    This is good news! I am sure the prison population is cheering the news.

    How Kamala Harris Fought to Keep Nonviolent Prisoners Locked Up (…past their sentencing for cheep labor.)

      I found it fascinating that right wingers labeled her simultaneously both, easy on crime and a hawk

        Oh I know, but that is a republican label for the left they pull out of their bag. I remember her when she was major of San Francisco, lived there at the time, another neo-liberal politician. CA is a breeding ground for them.

    Damn, remember when she placed 5th in her home state during the 2020 primary?

    Lost to Andrew Fucking Yang.

      Remember on that primary debate stage, when Tulsi called her BS out? That was THE moment to treasure. Kamala was the first to drop out, and the least liked back then.

      What are you talking about? Yang dropped out before the CA primary, and Harris dropped out the December before the first primary happened. She wasn’t even on the ballot.

      I really like Porter. I’ve seen leftists label her a liberal, but her time in Washington showed that she cares about the working class, so even if she’s more of a centrist than a lot of us would like, she’s still an improvement.

        She’s progressive. She a leftist in my eyes. She’s definitely not aligned with the neolibs. Also, she reminds me of Phyllis from The Office.

          I actually agree. I’ve always considered her to be a progressive (or at least what’s considered progressive in the United States), but the last time I brought her up on Lemmy I got jumped on and told she’s a liberal.

          I love those clips of her when she was grilling CEOs as member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. She has fantastic “get to the point and don’t fuck around” energy which is desperately needed in US politics.

            Did you bring her up in a ml or hexbear community? Lemmy isn’t a monolith and there are some people in it hell-bent to call even AOC a liberal.

              It probably was an .ml comm, yeah. This was when I was just starting out on Lemmy and was actually excited to talk to the “leftists” on the communist comms. I was hopelessly naive.

        Considering the past couple elections she’s probably as left as we’re gonna get here in California, barring a charismatic young mamdani like figure coming out of nowhere.

              Palantir is a data snooping founded by Peter Thiel and tightly associated with ICE, the US military, and the Trump administration.

    It’s because Elani’s billionaire father already bought the position and “nobody better dare try to challenge her!”

    The whole Democratic party is just… done. They really F’d it all up for the rest of us. Remember, SCOTUS handed them complete power months before Biden left office and they did nothing. They sold us out. They also cater to the rich and never make substantial changes that benefit the American people. I highly recommend John Stewarts latest podcast, where he interviews someone who really gets it. We need politicians who do what they say they will do, not “whatever the people want… today.” The racists bigots in the Repugnican party only respond to power. We need a powerful leader, not a bunch of weak, insider-stock traders.
