Comment on Why hasn't Kamala Harris's record of keeping nonviolent offenders in prison, despite SCOTUS ruling, while California AG been brought up much this election?

The reasons that nobody is mentioning it are most likely: (and this is coming from a random guy with no inside info)

Obviously, it’s not something the Harris campaign would like to draw attention to.
Trump’s already focused in on how she’s supposedly “keeping millions of immigrants and criminals on the streets”. To push a story that says the exact opposite does not prove the claim he’s trying to sell.

That and it was over a decade ago.

Like, Kamala is by no means perfect. But she’s a hell of a lot better than Biden, obviously better than trump, and literally the only option at this point.

If you want to try and pull her to the left on prison reform, then that could be a good use of time and effort. But complaining about something from over a decade ago doesn’t help anything.

That’s all i can gather. I just wanted to know why there hasn’t been much conversation about it. Yes, it was over a decade ago, but it seems to be something about her that i really don’t like.

  I don’t really like anyone. To be clear, I don’t mean in this election, I mean on this planet.
  
  But I don’t like racists, felons and rapists more.
