prison population.
The intransigence of this legal work resulted in the presiding judges in the case giving serious consideration to holding the state in contempt of court. Observers worried that the behavior of Harris’s office had undermined the very ability of federal judges to enforce their legal orders at the state level, pushing the federal court system to the brink of a constitutional crisis. This extreme resistance to a Supreme Court ruling was done to prevent the release of fewer than 5,000 nonviolent offenders, whom multiple courts had cleared as presenting next to no risk of recidivism or threat to public safety.
More from Alexander Sammon
Despite a straightforward directive from the Supreme Court to identify prisoners for release over a two-year period, upholding a 2009 ruling that mandated the same action over the same timeline, the state spent the majority of that period seesawing back and forth between dubious legal filings and flagrant disregard. By early 2013, it became clear that the state had no intention to comply, leading to a series of surprisingly combative exchanges.
While Harris’s ultimately unsuccessful presidential campaign saw questions raised about her criminalization of truancy and her tough-on-crime reputation during her time as San Francisco’s district attorney, her role in California’s prison reduction case largely flew under the radar, though it was decried at the time. As concerns grow about Donald Trump’s subversion of the law—he, along with his attorney general, William Barr, is currently defying a Supreme Court ruling by refusing to restart the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program—the potential Democratic vice-presidential nominee engaging in relatively similar obstinacy is jarring."
Prob the most damning quote from that article
Of course, Harris has been criticized on multiple occasions for fighting to keep people, including innocent ones, in prison. In the case of Daniel Larsen, an ex-felon sentenced to 27 years to life under California’s “three strikes” law, Harris argued “that even if Danny was innocent, his conviction should not be reversed because he waited too long to file his petition,”

Shade Room effect
Why would the Dems give up the incumbency and go with someone unproven? That doesn’t make any sense.
Problem is Biden is proving he doesn't have the vision or the lack of political instinct to do anything other than let the GOP strip our laws systematically

I wonder why democrats aren't aggressive. They have so much ammo they can fire off but they sit quiet.
Well corp dems and GOP all have the same donors and they not doing nothing not approved by their donors. That's the reason why Manchin and Sinema are still around because donors like their policies

go in the Chicago or New York thread and say that
also black folks dont like living next to criminals...
I dont know about other major cities but in Chicago the politicians basically just say "we need more after school programs"
Internet black folks are largely in their own bubble.
Normal black people are tired of the BS from Democrats

national politics is such a shyt show...
people pick and choose what to be upset about as if ANY ONE politician or party alone can fix anything....it will take a system wide shift to fix this country....and that wont happen....people would rather pick sides and finger point.....
from Obama to Trump to Biden i would venture to say that not many people's lives are that much different through those 3 administrations.....
pay attention to your local elections...thats where the most affect on your life will come from

because they are beneficiaries of the status quo and most democrats, being white, have no skin in the game.
Explain needs to do better?Still trying to push this false narrative that Biden won't have enough black support. I think he needs to do better but.
