In her own psychotic laughs at jailing black people to the Republican Commonwealth Club she always pandered to. She was the only political candidate in California to oppose marijuana legalization, even her Republican opponent supported legalization, and she sent thousands of people to prison for smoking marijuana. Then she goes on Charlemagne the King and laughs about how she was smoking marijuana while she did it !! Those who own America decided 2 years ago that Kamala was to be president and they have been pushing her out in newer and newer models and she gets rejected by voters, especially younger black voters, over and over. A team of her and the man who passed the Biden Crime Bill putting 1 million Black men in prison for life is not going to get over-turnout of Blacks. She is geared to the New Democratic Party-----Suburban Elite White Republican Women who like the idea of a Indian/Jewish/Mulatto Woman President, but prefer their black men in jail.

caeron Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 What is the point of caring what young people think until they fucking get off their lazy asses and fucking vote? Biden/Harris will become as progressive as they are made to be. Neither of them is responsible for the current shit show that has killed more Americans than WWI and Vietnam combined.

Indian Americans are wealthier than Americans in general, according to Census Bureau data compiled by AAPI Data. Their median annual household income was about $139,000 in 2018, more than double the nationwide median. About half the 1.8 million U.S. foreign work visas issued between 2001 and 2015 went to Indians. Edited August 15, 2020 by tassojunior Quote

And despite Trump's bragging, it is very difficult to rig the Electoral College. So much for voters getting what they deserve. Quote

You like to change the parameters rather than admit defeat. You said ONE MILLION Black men were sent to prison for life. Yet there are only a half million Black prisoners in all state and federal prisons, and the bulk of that includes those sentenced for much shorter terms. On the pot smoking, you now cite stats that include other offenses such as possession, cultivation and sale, the latter two frowned upon more severely. AND you have broadened it to include the WHOLE state! Yet pot smokers going to jail specifically? YOU DON"T KNOW. I lived in SF. It was widely known that smoking in itself did not go anywhere even if cited. Don't forget. A DA is obligated to enforce the law. Discretion can be used, but a DA can't simply ignore the law.

Tell that to Kamala who as CA AG stepped in and stopped the prosecution her political-donor Republican Steve Mnuchin for illegally foreclosing on a million Californians and taking their homes. That discretion didn't extend to a black man on death row she knew was innocent. She fought to withhold the evidence. Quote
