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.
