...this is almost exactly what I explained to one or more posters here.

Almost all of the criticism of Kamala Harris' record comes from, or is leveraged off of the one, misleading article published by Bazelon.

If she had measured the net effectiveness of the AG's office, instead of blaming Kamala Harris for so many things she didn't directly control, or even have knowledge of at the time, it would not have been such an off-target smear.

Good piece. K&R.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
