She didn’t send people to prison. The judges did that. She just successfully argued that they should do it. What you posted was not true.
when a da runs for reelection, they do it on their conviction record. you’re splitting hairs
No, you are. A person who’s job it is to convince judges to put people in jail runs on their record of convincing the judges to do so is … unsurprising.

No, you do. It is an adversarial system. Prosecuting attorneys… prosecute. Defense attorneys… defend. It is the jury that decides factual guilt or lack thereof, and the judges who sentence. ALL of these roles put the furtherance of justice as their #1 priority, or should at least.
If you want to argue she is responsible for some sort of prosecutorial misconduct, I will listen. To say she put people in prison without a guilty verdict and judge’s sentence gives her authority she doesn’t and shouldn’t have and to argue otherwise is a “fundamental misunderstanding of the legal system”.

You know you’ve lost the argument when you need to resort to insults. What’s it like losing to a ‘child’ at your age?
Edit: oh, and here’s something that might cause your head to explode so read with caution.

You forget that she has survived many primaries in the past, to get elected as DA in the first place, and then to get elected as senator. The problem as I see it is that there was no primary for her to run in in the first place; it’s entirely possible that, had there been a primary, she still would have been chosen. (I for one am very fucking glad that Gavin Newsom didn’t end up being the nominee.)
As far as the election went, the biggest problem that Harris had was the perception of the economy that people had under Biden, and the fact that she was a VP that couldn’t throw Biden under the bus. You can talk about the genocide in Gaza, but the fact is that there are very, very few Dems that could have run competitively that aren’t also staunch supporters of Israel, right or wrong (and Israel is most definitely wrong here). Harris also had a problem with immigration; a majority (53%) of the US approves of how Trump is handling immigration. source 1, source 2.

Would you care to place a wager on that?

Done.
She may never run for president again–or senate–but her days in politics are far from over.
this is splitting hairs
