Y'all I did NOT know this about Harris, and I think it's really critical that we all listen and understand as we approach this election. Video at the end.
This creator's video describes how progressive Harris was as a prosecutor -- actively going against the grain to the point she was accused of being soft on crime. Accused of being a social worker, not a prosecutor. She calls it being smart on crime. She's pushing for systemic changes to give real pathways to reintegrate incarcerated folks back into society and prevent their past from continuing to haunt them moving forward.
"Kamala's a cop" is a catchy dismissive response usually used to shut down conversation rather than add nuance. But this kind of reform is ESSENTIAL to work towards a present and future that treats incarcerated people with value.
I fell for it in 2020 and have thought "Kamala's a cop" without further inspection since - and I'm sobered by the realization that (you guessed it!) I'm not immune to propaganda.
A better system only follows liberal democracy, because library democracy allows for exploration of better systems. If authoritarianism takes hold, it will not allow for the exploration of better systems. We will have to fight tooth and nail just to try to get back to liberal democracy, and I suspect we could not achieve it in our lifetimes.
Harris isn't perfect. But she's a hell of a lot better than many leftists have led me to believe. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. Don't let perfection be the enemy of harm reduction.
We can either help elect Trump and usher in authoritarian fascism, or we can help defeat him and pull things back in the direction we want to go. Not liking the choices doesn't absolve you from participating and doing the most good you can with the options available.
I'll link the original video in the replies. The original video has captions if you need them.

even more cute dividers! >_< ☆
Anyway adults saying “I don’t know isn’t an answer” is part of the reason I learned to lie and bluff so well.
If you’re a self-proclaimed democrat or leftist who isn’t going to vote in the upcoming election, you’re massively fucking over trans people, and you don’t deserve to enjoy trans spaces, humor, or work. So get the hell off my blog.

Literally how. You could have used the argument (somewhat) with Joe Biden vs Trump or with other political candidates in the running, but Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are nowhere near the same.
Trump is not for women's rights. Don't even get me started on the whole "grab them by the p*ssy" thing. Or the way he talks about his female colleagues and family members.
Trump is not for combating climate change. He's just a friend to the wealthy bastards making money off fossil fuels. Nothing more.
Oh, and if you want to bring up the Palestinian genocide, don't bother. Trump is allllll for that too. You think he's not in Lockheed Martin's pockets? You're joking.
Kamala Harris as an amazing resume perfectly lined with protecting and advocating for human rights. She has publicly called for a ceasefire. She is a proponent for the Green New Deal for Christ's sake.
Don't you dare claim these two people are the same.

listen here, you outdated meme
the statues of apollo and athena, at the academy athens, in a full moon night.
Watching america's politics is a horror show but at least the memes are fun.
Gotta say though, a lot of young progressives look like they haven't learned anything since 2016.
"I'm not voting for the democrat, they're not good enough for me!" The communities whose rights are on the line will surely be comforted by your morals.
"What about Palestine?!" - Maybe worry about your own country becoming a fascist state first?
"But Harris was a cop! I heard she did Bad Things!" You heard right-wing bullshit disguised as left-wing bullshit and gobbled it. Self-defeating nonsense.
ETA: I'm from NZ and we recently did this 'teach them a lesson by not voting Labour because they're not good enough' strat and big shocker it didn't work. Everything's worse now.
