(12,462 posts)I just advise a questioning eye.
I would also humbly ask that we, as Democrats, discern the difference between what is reasonable criticism or questions and what is doxing or slander.
The The Week article linked above by Mr.Cooper has an unnecessarily inflammatory title and it steps out onto thin ice of opinion versus facts but it pulls back a little in making a very specific criticism of Ms. Harris and some of her decisions as the California AG. I admittedly know nothing of the criticism but that specifically seems to fall into legit grounds as a question. Also, to be fair to Mr. Cooper, he actually closes out his discussion of Ms. Harris as a presidential candidate on a positive note as the best of the current options.
Mr. Cooper is definitely more to the left than some and skimming through his past articles I agree with some and disagree with some and I am more to the left than many but I am far from a berniebro. I supported and campaigned for HRC and would do it again despite her and I not not completely seeing eye to eye on certain issues. I dont expect or need the perfect candidate, just one that works toward Democratic Party ideals.
I didnt read the other links, I typically avoid reddit and counterpunch and have never heard of the other two.
