Vice President Kamala Harris gave the public its first real look into her nascent presidential campaign with a stop at her organizationā€™s headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday night.

Harrisā€™ first applause line came when she discussed her background as California attorney general and as a courtroom prosecutor.

ā€œIn those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds,ā€ she said, earning cackles while she beamed, clearly enjoying the joke. ā€œPredators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trumpā€™s type.ā€

    Her voting record in the Senate is actually super progressive. I donā€™t think thereā€™s much to worry about there.

      I donā€™t think thereā€™s much to worry about there.

      Despite that Iā€™ve spent most of my Lemmy time today defending my criticisms of Harris or Dems in general, I truly want you to be right, and I hope thatā€™s what weā€™ll see when she starts influencing policy as President. (Assuming she wins, and I have a good feeling she will unless something truly batshit happens between now and then.)
