      She’s a good person and a political pragmatist, who is willing to concede a point to gain ten. She has, like most intelligent adults, evolved farther and farther left to embrace reality.

      (While those in the the Wrong Wing cling to their assorted bigotries and boogiemen, as they lose all grip on sanity and embrace a venal madman as their Savior.)

      For what it’s worth, I’ve helped her in a retail context and she was the good kind of customer.

        Damn. A good customer in a retail setting. Now that’s how I know someone’s an actual good person. Having worked like 10 years of retail front line, that alone make me want to vote for her more. Lol.

        Not that I needed more reason than “let’s not have fascism”, but that’s a big endorsement to me.

          Yes, it was her job, and she did it effectively. She also fought against a measure allowing juveniles to be tried in adult court, but she lost that one.

          Let’s see, prosecutor or felon, prosecutor or felon, which should I vote for? (Remember, we’re not talking about a weed felony or stealing food for a starving family here.)

          I’ll take Kamala any day. And if Trump walked in the front door where I was working retail, I’d walk out the back.

                I don’t think republicans are even using the excuse, they’re just doing it unabashedly

                Cops use the excuse though, I’m sure they will double down on it if their guy wins and the changes start to happen.

              Talking about someone who doesn’t support the death penalty and Feinstein had the gall to call her out for it during a funeral.

      She was never secret about it. She just got painted as a hard conservative in the 2020 primaries.

      Not exactly secret, most of the stuff progressives find objectionable are basically just she had a job that progressives attach to systemic problems and didn’t throw her career away by not doing it to be a better progressive.
