Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I'm sorry I don't take your meaning. In response to a comment about people disliking Kamala Harris for her record as a prosecutor, especially when she knowingly withheld evidence and secured the imprisonment of innocent suspects, you just decided to talk about how hate is bad in general? Seems odd. Don't know why you make the comment in that exact spot if it is nothing to do at all with the topic. Kind of confusing.
I’m saying that the intentional burying of head when it comes to her slow shift to supporting it being rescheduled, is hating for the sake of hate.
She did her job, and yeah her view was shit at the time. But she did what we all say we want people to do, and changed her tune. But somehow we still hate her?
You can hate past actions, but she either saw the light, or saw that her views were shit and is acting against her own views in support of the will of the people. A “yeah but” thrown on top is just trying to divide.
I'm sorry what? Where are you getting that she's changed her tune? She isn't up there talking about judicial reform or changing the way prosecutors work.
She moved from “I’m prosecuting these petty drug crimes” to “I believe we should reschedule this substance.”
How is that not changing her tune?
The problem people had with her wasn't merely that she was Prosecuting drug crimes. Did I not make that clear with the whole putting innocent people in prison knowingly thing?
Innocent in popular opinion is different than innocent by law. People did things they knew they could go to jail for, even if the majority of the country was of the opinion that it should be legal.
No I mean innocent by law. Are you being purposely obtuse here? I'm not talking about drugs in the fucking least.
Not the person you're arguing with. Perhaps they aren't aware of the specific things you're taking issue with. So rather than being belligerent, explain what your angle is. What "things" specifically are you talking about. How did Harris throw innocents in jail? Because most people have an issue with her throwing people in jail over possessing small amounts of weed. Obviously you're concerned with something else. So what is it?
Can you share a source? Nothing I’ve seen has suggested this is the case, and the comment this thread started on was about her pursuing drug convictions for posessing weed, which is something that is against federal and at the time many states laws.
Edit: Guess not. Kinda telling when an account makes random insane claims then poofs off when asked for a source. Almost like they aren’t here genuinely.
