Not OP here and I’ll vote for her in the election 100% but the concerns I’ve seen raised most often are:
She was a cop and her history reflects the history of being a cop. Being a prosecutor means that you’re pressuring innocent people into jail time plea deals and using cops to back up your arguments all the time. She’s the epitome of back the blue.
That makes her a great choice against the “Law and Order” fascist felon at least.
… but the concerns I’ve seen raised most often are:
Concern, singular. It’s the same issue over and over again, and especially in Harris’ case… I mean both Clintons were once opposed to gay marriage, which is a real deal breaker for me. I didn’t hold that one single issue against Hillary, I looked at the totality of her neo-liberal/con background before deciding I couldn’t support her.
And… Joe Biden and just about every other congress critter has a terrible history of police support too. You know what? That’s the price they pay for getting votes. I don’t agree with it, I think it stinks as much as pigs in general, but it’s a price I’m willing to accept to get everything else and not get a Republican administration.
I’m looking for reasons that make Harris unelectable. TBH, her background throwing people in jail for minor drug offenses ups her appeal with a lot of voters.
