I'm sorry. I don't know much about Kamala Harris. I'm not american and all i heard was that she worked hard for the prison industrial complex and got a lot of people put in prison?

If i am wrong than I'll gladly say I'm wrong. I hope she does then what Bernie is asking of her.

Sorry if i was wrong :)

All good

She was a prosecutor before becoming an attorney general, then a senator, and then of course a VP.

While she has enforced the law as a prosecutor, as was her job, when it came to policy making she has been consistently progressive, and much more aligned with Bernie and the left than the center.

I don't think this is well known, and some people think she's just another centrist neo-liberal, but that is not the case when you look into what's she's done

She’s pretty darned progressive, and not badly capitalist.

Why are you making confidently incorrect statements if you "just don't know". Better that you admit it, but why do it in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I didn't say that i did not know. I said i dont know much. I do know she was a prosecutor who fought hard to keep non violent people in prison.

So I'm not making confidently incorrect statements.

Are you talking about my joke in my very first comment? We should not pretend she is not a liberal. She is progressive, yes. But she is not a leftist. I do not believe she will be some savior of the working class. I would gladly be proven wrong. But i have to see it happen before i believe it.

Democrats consistently say they will do this and that when elected. Then its either watered down or abandoned.

I hate this "nyehh" meme. Because 99% of the time it's used to erect a straw man. Maybe in this case it isn't, but I still want it to go away.

I like this meme. Would like to see the artist's name on it.
