    To put things in their proper context, at the time, when she was DA, exactly whose policies DID align with "BLM"?


    The fact is that Kamala's term as DA ended in 2011...and the term "black lives matter" did not appear till 2013 with George Zimmerman's faux pas.

    These things will come out in the debates. Let Biden select her, and everything will be brought up. Antifa-leaning accounts paint her as a "cop".

    You choose her, you're going to lose support of that faction of the political spectrum. Perhaps many of the BLM groups too when you bring up her actual record as a prosecutor or "top cop". She may say things now, but her record in office was different.

    Go ahead, put your eggs in that basket though. Please.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Kamala Harris has a complicated record as California DA. At some points she assisted the police, at other times she was adversarial. The police union actually opposed at least one of her runs, so she can hardly be cast as a police darling.

    Whether the hardest of hardcore BLM participants will vote for her, who knows. Whether they do or not won't swing the election. The vast majority of progressives and black lives advocates would both happily vote for her over essentially any Republican, because she's far likelier to advocate for positive criminal justice reform than any Republican, and also happily put pressure on her once she's in office. The revulsion for Trump is just an added bonus to motivation.

    lmao...boy, you really struggled to cover your tracks there...still a total fail.

    I suppose you are wanting me to post some obscure links/references to counter your hand picked, copy and pasted links?


    Sorry, not gonna waste my time...but hey, keep swinging.

    Like I said, go ahead and put your support behind her. I don't give a fuck! Gives more ammo because of her record on incarcerations.

    Old White Guy who's losing his marbles and a former prosecutor with a spotty record who slept her way to the top. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. I mean Trump is very beatable because so many people hate him, but stack the deck Dems, stack the fucking deck!

    Yup, when faced with the prospect of voting for Trump vs Biden/Harris, for most people, especially blacks, the choice will be simple.

    "Ammo" for what?...what are you talking about now?...do you even know? It surely doesn't seem so.

    And you "don't give a fuck"?...it surely seems so.

    Ammo for the debates. Ammo for the political ads.

    Trump's side isn't going to just lay over and take it no matter who your nominee is. Harris' record will be attacked hard if she's the VP nominee. She has a bad record and skeleton's in the closet. Just giving a little friendly advice, you want someone who isn't easy to attack, especially in today's climate.

    It was much more of what we like to call a "thorazine shuffle than a sprint" ….entertaining though...hairspray has probably fucked up his inner ear equilibrium for good...along with the addling of his brain

    Debates?...seriously?...Trump is not a "debater" by any stretch of the imagination, instead he insults people whenever he cannot actually address a question/issue...either that, or he simply makes up 3rd grade playground nicknames for people who are sharper than him...how very compelling.

    no...they will quit and write tell all books ...I don't think Trump's belly would allow him to lie on his side, although if anybody could lie anywhere anytime...it's him

    We should have many debates then! In person debates, would be great!

    Biden can hold Trump accountable for the last 4 years in person!

    Trump doesn't debate...he just gives the same campaign speech over and over again..don't expect anything else except maybe nervous pacing on the stage when Joe's talking and Trump taking cheap shots at handicapped people...we're talking preschool shallow when it comes to diaper Don

    But we will have debates and Biden can call him out! Would be wonderful to have him on TV time and time again so the Dem candidate gets more airtime.

    I mean, its really unfair when Trump has these massive rallies with lines of people and Biden won't even be able to fill the recreation center in Stubenville, Ohio.

    Nah, need to go through the processes so people can make informed decisions.

    I mean, Trumps just a bunker bitch, right? Lets get him out of the Bunker and Take Joe Biden from whatever basement he's hiding him and have them go in front of the American People! Many times! Big League!

    there's only one sane informed decision...the other one is for people who want to watch the world burned down....
