This is good news! I am sure the prison population is cheering the news.
How Kamala Harris Fought to Keep Nonviolent Prisoners Locked Up (…past their sentencing for cheep labor.)
I found it fascinating that right wingers labeled her simultaneously both, easy on crime and a hawk
Oh I know, but that is a republican label for the left they pull out of their bag. I remember her when she was major of San Francisco, lived there at the time, another neo-liberal politician. CA is a breeding ground for them.
and her heyna laugh, its all MYSOGYNY and sexism.
Damn, remember when she placed 5th in her home state during the 2020 primary?
Lost to Andrew Fucking Yang.
Remember on that primary debate stage, when Tulsi called her BS out? That was THE moment to treasure. Kamala was the first to drop out, and the least liked back then.

Well it did kill her running.
Well it’s a great thing people stayed home and let Trump win then.
What are you talking about? Yang dropped out before the CA primary, and Harris dropped out the December before the first primary happened. She wasn’t even on the ballot.
I’m voting for Katie Porter
I really like Porter. I’ve seen leftists label her a liberal, but her time in Washington showed that she cares about the working class, so even if she’s more of a centrist than a lot of us would like, she’s still an improvement.
She’s progressive. She a leftist in my eyes. She’s definitely not aligned with the neolibs. Also, she reminds me of Phyllis from The Office.
I actually agree. I’ve always considered her to be a progressive (or at least what’s considered progressive in the United States), but the last time I brought her up on Lemmy I got jumped on and told she’s a liberal.
I love those clips of her when she was grilling CEOs as member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. She has fantastic “get to the point and don’t fuck around” energy which is desperately needed in US politics.
Did you bring her up in a ml or hexbear community? Lemmy isn’t a monolith and there are some people in it hell-bent to call even AOC a liberal.
It probably was an .ml comm, yeah. This was when I was just starting out on Lemmy and was actually excited to talk to the “leftists” on the communist comms. I was hopelessly naive.

Her standing on Israel is suspect.
AOC is liberal as hell
Considering the past couple elections she’s probably as left as we’re gonna get here in California, barring a charismatic young mamdani like figure coming out of nowhere.
Fucking go away.
Such hate for the mildly imperfect.

The general election is over, and it is no longer necessary to defend the contents of that list, to include Kamala Harris.
They don’t want the needle moving to the left. So she was just shy of absolute perfection and was failed by the villainous electorate.
My friend, I enjoy your writing style!
In 2028, it will be very bizarre to see Kamala Harris running for president again with the support of Sam Altman and on the other side the Republican candidate with the support of Peter Thiel.
She was fucking inept. She should have broken completely with Biden.
What was even the point of Biden dropping out if his replacement wasn’t going to change anything?! Ugh. What a waste.
Thus we see that Democrats are conservatives.
Well the point was that dem establishment wanted Biden for the policies, but his brain was leaking from his ears.
Yeah. I put all my chips on her cuz I had no choice. I beat the drums and shouted the rallying cries. But she’s not what America needs. Her sparse discussions on policy and dismissal of the most vulnerable and impressionable voting demographics do not paint a rosy picture of what would happen should she be handed the keys in 2026.
Yeah we need someone who is policy first and those policies need to be progressive
She was the least liked in the 2020 primary. I cringed when Biden picked her for VP and when he picked Merrick Garland for Attorney General. All around shit choices.
Mildly? She is spineless trash
I agree, but her anti-immigration policies go directly against the spirit of California. I’d rather see someone up there with better sensibilities for their constituents, especially in times like these.
She’s literally a genocide supporter. “Hitler was mildly imperfect, at least he wasn’t as bad as Himmler”
🤮

Director of Open AI, Palantir, Mozilla or IBM?

Probably referencing that they provided the calculation machines that the third Reich used

You mean other than the fact that they’re the world’s biggest patent troll?

Is Palantir a non-profit either?
Removed by mod
No, those things matter, I want all of those things to actually succeed & do well. CEO of…McDonald’s, RC Cola, or Craftsman tool group company. They’re not worth a shit since they sold out to China.
Nevermind the sham that is Open AI’s supposed purpose, you want Palantir to succeed??
I’ll be honest, idk what Palantir is, it’s my one blind spot. What do you have against Palantir, is it a Nestlé or something?
Ooooo. Kamala as CEO of Nestlé would be amazing. Two birds!
Palantir is a data snooping founded by Peter Thiel and tightly associated with ICE, the US military, and the Trump administration.
Now, an announcement that she won’t run for President again would be even more welcome.
She’ll probably join the Republican lineup.
She’ll go on tour with the side talkers daughter when she runs for prez.
Good
The whole Democratic party is just… done. They really F’d it all up for the rest of us. Remember, SCOTUS handed them complete power months before Biden left office and they did nothing. They sold us out. They also cater to the rich and never make substantial changes that benefit the American people. I highly recommend John Stewarts latest podcast, where he interviews someone who really gets it. We need politicians who do what they say they will do, not “whatever the people want… today.” The racists bigots in the Repugnican party only respond to power. We need a powerful leader, not a bunch of weak, insider-stock traders.
It’s because Elani’s billionaire father already bought the position and “nobody better dare try to challenge her!”
From April 2023:

Good
Thank God. The only way a Republican could actually win in a normal election has been averted.
Thank god, spineless trash
Do not run. Do not run.
Thank fucking god
Thank fucking goodness!
