For more than half a century, the major party candidates for president have sat down with 60 Minutes. This year, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump accepted our invitation. Unfortunately, last week Trump canceled.

“I’m a cop” is such a weird/tone deaf way to make an argument.

It's a testament to how little the protests over rampant police violence in 2020 mattered that her proudly calling herself a cop isn't immediately disqualifying. That it was somehow a more effective weapon against her campaign in 2019 than in 2024 is actually a perfect example of the rightward turn Dems have made.

She didn't say she was a cop. Harris: "My background is in law enforcement". Law enforcement in the broader sense includes the courts. She was inspired to get a law degree in order to become prosecutor because her high school friend was sexually molested.

That was literally going to be my comment. Yeah, you own a gun. Whats your plan?

[aristobrit]

She carries a gun because she got so many death threats when she was a prosecutor in San Francisco. She prosecuted the most violent criminals, drug cartels and child trafficking gangs. Her life was constantly in danger.

She's been crystal clear about gun control and wants a new assault weapons ban. She was the most progressive Attorney General California has ever had, creating all kinds of safety nets for families and programs that benefited real people, not cops.

whoah, really? damn, this woman has nerves of steel

[aristobrit]

She really does. People have no idea.

[artsyfartsy01]

cool! I still disagree with her on a bunch of things but she seems capable and smart, which is by FAR the better option than the orange buffoon. hope you guys get her as president and then the voters can hopefully bully her into changing her stance on Palestine

[aristobrit]

Exactly.
