“She did everything in her power to support the mass incarceration system and all of its foundations.”
But Harris is highly problematic for black voters, perhaps more so than any other candidate. She served as the district attorney of San Francisco and later as attorney general of California. In both roles she did everything in her power to support the mass incarceration system and all of its foundations. That is what prosecutors do after all, but most of them don’t try to run for president and ask for black people’s votes. Barack Obama was smart enough to choose a career path free of such red flags. As a community organizer,state legislator and United States senator he took a route that black people were able to support. Unlike Harris he was not actively involved in building the prison system, the institution that has done more damage to black people than any other.
My dear departed grandmothers, as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.

Harris is a rat, funny why Joe would pick her because her polling numbers as a presidential candidate were terrible.
Also she is not a black woman.
This is all academic anyway because they will not win.

Yeah she is a black woman her father is Jamaican and yes they were slaves. Cant believe you said there is no black people in Jaimaica. Think growing up she could say she was black or Indian which do you think would be easier?

Why did he pick her?
Easy.. He had no choice.
Firstly.. He is being told what to do by his handlers.
And secondly,, he needed to pick a black woman in order to pander to the current social climate.
Demographics and diversity are more important to progressive voters than actual ability.

I'm still of the impression they knew this election was a non starter and tossed a couple complete losers in to bring in donations for congressional seats. Based on the "campaign" I have seen from Biden so far, and the claimed donations, they should be broadcasting from the moon.
Their town halls and occasional interviews are obviously very cheaply made and in places that likely were either donated or abandoned. They claim to have gotten hundreds of millions in donations. I would love to see how much the tiny camera crew costs in his basement....I mean they would have people believe they have spent hundreds of millions on this campaign?????? That would be insane. If they had started at the beginning of the year with 300 million, they spent a million per day.....anyone here see a million per day in this campaign?
