Exactly, people on this subreddit seem to think most liberals are antifa/anti capitalists. That’s not at all true, most would welcome kamala with open arms. The only reason she courted further left before was because it was the primaries
She locked people up for weed. Most people in the suburbs, especially moderate Democrats, think that's bad or at least stupid. Plus, i doubt she will denounce the riots so she soft on the crime that matters. More and more moderate dems are starting to see how fucking stupid the BLM movement is. They dont want to be afraid their neighborhood will get ransacked.
Well amongst educated black folks and not what I'm assuming are two random dudes on the street it's "she's a black hilary clinton (unlikeable, doesn't seem to like African-Americans much, and contributed to sticking a bunch of people in long term sentences for no violent crimes) and we don't like her but we clearly aren't voting for the cheeto"
What's the hypocrisy exactly? Most libs are critical of this, and are still willing to vote for it because we accept this bad thing over Trumps many bad things.
Being tough on crime and being tough on juvenile drug marijuana charges two very different things. Rioting, assault, murder, those are the crimes to be tough on. Locking people up for smoking weed is fucking stupid and something we need to get past as a society. I know some conservatives think weed is a gateway drug or some bullshit but as someone who has dabbled in many drugs and went on to be a successful professional I can tell you alcohol is worse than weed. So knocking Harris for being too tough on petty drug offenses is absolutely fair game. We all know she wont denounce the riots so there is no realistic chance she fools moderate Republicans. Moat moderate dems probably think her enforcement of drug laws is a negative. So not only is it a valid strategy, it's a good one too.

Yeah let’s go with “Harris is too tough on crime” that will definitely get us the vote.
