You can't claim to care about black issues, have a record of horrible incarceration of poor black and brown families and then say a bunch of platitudes and expect to get taken seriously just because you look like me.
There is literally no one in America who did more to reduce incarceration of minorities and stand up against police unions than Kamala Harris during her time in SF and Sacramento. She was widely regarded as one of the most progressive voice on criminal justice reform in the nation, taking a ton of heat from the rest of the Democratic party for being too lenient on criminals and too harsh on police. Civil rights activists across the country used her and her reforms as an inspiration to improve their own communities.
The retconned narrative about Copmala and throwing parents in jail is ridiculous.
FWIW, I much prefer Bernie and eWarren, but that's because Kamala is still a centrist Democrat on economic and foreign policy issues.
