She used to be a prosecutor. That means she can see things from both sides and look at things objectively and not make rash decisions. It's a good quality for a president.
I mean My Only Hope from her being a prosecutor is that she actually prosecutes crimes, I'm not very hopeful of that especially with her seemingly not wanting to bring back Lena Khan, but I can dream. However normally being a prosecutor would disqualify you for me, good people don't become prosecutors.
Good people do become prosecutors. Why? Because they don't want to see bad people on the street. Sometimes you'll wind up having to fight against someone innocent, but that doesn't necessarily make someone bad. You have to prove without a doubt that that person didn't do it. It's essentially debating whether they did it or not. That doesn't make a prosecutor bad.
Did she say something about not bringing back Lina Khan? The only thing I saw was that Mark Cuban said he didn't like her (which is just another plus in my mind. If the billionaires are scared of you, you're doing something right), and whoever printed the article decided to call him a "Harris Surrogate."
Which I'm pretty sure is just flat out untrue. He supports her, and maybe he was even organizing for her. But "surrogate" means he speaks for her, and as far as I understand it, he absolutely does not
We larping pigs now?
JFC... Is there anything liberal about the modern moderate democrats?
Disgusting statism and corporatism is all they seem to be about.
They got theirs, fuck everyone else.
No…that’s the Republican Party platform. The current Democratic Party is very much about make the government work for the people and do at least something to rein in the rich and corporations
I need whatever this guy is smoking
I mean there's been a lot to help corporations and the rich I don't agree with but the current administration has also given tons of resources to the IRS to claw back evaded taxes from the wealthy, made moves to bust monopolies and price-fixing practices, and while they aren't directly responsible there has been a historic expansion of unions not seen in my lifetime
Also, there's a reason why conservatives are fighting tooth and nail to stop every attempt he's made at student loan forgiveness...
And even still, his administration has managed to find several novel ways that has allowed them to eliminate billions in student loans despite all of that.
He's smoking you lol
acab.... But prosecutors aren't cops and if your simple brain can't comprehend the difference, then I don't know what to tell you. Our society would not function without people in roles that enforce the laws that our government passes.
I would love to hear how you would go about punishing/rehabilitating/removing from society a murderer justly and fairly without prosecutors. Truly, I'm all ears.
🤡
Just because us system "seperates" them as some sort of check on each other, it is clearly not working in practice.
Look at how the system actually functions not what propaganda says.
