    Was that excerpt from a satire column? Also, that’s not because of a prosecutorial background. That’s called being a competent professional. Granted, a rarity these days.

      Nah the tweet/post is just kinda weirdly clickbait-ifying the article to make it sound like people are complaining about competence.

          Even better is the fact that he illegally registered to vote while serving time for a felony. Such a wonderful example for the party, and he’s one of the leaders.

      People who have worked for Harris say her interactions with staff can resemble a prosecutor prying details from a witness, asking pointed questions about everything from her schedule to policy briefings. And her cautious approach to big decisions has frustrated deputies rather than inspire them.

      how dare she gasp schedule her time?!?!

      Man, I WISH I had bosses like her. Ask me questions, make sure, then explain why I’m wrong if I am. It ain’t hard. Don’t micro-manage, just exist as someone I can trust to actually speak up.

    staffers are used to politicians that don’t read shit and just move about sponsoring laws they don’t know or care about.

    this is actually a great endorsement for Harris. she reads, highlights, takes notes, asks questions and demands reasons? sign me the fuck up.

      And also important: changes their mind when confronted with evidence that their administration or themselves might have the wrong position on a topic. Some may call that flip-flopping, but it isn’t when it follows the facts.

        Flip flopping implies indecision regardless of validity of fact and switching without good reason. If there is good reason to switch, then it is simply making an informed decision. People who don’t change their stance when presented with convincing evidence to the contrary are cultists.

        Unlike a certain someone who showed a pattern of strongly believing in whatever the last person he spoke with told him when he was president.

        Which is even worse than what “flip flop” is supposed to refer to: someone who says whatever they think will resonate most with their current audience. At least that person might have a plan that they just aren’t sharing, whereas “gets convinced by anyone he speaks with” is going to end up pulled along with who knows how many other people’s covert plans.

        CGPGrey, formerly a physics teacher, claimed the teachers know when they ‘forget’ most of the time. They’re tired too and wanted to get away with not having to grade it. He even joked “that guy who reminds the teacher they forgot to collect the homework? We don’t like them either.”

    God I want someone this competent in office so badly. I’m tired of bad politicians conning the system and “good” politicians just running things on autopilot. I want a leader that understands their government so badly.

    This echoes what I’ve been feeling about Kamala’s campaign too. I feel she’ll be great at the job of presidency, but may have to rely on Walz to grease the wheels of congress to actually pass things.

    I work with local-level politicians and we constantly complain about the ones that don’t do the reading. At our level, they nearly all have other jobs, so I get it, but we LOVE when they actually read what we give them and can ask relevant questions. It’s a thousand times better than the ones that just sit there and embarrass themselves every time they open their mouths.

      Like Wilbur Ross? The guy that bailed Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies out after bankrupting a casino during the casino boom. The same Wilbur Ross that is a coal baron and miraculously was appointed to be our Secretary of Commerce.
