      Honest answer: her rhetoric in 2020 did not match her past. Most notably, when she decided to run, she suddenly started supporting marijuana legalization. Previously, as attorney general in California, she allowed prosecution of marijuana offenses (which many attorneys general in Blue states choose NOT to do). She voiced opposition to recreational legalization. This is where her being about “law and order” were shoved back in her face in 2020, as these drug offenses have always and still do target POC (not because of her, but because of racist police)

      She’s said that her thoughts have “evolved”, but that never works for me. When we have so many people who have always been on the right side of history, why do we keep getting candidates who need to learn to be better

      edit: obligatory vote for her! She’s leaps and bounds the superior candidate. Better than Biden, better than Hilary - best we’ve had in a while (that DNC is willing to support)

        Fellow American, I will be writing in Jon Stewart. It will send a message or something.

        Edit: Fellow American, I can’t tell if someone’s sarcasm detector is faulty or if people who actually say shit like this are downvoting you for making fun of them.

      Police brutality is a pretty big deal among Democrats, especially in 2020, and her history was a drag on her campaign. It’s part of why she dropped out earlier than everyone else.
