1 ySure!
Kamala Harris has achieved numerous significant accomplishments throughout her political career:
As District Attorney of San Francisco (2004-2011), Harris established a program to give first-time drug offenders the chance to earn a high school diploma and find employment, which became a national model.
As California Attorney General (2011-2017), she won a $20 billion settlement for Californians whose homes had been foreclosed on and a $1.1 billion settlement for students and veterans taken advantage of by a for-profit education company. She also defended the Affordable Care Act in court.
In the U. S. Senate (2017-2021), Harris championed legislation to fight hunger, provide rent relief, improve maternal healthcare, expand access to capital for small businesses, and combat climate change. She questioned two Supreme Court nominees while on the Judiciary Committee.
As Vice President (2021-present), Harris has led efforts to protect voting rights, women's reproductive freedoms, and gun safety. She set a new record for most tie-breaking votes cast by a Vice President, including the decisive vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act. Harris also presided over the confirmation of the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.
In SF as DA:
Harris initiated an anti-truancy program in 2008 that threatened to prosecute parents whose children chronically missed school. This was controversial, as it could potentially lead to jail time for parents.
She declined to pursue the death penalty for a gang member who shot a San Francisco police officer, showing her opposition to capital punishment as DA.
Harris advocated for youth diversion initiatives and bias training for law enforcement.
She positioned herself as a "get-it-done" progressive, focusing on bringing law and order to the streets while emphasizing personal responsibility.
Under her tenure, property crime in San Francisco decreased from 39,384 reported crimes in 2003 to 33,200 in 2010.
Harris pushed for programs that helped people find jobs instead of putting them in prison, reflecting her "smart on crime" approach.
But wait! there's more!!!
As CA AG:
California Homeowner Bill of Rights:
Harris championed this legislation, which provided homeowners with protections against unfair foreclosure practices
Criminal Justice Reforms: She launched initiatives to reduce recidivism, including programs focused on implicit bias training for law enforcement and a statewide body camera program
Environmental Initiatives: Harris defended California's environmental laws, including the state's cap-and-trade program and Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and reached settlements with major oil companies over violations of state laws
Death Penalty: Although personally opposed to the death penalty, she defended its constitutionality in court, arguing for its legal review.

Like most people that are hired according to race, sexual orientation or religion she is not the most qualified for the position. The Biden administration is known as the most diverse administration in history. Also the most incompetent administration in history.
She has done nothing in the whole time she has been VP. She had to hire a fake audience made up , of kid actors to show her reading to a bunch of kids. Her whole tenure as VP had been a joke.

”She put over 15 hundred people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana”
”she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so”
”she kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California”
”she fought to keep cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way”
just watch at all the articles about Kamala with the “UPDATED” date to July 2024 after she’s been placed as bidens replacement.
More propaganda for the democratic consumer to swallow.
They filter all their information and then update anything that will make you see the truth, to instead feed you fake fact checks and updated articles that make cackling nincompoops like Kamala Harris seem like ”level headed” when in fact she’s very incoherent.

Her word salads show that she isn't using cue cards like Comatose Joe, her putative boss.

Why should someone ask if she's visited the border? why not ask if she's been to Europe?

1 yIf I remember correctly, she remembered how to vote in the Senate and break a tie. Which, by the way, is her only power as VP defined in the Constitution.

No, because Trump accomplished things. Kamala has not.

Thank you for proving your bias. Basically you would not acknowledge any accomplishment a Democrat has made but will promote what a Republican has done.
We are still allowed to acknowledge things in politics even if we support one side or the other right? - 1 y
You have zero accomplishments to show for Kamala.

We can still acknowledge accomplishments even if they are from a Democrat. Right?

I can acknowledge that democrats pass laws. But again, list of her accomplishments. I'm waiting. You're just flapping your fingers on the keyboard.

Those aren't accomplishments.

My guess is anything I suggest as accomplishments you will deny.
Could you please list President Obamas accomplishments? - 1 y
Sure. Obama created the biggest disaster for US healthcare and created the current racial divide in this country thanks to his communist leanings. He stole tax dollars to bail out irresponsible corporations.
