Kamala Harris withheld exculpatory evidence from an innocent person. The judge reprimanded her.

Now she's promoted and voted into the second highest office in the country. Government is around so that we can fail upwards.

Thank god she gets to live the American dream. In other countries such prosecutorial abuse would land you in jail.

There is a whole list of abusive prosecutors who got political success ranging from Eliot Spitzer, Rudolph Giuliani and now Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris got her political cachet by fixing California's voting system. It is, today, quite difficult for a crooked elections official to produce a fraudulent election result in California. That was not the case before Harris, when California was all-in on wholly electronic voting, with deeply unreliable voting machines.

Unfortunately, Alabama and Louisiana bought the surplus machines. We may hope they have since been retired.

The voters voted for her. We should ask the majority of the voters I suppose. These were known about her even when she got voted in as California senator. Clearly majority of Californians agree with innocents (mainly Blacks) being jailed.

Or NYers with Eliot Spitzer or Rudolph Giuliani.

I don't really think many people vote "for" the VP. She was along for the ride on the Biden presidential ticket. It would be interesting to have the VP elected separately from the president. You could even end up like some states where the Governor and Lt. Governor are from different parties.

We had that at the beginning of the country. It didn't last long.

I wonder if it's because moral people avoid dealing with such evil, which helps nothing in the grand scheme.

The media is part of that evil racket. Just see how they lionized Colin Powell, a man deeply involved in genocides and massacres and war crimes. His career got its push from him helping cover up the My Lai massacre and then advocating every Vietnamese boy be shot as they could turn into a Viet Cong soldier.

Seems like we've normalized celebrating terrible people of all historically marginalized backgrounds coming to power. A powerful elite of rich sociopaths, but hey, they're multiracial and there's even some WOC! Progress!
