General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I would like to see Kamala Harris run in 2020. [View all]Not at all. But we shouldn't elect her to public office.
This is why nothing is ever going to change, although we have so many people raving about how they want change. What they really want is comfort, and to be able to say, "I'm a progressive!" at their next cocktail party, right before they start gloating about how well their portfolio is doing.
Now, go ahead, take your best shot at making it about race or gender. Forget the 4th Amendment. I love to hear all about how we should vote for, "the most progressive candidate available".
It's those compromises with the devil that will maintain the status quo.
Anyone who would vote for a candidate who supports asset seizure should go re-register with their real party. Heck, they've got the House, the Senate, and the Oval Office! You'll be a winner! But expect more of the same for a long time to come. If you're happy with asset seizure, you should be happy with the political landscape for a long time to come. I don't see any significant change coming for a very long time.
The sad thing is, I shouldn't even have to explain to anyone why supporting someone who would trample on our most fundamental, unalienable rights is a bad idea.
