    here goes four more years down the shitter

    just because Trump is a felon does not mean we need a prosecutor

    has anyone here had to deal with a prosecutor firsthand before?

    people that take away rights and imprisons them in deplorable inhumane conditions should not be a leader

      lol what the fresh hell is this take. This has to be the first attempt at this weird rhetoric. Does that mean we need the felon?

      has anyone here had to deal with a prosecutor firsthand before?

      Actually yeah, I got a ticket for running a red light in a weird non-permanent construction detour thing. I hadn’t expected the light to be there since it was on a highway and was part of an unusual u-turn. The cop was sympathetic and told me to go to the court to fight it, and there the prosecutor dropped the charge. I have seen that same court successfully prosecute traffic tickets even without officer testimony, so I was quite pleased.

      Honestly even with how corrupt the justice system can be, I’m not sure you’re gonna find many people who have personally had bad experiences with a prosecutor, much less rational people who would choose someone convicted of 34 felonies over a prosecutor.

        I heard this in some particularly leftist areas of the internet back in 2020 when Biden tapped her for VP. It’s not good, that’s for sure.

        Some people even dug deep into her case record and found some really old cases they didn’t like. It’s just an attempt to keep the flames going against the DNC.

        Harris is probably going to be the best candidate the DNC has nominated since 2008. I am personally thrilled.

          Yeah in 2020 I didn’t like “Top Cop” Kamala Harris because that’s literally how she was marketing herself! I think 4 years in the VP seat have given her a lot of valuable experience with the job and I’m willing to be swayed by arguments that she’s moved leftward and softened on some of her policies regarding incarceration and crime. Sometimes seeing how the sausage is made, then getting some distance and perspective on things, can cause a person to turn their views around.

          Anyway, at this point I’d much rather engage with the Top Cop prosecutor who at least seems to believe in the idea of law and society, over “Day One Dictator” Drowsy Donnie.

            She had already been a senator and was running to the left of Biden back then. So I think she already did the changing.

            Right, that’s what I’m sayin’. It’s a big year for me; I was a Republican back in 2008 and 2012 (because I was young and stupid and in a red state), so this is the first time I’ll have a Democratic presidential candidate to vote for that I’m actually excited about.

                Same. I’ve kept the Christian and ditched the conservative; but honestly I think running headfirst into what basically amounts to socialism aligned me more closely with Biblical values than I ever was as a Republican.

                It’s been a whirlwind-y decade.

      At least we now have a chance of avoiding 4 more years of trump.

      Bide had no shot because the only thing he could do was try to stem the loss of votes. At least Harris has a chance of gaining support.

        I’m hoping she’ll come out with a sharply different stance on the Gaza genocide, because Biden’s stance is straight up destroying the enthusiasm of the Arab American community in terms of getting their vote. They were a big part of why a bunch of states in the Midwest went for Biden, and his stance on Palestine is a very pointed kick in the teeth.

          is there really anyone out there thinking “I care so much about genocide in Palestine that I think I’ll vote for Trump, I’m sure he’ll sort it out” ?

            No, but there are a lot of people with family over there who are probably going to not vote as a result of our asinine policies towards Palestine, which massively helps Trump in the states in question.

        Not to mention his followers have wet dreams about some combination of civil war, “national divorce”, concentration camps, mass murder of “undesirables”, and mass deportation.

        Um, I’ll take a prosecutor over that?

      You should read over her prosecutorial record before making such broad statements. I don’t like LEO either but I did some research and you’re point is shit. She was a very progressive prosecutor anywhere besides San Francisco

      We need someone that actually follows the rule of law. So yeah, a prosecutor just might be what we need right now.
