Luckily we don’t have to put up with this misinformation again.
I will repeat myself one last time.
She had a record number of convictions for cannabis. She had the lowest number of convictions resulting in jail time.
She went after banks that affected her district. They did not like that one bit.
There’s a bunch more stuff. But this is plainly a shitty attempt at painting Harris supporters as relying on some form of cognitive dissonance.
That’s because back the blue is just a more polite way to say the 14 words
Wait I don’t get this one. What’s the 14 words? I’m an elder millennial and sometimes I miss the new slang.
Edit thanks for the quick answers.
I remember seeing some wild story in 2020 about someone getting banned from some game because their name was something like corona1488 but corona was their last name and Jan 4th 1988 was their birthday. I think they were able to get it fixed and maybe they changed their in game name too.
I don’t remember the exact words off the top of my head and too lazy to look it up, but it’s a neonazi dog whistle. Something about ‘protecting the future of the white children’
These 14 words don’t really have the “punchy” characteristic I’d expect from a slogan.
I’m also an elder millennial and I learned about it from the incredible podcast “Weird Little Guys”. I cannot recommend it enough. Such a good show.
To be fair, Harris had a contentious relationship with cops, when–IIRC–she didn’t pursue the death penalty for a cop killer.
Prosecutors have to work with police, but aren’t police. Prosecutors want to win, because that’s how they get elected. When cops do dumb, illegal shit, prosecutors get pissed because then they can’t win a case. Cops usually blame prosecutors for not locking everyone up. Prosecutors get pissed at cops, because cops botch investigations and make stupid, illegal arrests.
Of the two, I have much more respect for prosecutors. Prosecutors are often very good attorneys (in their field).
To reiterate a point: district attorney are elected. The public expects them to win cases. When they don’t, even if it’s because cops are handing them steaming piles of garbage, they tend to lose their jobs. Shitty, but true. We may say ACAB, but when it comes down to it, a prosecutor that refuses to, for instance, prosecute certain low-level crimes will tend to get voted out of office because it pisses off the constituents.

unless it’s US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, then Republicans can just say no to whatever we vote for.
Fair enough.
I don’t really think that D.C. should be a state, but I think that it should have more autonomy for the administration of the city than it has.
I’ve always liked this meme format, and this is one of the best uses of it I’ve seen.
ITT: people who don’t know what “cop” means
Edit: prosecutors are cops, judges are cops, spooks are cops, etc
