Political Memes

Got a source for the lower number of incarcerations. I've been warming up to the idea of voting for Harris instead of against Trump and that would be another + for her.

I'm voting for her, and I think everyone else should too, but her record as DA isn't all sunshine and roses.

Yes, this is a 2019 article, but all that stuff was in the past then just as much as it is now:

Closing paragraphs of that article:

I can forgive a politician a vote on a crime bill that looks ill-conceived two decades later, or a too-slow evolution toward marijuana legalization, or even a principled belief in the death penalty, something I adamantly oppose. I find it far harder to forgive fighting to keep a man in jail in the face of strong evidence of innocence, running a team of prosecutors that withholds potentially exculpatory evidence from defense attorneys, and utterly failing as the state’s top prosecutor to rein in glaringly corrupt district attorneys and law enforcement.

At best, Harris displayed a pattern of striking ignorance about scandalous misconduct in hierarchies that she oversaw. And she is now asking the public to place her atop a bigger, more complicated, more powerful hierarchy, where abuses and unaccountable officials would do even more to subvert liberty and justice for all.
