Can Kamala Harris bring out the vote?

Don't know. Can you make posts that get likes from more than Trumpers?

And lest you accuse me (because you accuse easily) me of being concerned about a polularity contest, I'm not. Likes show support for you policies and issues. The only people who support yours are two hopelessly gullible and narcissistic members of the "far left" (chortle) and a handful of Trumpers who appreciate the gifts you give them.

I'm not taking a stand about Harris the presidential candidate, I'm just asking what has she done? So, let's just go back to what you said and let's take a look at it.

First look at the date on the SF financial stuff. That was 2008. She was DA for the City of San Francisco, not the AG for State of CA at that time. What the article said was:

District Attorney Kamala Harris, who opened an investigation and promised to "get to the bottom" of what happened, said through a spokeswoman late Thursday that the consultant had been "hired by, and worked for and at the direction of the (city) controller, not the district attorney."

She was acting in her role of DA to determine if any criminal mischief had occurred. She wasn't in charge of running the city or even connected with the department that applied for those grants. She was the District Attorney.

As far as Harborside is concerned, federal prosecutors went after them, not the State of CA. Somebody is going to have to explain what legal position the State AG has is such a situation. But she didn't bring the charges and I'd totally agree that Obama could have done more to rein in on his Feds when it came to MJ enforcement. I doubt that she was unaware of the Federal DEA's attack on Harborside, I'm just wondering why she would be castigated for what the Feds did.

Here is a description of the role of CA's AG:

The Attorney General of California is the chief law officer of California and the state's primary legal counsel. The attorney general "[sees] that the laws of the State are uniformly and adequately enforced" and prosecutes violations of state law through the California Department of Justice, which he or she oversees.[1]

The officeholder also represents state agencies and officers in legal matters and provides legal advice on request. Further, the attorney general plays a direct role in law enforcement efforts and "coordinates statewide narcotics enforcement efforts, participates in criminal investigations and provides forensic science services, identification and information services and telecommunication support."[1]

Additionally, attorneys general play a prominent policymaking role by "[establishing] and [operating] projects and programs to protect Californians from fraudulent, unfair, and illegal activities that victimize consumers or threaten public safety."[1]

Right? Because goodness knows his positions are popular with Americans across the aisle and across the country.

But why talk about that when you can make irrelevant personal attacks?

The Democratic primary in the Bronx was full of voter suppression; thousands of Democrats were unable to vote in the last presidential election. That's voter suppression.

Your argument is nothing more than a weak attempt at distraction.

That's because you don't have an argument.

They couldn't vote because they weren't Democrats.

OK, so you explain why a District Attorney is responsible for the SF City's controller's actions. Isn't that the Mayor's role?

Also explain how the State Attorney General's office has control over what the Federal DEA was doing at Haborside.

There were a lot of people driving on bald tires at that time. So blame Harris for that too.

I don't have a dog in this fight other than we should smear her with facts instead of made up shit.

A deeper dive into what went on when she negotiated settlements with banks and did not press charges on Mnuchin is relevant, factual and pertinent to the primary.

I've said all along, I'm going to make up my mind after the debates are over. Other than Sanders. I'd only vote for him in the general if he won the Democratic primary.

You said you disagree with Harris because of her policies and haven't said what policies you disagree with.

Typical of your responses here; just two relevant words, then a long rambling paragraph of personal attacks and drivel.

Lightweight.

They were lifelong Democrats who were shocked to discover they're been purged from the rolls just in time to be unable to vote in the 2016 primary.

You have no grasp of the facts because you run your mouth instead of actually digging for the truth.

You're the worst kind of false intellectual; just like flat earthers, you decide your conclusions ahead of time and then only look for evidence that supports them. All else is discarded.

The stench of intellectual dishonesty oozes from nearly every one of your posts.

I don't disagree with Harris based on policy. I disagree with Harris based on trust.

I don't trust you to be honest because you're not
