(1,399 posts)Except as to a handful of miscreants, no one gives a FRA about Harris's "past." She has had to face criticism over her support for a bill expanding an already passed racist state seizure law which she ALSO supported. She has faced criticism over her defense of California's racist capital punishment system, even while claiming to oppose capital punishment AND even though she clearly felt no obligation to defend Calfornia laws which gored more sympathetic people than death row inmates. She has faced criticism for remaining equivocal on any issue that might offend white folks in the suburbs.
Now, reasonable people might disagree on those issues, BUT it doesn't mean that these criticisms are unfair.
As for some people's accusation that she should be opposed simply because she is "annointed" WHICH I AGREE IS A TOTALLY UNFAIR AND COMPLETE BULLSHIT because just being the establishment favorite doesn't have the first thing to do with whether your policy positions are good or bad, the description that she is "annointed" or "the next Hillary" began years ago and came from her admirers.
