As a sitting senator, has she signed on as a cosponsor for Medicare for all? She says she supports it, does her record reflect that?

What has she done as a senator that makes you believe she is genuine about the things she's claiming to support now?
Kamala D. Harris

She has cosponsered numerous M4A legislation with Sanders and others.

She has cosponsored Bernie’s Medicare for All bill in the Senate.

Thank you and @Call Me James for the info. I don't trust politicians in general and I'm not always as informed as I probably should be, so I had to ask because a lot of politicians are jumping on the bandwagon after Bernie made certain ideas popular.

A black Howard graduate who relished locking nikkas up by any means necessary.

Did you read the NYT article on her record As DA and AG?

My cousin is a public defender and he told me he has to deal with these types of black women everyday. They don’t care about the community. All they care about is their conviction rate and climbing the career ladder. He told me has more disdain for these types than the racist white prosecutors he has to fight everyday.

Broken Windows ...

@mastermind this is why Alsobrooks ran for PG County Executive and why there's rumblings she's running for Gov in 2022 :wow:

The question isn't what they run on it's what they are really about. It's easy to jump on board with an idea once it's popular but do you believe in those ideas enough to fight for them when powerful people push back against them. Are you willing to tax those powerful people to pay for those ideas. So far the only thing she's mentioned about taxes is cutting them for the middle class. That sounds good but if you leave the cuts for the rich in place then where is the revenue for your ideas coming from?

I'm not a fan of her middle class tax cut design because it encourages people to take on low paying jobs to qualify for it (like middleclass tax cut in theory but the model matters). But that's just a personal quirk. I also don't know how much I really trust her to hold banks or wall street accountable, I'm not impressed at all by her record on that topic as AG and she's already been in contact with Wall Street donors (Gillebrand, Brown and Booker were also named and this is pretty light but past red flags plus this sort of thing makes me skeptical). Her real problem for me is the AG position in Cali and what she did in terms of criminal justice. I'm not about to go all Nap and try to inundate this thread with negativity via tweets and multiple articles. Just in terms of where skepticism towards her begins, those are the places to look. I do think she caught the winds changing and jumped on quickly (which might mean she was just doing what she felt she had to do prior) and I like that she's had strong performances on committees. I wouldn't be stressed about her on a debate stage with Trump. Of the more center-left candidates, she's solid for sure. But there are others I'd have more faith in passing legislation that's in my lane.

The Arsenal

comments like his are why the kamala harrises of the world are the way they are (scumbags).. he's talking about her potentially being attacked as soft on crime. and something like that hasn't crossed our minds about her. this bish brags about her big badge.

that's why there will never be any real criminal justice reform in this country. who is going to take a risk when it can come back on them. no one has ever lost an election because they were too tough on crime.

Give me some information on her record contradicting her statements. I'm looking for all info. I asked a question and he came with receipts. If you have receipts showing something different I'm open to hearing from you.

I have read through the thread and I know her record as a prosecutor doesn't line up with her statements on criminal justice reform. Are there more contradictions that you can point out?

If you complained that democrats didn't listen to the people and run on popular policy ideas in 2016, you can't complain that candidates are now running on popular proposals.

Shes a California dem, you should expect her to favor liberal policies. :ehh:

she's gonna pivot like Gillum did in Florida

try and win the primary using progressivism and then become centrist in the general

good thing is she ain't winning because the energy around her campaign is all fukked up. Her communications manager, Lilly, is failing miserably

When you say she's corrupt are you referring to the campaign contributions she received from Steve Mnuchin after declining to prosecute him, her getting a job due to her affair or something else that I missed?

here's one.

she now claims that she's against the death penalty, but in 2015 she was vehemently for it:

Why does Kamala Harris defend the death penalty?
