    here goes four more years down the shitter

    just because Trump is a felon does not mean we need a prosecutor

    has anyone here had to deal with a prosecutor firsthand before?

    people that take away rights and imprisons them in deplorable inhumane conditions should not be a leader

      lol what the fresh hell is this take. This has to be the first attempt at this weird rhetoric. Does that mean we need the felon?

      Actually yeah, I got a ticket for running a red light in a weird non-permanent construction detour thing. I hadn’t expected the light to be there since it was on a highway and was part of an unusual u-turn. The cop was sympathetic and told me to go to the court to fight it, and there the prosecutor dropped the charge. I have seen that same court successfully prosecute traffic tickets even without officer testimony, so I was quite pleased.

      Honestly even with how corrupt the justice system can be, I’m not sure you’re gonna find many people who have personally had bad experiences with a prosecutor, much less rational people who would choose someone convicted of 34 felonies over a prosecutor.

        I heard this in some particularly leftist areas of the internet back in 2020 when Biden tapped her for VP. It’s not good, that’s for sure.

        Some people even dug deep into her case record and found some really old cases they didn’t like. It’s just an attempt to keep the flames going against the DNC.

        Harris is probably going to be the best candidate the DNC has nominated since 2008. I am personally thrilled.

          Clinton and Biden aren’t exactly a high bar to clear.

            Right, that’s what I’m sayin’. It’s a big year for me; I was a Republican back in 2008 and 2012 (because I was young and stupid and in a red state), so this is the first time I’ll have a Democratic presidential candidate to vote for that I’m actually excited about.

                Same. I’ve kept the Christian and ditched the conservative; but honestly I think running headfirst into what basically amounts to socialism aligned me more closely with Biblical values than I ever was as a Republican.

                It’s been a whirlwind-y decade.

      Better work harder man, otherwise Putin will send you to the front lines. I’m sure you and your fellow trolls have been working overtime to spin this news negatively. 🌻🌻🌻

      Imagine if they did the same thing and promoted Vance to their nominee. The incumbent VP and respected district attorney vs a right-wing project 2025 nutjob who was only chosen because he was younger than 80.
