"Who can blame him? Harris locked up over 1500 for pot and then laughed about it when asked if she ever smoked herself,"

"blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts literally forced her to release it,"
Did she hold the evidence herself or was it held in evidence and was previously tested already?
Here are some sources that Harris is an authoritarian cop

Regarding sex work: Kamala Harris ramped up stings in immigrant communities, opposed measures to legalize sex work (or simply to stop sex worker arrests), spread misinformation about human trafficking, ignored sexual misconduct by police, and aggressively targeted websites where sex workers advertised.

I could go on, but honestly it's useless to argue politics online. My main point being that Kamala Harris is being painted as this beacon of progressivism by the media when her record says otherwise so it's understandable why Allred, a true proponent of justice reform, would want to keep his distance. Yes, I understand, Trump sucks. I'm not advocating that people vote for him either.
Yeah no. 90 percent of the actions you're tagging her with had nothing to do with her. And her political positions have obviously changed, but you guys never want to look at her Senate voting record where she had far more latitude to do things her way.
It's just always the same tired shit from 2020 that got debunked after the election because the truth always plays catch up with the lies.
Exactly which 90% of the sources I just posted had nothing to do with her?
