I have not made a commitment to any candidates who might be running for President, but have told several of them that I will be waiting to see who all announces, what they say they stand for, who they hire to run their campaigns before I make my decision.
I'll be frank and tell you two Democrats that I am 99% sure I won't be supporting - primarily because of their dismal history on criminal justice reform over the course of their entire careers. Joe Biden & Kamala Harris. They both helped build & advance mass incarceration.
Just 4 years ago to this very day, a federal judge had to ORDER California Attorney General Kamala Harris to release more non-violent offenders from prison, but she fought it hard because "prisons would lose an important labor pool." That's a quote.http://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-ff-federal-judges-order-state-to-release-more-prisoners-20141114-story.html …
I like Joe Biden. I like his toothy grin. I think his friendship with Obama is cute. I think he's relatable. But to see him this week proudly give George W. Bush a humanitarian award stemming from the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan deeply disturbed me. Those wars are criminal.
I won't be endorsing any candidates for President that recently took happy photos with Benjamin Netanyahu or have refused to speak out against the hundreds of unarmed Palestinians who've been slaughtered by Israel this year. I don't have many dealbreakers. That's one for me.
I have a list of 8 people that I would consider not only endorsing for President, but would stop everything and throw my whole life into helping them get elected. But even for those 8, I'm going to evaluate their platforms, their senior staff hires, and their actual history.
I like Beto a lot and hope that he either runs for Senate in Texas again, since the other seat is about to open up, or runs for President. I think he's qualified to do both. But I also feel just as strongly about Andrew Gillum & Stacey Abrams. I'd seriously consider all 3.
If Democrats think they are going to run another all-white presidential ticket this time around, that's not gonna fly.
Same here.
Although I agree with all that you’ve said, I’m voting for whoever is put forward as the Democratic runner. We have a lot of weeding to do before that selection is made but I believe we must stick together or deal with further consequences.
Thank you for not succumbing to identity politics and supporting Kamala because she's a "strong black woman" or Biden who is best pals with Obama. We have to start teaching our party that it policy before anything.
Isn’t Kamala Harris for prison reform now? Or at least the to reform the bail system? When and why the switch? Is it the okey-doke?
It's not a binary option. She previously passed a sentencing reform in San Francisco where people charged with low-level, nonviolent felonies were given the opportunity to avoid jail or prison.http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-oew-harris26-2009jun26-story.html …
its possible you just helped their candidacy.
If either one is the the Democrat candidate, a Trump ticket "wins" again.
Great! This is the kind of crap that's going to give Trump a second term in 2020.
I want Elizabeth Warren.
Love her, but don’t think she’s in a strong enough position. She missed every opportunity to gain any real momentum. In fact, think she lost it instead.
So you’re still considering charter school I never saw a neoliberal policy I didn’t like Corey Booker And Sanders abysmal criminal justice record didn’t still doesn’t bother you but Kamala Harris is disqualified?
