She called herself the "top cop". I fucking hate the police and she's got my vote over a literal pedophile felonious fascist. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago I'm no fan of cops, but I think this actually plays very well with the political environment. Recent elections saw rebukes of progressive Police policies in the Pacific North West. As much as I wish it were otherwise, that message isn't resonating with voters even in considerably progressive areas. Having a traditional prosecutor may be an advantage in that regard. And it may provide us a new avenue to look at how we can have better policing that more people will support. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Triasha@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago She was a cop. She did the thing we wish all cops did and left the profession. permalink fedilink source parent [–] capital@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Seriously, thank you for voting. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sentientity@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago Fwiw, I am harshly critical of most elected dems but I have never considered not voting. I think I and many people hold our allies (for lack of better term) to higher standards and get angrier when they fuck up. So I think a lot of these posts are just that. Harsh criticism of a candidate =/= not voting for them. People are strategic about voting pragmatically, they’re just also very frustrated with the dem establishment’s behavior. permalink fedilink source parent
