There is no way out of this black hole.
Buttieg is not gay enough, Harris is not black enough. The only thing that would make the notional idiot democrat happy is a soylent of a candidate. All the diversity nutrients in the tastelessly right proportions.

Agreed with the caveat that Kamala Harris actually has a track record of fucking awful authoritarian policies that truly do hurt people by and large along certain racial lines

Seems to be largely a function of the job of DA. Most of that can be attributed to systemic failings of the justice system rather than her personally I think.

She deliberately expended her political capital on that truancy stuff. Also even if you're DA, it takes a certain amount of chutzpah to demands that prisons stay overcrowded and use prison labor as an argument for why.

Yes — it’s actually possible to be a progressive DA, even one who expends political capital on reducing the prison population. Larry Krasner, for example.

Are there indications it’s more than simple lack of imagination and courage to buck the system rather than active malice/cynical careeerism/sociopathy?
If she's to be believed by her own words then she deliberately put her own ass on the line to pass that truancy bill. Regardless, I'm not exactly inspired by a politician who isn't actually a tyrant but merely a craven bureaucrat.
