As California attorney general, she spent years subverting a 2011 Supreme Court ruling requiring the state to reduce its prison population. The overseeing judicial panel nearly found the state in contempt of court.

Not asking a political question. I would like to know all sides of this. It really seems to be a red flag under normal situations, but i haven’t heard it brought up very much.

I’ve just recently read this article with the full details, but i had to look for that on my own.

Again, not political. I’ve already cast my vote and just waiting for the outcome.

    That and it was over a decade ago.

    Like, Kamala is by no means perfect. But she’s a hell of a lot better than Biden, obviously better than trump, and literally the only option at this point.

    If you want to try and pull her to the left on prison reform, then that could be a good use of time and effort. But complaining about something from over a decade ago doesn’t help anything.
