Real progressives don't do Trump's bidding for him. One would think they'd learned that after 2016.

Is it really that hard to believe there are people like these cranks out there? I think we’ve all encountered people exactly like that here and in our real lives.

The old throw away the book lock em up mentality.

Problem is the dumbasses didn’t think about what it would cost to house and supervise all those people for decades. Now we are paying the price.

It was intended to remove repeat offenders, typically for violent felonies, from society for longer periods of time. Who'd have known that in a country where the laws have been systemically set up to favor wealthier White people, that the laws would be used to go after minorities right?

I was against it when it was first voted in. I lived in CA at the time and voted against it.

Arbitrary sentencing mandates like that do nothing buy support the Private Prison Industry.

Kamala Harris is being sabotaged already by the Repubs and weaker minded friends of the Dems. Expect the other stronger Dems to be attacked as well.

Strike three law. Should've said "suedo-progressive" because liberals are the enemy for the anti-Democrats. Important to get the language right.

... forum I've been on where they do and say some of the dumbest shit about her.

It looks like the goal now is to Target her support in neighborhoods and communities of color.

But right now they can't pull people of color to do such because she is not as well-known and after people know her there is a disconnect in the image the Russians are trying to display

It will soon be

Harris is establishment
Harris is corrupt
Harris is in the pocket of Wall Street
Harris is weak
Harris is not healthy
Harris is not a liberal

Don't look at her, her education, her competence, her accomplishments and her core liberal values ... ONLY look at the savior messiah who is oh so pure.
