I'm sure that when she apoligizes for that you will just find something else to insist she apologize for since changing apparently isn't enough.

But what has she actually done to show any change? Lives are still ruined, they're still being ruined every day. She hasn't apologized, she hasn't undone any harm, she hasn't made progress on reparations to the communities she's hurt. All she's done is say "I changed" without actually changing anything.

We don't need to find anything else to insist she apologize for, she literally hasn't apologized for anything. We're asking her to take the first step and you're mad that we would ask her to take a second.

As a senator, Harris championed marijuana decriminalization and eventually legalization. She signed Senator Cory Booker’s marijuana legalization bill in 2017, and she also introduced her own bill to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level.

Is trying a first step, or does it require succeeding?

Does that not count because it is attempting to prevent future convictions instead of magically overturning the convictions from when she was a prosecutor?

You're probably correct. Until capitalism and all unjust hierarchies are abolished, anarchists will always have criticisms for those in power.

I'm not sure who coined the phrase, and I'm probably paraphrasing pretty heavily here, but - Anarchism is a process, not a goal.

Complaints about moving the goalposts aren't really a valid criticism of anarchism in my mind. The goalpost is still seemingly impossibly far away. We're just trying to hit some checkpoints along the way.

I just wanna be treated like a human being. If you like to have an arrogant bully manipulating you as she pleases then enjoy that fucked up relationship. Just remember, being raised without ever hearing an apologize doesn't mean u don't deserve it.

Vote if u please, but don't call that thing a human being.

I'm sorry, are you calling Kamala Harris a thing?
