Harris withheld evidence that would have freed a man from death row until she was forced to reveal it. She argued for continued imprisonment of non-violent convicts past their release date because she needed their slave labor. She put trans women in men's jails. She refused to prosecute Steve Mnuchin's bank even when there was evidence of thousands of cases of mortgage fraud. She also refused to prosecute Catholic sex abuse cases. But to make up for it, she prosecuted women for their children's truancy, all of whom were poor and/or minority, many suffered from medical conditions and/or their kids did, yet she perp walked them on national television. Since then, what exactly has she done as Vice President? Except to side with Biden on everything including what you admit is a genocide - and she has stated that she will continue Biden's unwavering support of Israel even as reputable sources are finally admitting the real death toll is in the the six figures, by conservative estimates. Tell me what exactly you find exciting about this except for the color of her skin and what's between her legs?

From a former Biden staffer as reported in the Guardian: "As a staffer in the administration, I heard reports that Harris and her staff pushed the US president to adopt a policy on Gaza that was both more humane and in alignment with international law, but were rebuffed. I saw the Harris I moved to Iowa for in her speech in Selma, becoming the first senior administration official calling for a ceasefire . . ."

I agree with some of your concerns, but, ya know, the lifeboat.

Remains to be seen, I suppose. She, like Biden, can say what she wants but the only thing that will make a difference is if she's willing to turn off the weapons/cash spigot.

She's not Trump?

There are at least 100 million people in this country who meet the qualifications to be president who aren't Trump and who aren't committing genocide. I can't for the life of me understand why genocide isn't a red line, at least for Democrats who claim to be the good guys.
