No 'good' time for this, but here it is: Kamala Harris Was Not a 'Progressive Prosecutor' [View all] elleng Feb 2019 OP

An interesting article, and recommended for visibility. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #1

It's an opinion piece. N/T lapucelle Feb 2019 #12

I'll stick to politifact's overview JHan Feb 2019 #2

More nuanced, but it still identifies the same trouble spots for me. n/t Ms. Toad Feb 2019 #6

Personally, JHan Feb 2019 #8

From that perspective, Ms. Toad Feb 2019 #9

zero parents went to jail. JHan Feb 2019 #37

Zero parents went to jail while she was a prosecutor - Ms. Toad Feb 2019 #46

This is very weak sauce. She's still my number one choice. For now anyway. manor321 Feb 2019 #3

Yawn. ismnotwasm Feb 2019 #4

yawn? And what do you want in a prosecutor and our legal system? Harris may be JCanete Feb 2019 #67

I agree with your reforms except.. MicaelS Feb 2019 #10

There are. She claims to be one - but her record says otherwise. n/t Ms. Toad Feb 2019 #11

... lapucelle Feb 2019 #13

Those are legislative votes in the US House - Ms. Toad Feb 2019 #14

It sounds like you're saying that you heard that Harris knowingly imprisoned lapucelle Feb 2019 #15

I'm not sure whether it was imprisoning them or not disclosing evidence that would release them. Ms. Toad Feb 2019 #16

I suggest that people read the actual news reports, rather than the spin. lapucelle Feb 2019 #20

The article made that claim. eom guillaumeb Feb 2019 #17

That was an opinion piece. N/T lapucelle Feb 2019 #18

An opinion piece that referenced specific cases. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #19

That's why I went to the actual sources cited. Not only do they tell a more objective story, lapucelle Feb 2019 #21

Feel free to post an article referencing these sources. eom guillaumeb Feb 2019 #23

Here are the news stories that the op-ed writer links to. lapucelle Feb 2019 #24

Thank you. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #25

All candidates should be queried at length about their records and votes lapucelle Feb 2019 #40

Agreed. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #49

Hopefully, facts and voting records heretofore glossed over lapucelle Feb 2019 #50

Well said. Nothing to add to that. eom guillaumeb Feb 2019 #51

No, she wasn't. None of them are, really. (Prosecutors, I mean.) They're cops. Iggo Feb 2019 #22

I'm also concerned about the cases she didn't prosecute. shanny Feb 2019 #26

You do seem obnoxiousdrunk Feb 2019 #55

thank you for yours shanny Feb 2019 #56

If what the article says here is true, it's very concerning Quixote1818 Feb 2019 #27

You should read the actual news stories concerning the events. lapucelle Feb 2019 #41

I did NOT say that. What's the term for claiming Hortensis Feb 2019 #73

I didn't say you claimed anything. I should have phrased differently, but my point was that the DA JCanete Feb 2019 #74
