Yes, he’s a felon and that is funny, but this law and order rhetoric was never going to excite the Democratic base to vote for her. It flopped in 2020 and it will flop again. Democrats don’t want to vote for a cop.
Hopefully it’s not the focus of the campaign and she focuses on the issues instead.
I think your’s is a valid take, but it’s one of her strengths and she has to play to it. The situation is also different this time: her base does think Trump is a crook who deserves to pay for his crimes, and he seems to be getting away with a lot of them.
In 2020, it was law and order, and assumed to be against The People. This time, she can focus her prosecutorial skills against an accepted villain. Sure, she won’t win points with Trump’s base, but nothing she can do will change that.
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.

I think, this time, it’s a good strategy.
How did it flop in 2020?

It just did. I wouldn’t even vote if I were you, fellow American.
