This has always irked me a lot about her. Harris not only handled truancy by...prosecuting the parents of the kids skipping school, something that should be unconstitutional, she actually boasted about it and campaigned on it. So proud of family separation, and massive fines on already struggling families and then locking up parents who couldn't afford them. Its not only disgusting, its something she bragged about!

This isn't liberal or conservative. More like general nanny statism.

Harris has an unpleasant authoritarian streak that comes with being a lifelong prosecutor. It'll be completely glossed over by the media as she reinvents herself as the "woke choice".

How she explains this, the "cheap labor" statement, Mnuchin, and her stances against marijuana legalization as California's AG will be interesting.

This is the stuff that gives me pause, even though I'm inclined to support her.

Democratic-voting demographics tend to like policies like this. People with graduate school degrees tend to be fearful of those less educated than themselves and people who work in the school system tend to want to make schools as powerful as possible.

Wait, you mean a politician who basically has spent the last eight years campaigning for 2020 merely because "I have a vagina and I'm ethnically exotic" is terrible on policy too? Shocking!'

Edit: Proposed Harris campaign song.

That is disturbing.

I fail to see how many in the Democratic party tout her as one of the strongest candidates. I think she might do worse than Warren against Trump

LOL in your dreams.

What she did sucks but she's still a strong candidate and she has my full support.

Another reason I’m not voting for her. Something tells me she’ll come across as very unlikable.

Trump would have a field day with Harris if she becomes the nominee. Could you imagine Harris having a debate with Trump? Trump would literally mop the floor with her.

I think she will end up being more unpopular than Clinton.

Wait till she starts racking up the delegates in the primary. Many people underestimate the love many Dems have for Harris, specially WOC.

Is there any evidence of this? At all?

Not that what Harris did doesn't suck ass, but you gotta love those "progressive" purists who consider this worse than being an anti-gay religious bigot and genocide apologist.

Members of the resistance movement are excited by her potential presidency.

True, she really is how Trump gets a second term even with idiocy like this government shutdown.

Forgive my ignorance from across the pond, is truancy illegal for parents in the US and what are the usual consequences in most states?

Here in the UK it is and the most likely consequence is a fine, but you can be prosecuted and go to prison for three months if you don't pay or are a repeat offender.
