PS not personally calling you a Sheep Mic
The people thinks masks and the virus is fake news .
When you look at Harris past in California politics ...the states been run by Republicans (Reagan,Swarsniggezr) people Hear California...liberals AH! No . Obama was against gay marriage ..then changed Mind ,hypocrite or in lightened
(Harris over seen first gay marriage in California as attorney general .Where Pence As governor made women who wished for abortion had to have rectal probe X-ray before ...just because giving up your fetus is not hard enough and the way he handled guns ,aids ......the reading on that fuck Truth stranger then fiction
I pride myself on reading press from both sides of the political spectrum. Precisely so I don’t end up forming opinions around other peoples political agendas.
I’ve read Harris’s biography on Wikipedia, and done a bit of reading about her from both sides of the media coin. There are a lot of things she’s done that I agree with and a lot of what she’s fought for that is difficult to argue with, but I think Biden had far better candidates to chose from.
The one rather relevant story I see about Harris printed in publications on both sides of the political sphere is that as a prosecutor she locked up literally thousands of cannabis users Then laughed about her admittance to smoking it herself. She lost me right there. Like I said she’s a hypocrite.
I would be delighted to read some evidence to the contrary of that story in order that I might change my mind about what otherwise seems like a pretty reasonable woman. I understand that her current public stance on the subject of legalisation is more favourable, but I haven’t seen much in the way of an apology to the people that she incarcerated. so I think I can be forgiven for having some reservations and being sceptical about her motives.
Regards the political situation here, yes the Conservative party has made some terrible decisions during their time in office, but it also made some ‘good’ and a few surprising ones too - for example closing some of the loopholes that limited companies paying themselves in dividends use to dodge tax here in the UK. I know this because I now pay nearly a third more tax (that’s not a complaint by the way just an observation) than I did under the last Labour government who had opened up those loopholes to a level that even the most hardened capitalists were surprised by.
Right before they led us into what most people consider an illegal war in which hundreds of thousands of people died and then de-regulated the banks causing the major financial collapse that allowed the Tories to win an election and are still trying to dig us out of.
So while there may be some truth in your appraisal of the political situation here, as is always the case, the genuine truth always lies somewhere in the middle.
yay, go Democrats!
% the case, be rest assured. Having said that:
