The Kamala Harris campaign is using memes and celebrities to present her as a fun-loving progressive candidate. In reality, she represented the ugly face of the US' brutal and corrupt justice system as prosecutor. As Vice President, she has been an apologist for genocide, war, and anti-migrant policies.

Neat, and Donald Trump is a felon

That’s the ratchet of a bipartisan system working as expected. Once one of the parties goes crazy bad, the other only needs to be bad. That’s why voting is only the beginning. You vote for the best option, hit the streets and protest.

Oh neat, the Don'tVote crowd finally got done researching Kamala for their agitprop, coolcool.

Overall, she's still not a perfect candidate - still miles better than Biden for just being younger and more coherent. There actually feels like a chance now that Dems can actually get an election win now.

Still - don't forget your local elections and movements, that you can actually have a significant effect on.

Not even the worst of it, but still better than Trump.

The worst Harris has to offer:

The worst Trump has to offer in terms of law enforcement is actually a 2-parter:
