@unca_fa It may surprise you to learn, though I hope not, that I am, with rare exception, not opposed whatsoever to disagreement so long as it opens dialogue in good faith. My support for Harris is solidarity based, given the road ahead of her. I also read her record differently.
@unca_fa I think Harris is a good example of a woman who wants to create meaningful change and took the roles that put her on the path to access. She performed them in accordance with expectations, with notable exceptions, because that is necessary to travel that path successfully.
@unca_fa I have read perspectives of her performance as a DA and AG that are in line with yours, and I have also read about numerous examples that contradict that construction. I have found those more persuasive, though I dont expect to agree with every choice she has made or will make.
@unca_fa I saw an interview where she detailed some of the policy choices and/or outcomes she regretted, and would do differently if she could. I made the choice to believe her, because I didn't feel I had a good reason not to, and I want to support her. Thus, I do.
@unca_fa One meaningful change that I think would make these situations easier for all of us to navigate is any real access to accountability from our representatives in government. Warren has strong suggestions there, which was in part why she was my first pick for the nomination.
@unca_fa As with challenges large and small, I am approaching this administration with the goal of working for the best outcome possible, rather than the goal of exactly what I wish the outcome was, because its not about just me, and there is good to be had and done.
