I had to turn the tv off because it was a giant masturbatory self suck fest over Kamala being the most progressive shithead since Hitler. CNN is mind melting. No wonder why boomers are the way they are.
It's so transparently manufactured. A nobody shithead prosecutor from California who failed to even get any place at all in a long line of dem primary clowns and nobodies goes from irrelevant VP to HOPE^TM^ 2.0 literally overnight? The dems knew there would never be a second term for Genocide Joe, they must have creamed their collective pants when they saw girlboss Copmala Harris, the perfect candidate to be the farce to Obungler's tragedy, among the list of every nobody presidential hopeful who folded like a wet noodle.
amerikkka wields state executions for the neurodivergent and minorities as a eugenics program, kill mostly innocent people, and use it to make numbers go up
the dnc has never actually wanted to relinquish this tool, and the death penalty needs to be taken away from all dictatorships of the bourgeoisie
sometimes but they certainly can’t be trusted with that power
honestly surprised they even bothered to make a platform at all, it's not just Trump's face with a big x over it?
Pretty sure ~~Biden's~~ Harris's campaign website doesn't even have a policy page
Nope, multiple links to different ways to donate and of course a link to a store page but not a hint of policy
KKKopmala in action
"You protestors really opened our eyes to the hypocrisy of fighting to end the death penalty while supporting Genocide in Palestine. So we are happy to announce that, we took that to heart, and have taken steps to resolve that."
Aaron from Trillbillies has called the politics of the US omnicidal and I agree with it more everyday
US politicians care not where the blood flows from, only that it does. Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne
Prosecutor candidate doing prosecutor things.
She had one good moment as an anti-death penalty DA and immediately decided to give up:
In California, it was unheard of not to seek the death penalty in a case where a police officer is the victim.
But three days later, Harris announced she would not seek the death penalty against the suspect. It was a lonely position. At Espinoza’s funeral at St. Mary’s Cathedral, with Harris in the front row, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein called for the death penalty for Espinoza’s killer. Behind Harris, scores of mourning police officers rose to their feet and applauded. After the service, Feinstein commented that had she known Harris opposed the death penalty, she probably wouldn’t have endorsed her for district attorney.
And then:
Four years later, Harris found herself at another crossroads on the death penalty. This time, she took the path law enforcement favored. In July 2014, a federal judge ruled that California’s death penalty system was so dysfunctional that it had become unconstitutional. Of the 900 people sentenced to death since the state reinstated the death penalty in 1978, just 13 had been executed. More than 40 percent of the 748 prisoners on death row at the time of the decision had languished there for more than 19 years. This delay and uncertainty “violates the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment,” the judge wrote.
. . .
But it could only set a precedent if it wasn’t struck down. It fell to Harris to decide whether to let the opinion stand or appeal it. The timing was tricky. She was up for reelection in four months, and after painstaking work had rebuilt relationships with law officer unions and even won some of their endorsements. Harris chose to appeal.
So like Biden, who also has claimed to be against the death penalty, she's continued to pursue it even when it's completely under her power. Further proof that if there were 100 Democratic senators, there would be 51 Joe Manchins.
Somewhere, deep in the bowels of the DNC compound, an ancient machine chugs to life. The clanking chains and gears shake, casting off the vermin within. metal screams against metal. Gears turn. A soft thunk of the ratchet falling into place.
