*If* things turn out this way, I'm deriving a little bit of comfort from the prospect of a "prosecutor vs felon" framing of the two presidential candidates.
Yes, Harris is a cop, and yes, that was one of my reasons for ranking her near the bottom of my list in 2020 (as Biden's age was for him), but
“cop” on her biography might not help much but i think a prosecutor’s instincts might go a long way against this particular opponent
personally i don’t want biden replaced but they should put her out front to make the campaign’s case
I don’t know what to do about Biden, but I have been convinced that if he does step down, he has to be replaced by Harris. Obviously, Harris’ primary didn’t go great, but as you point out, she has a lot of skills that could make her effective.
Was she a cop? I don't think cops and DAs are the same at all. For a lot of DAs it's just another lawyer gig they do for a while. Lots of my former students started out at the DAs office to get experience and then switched to defense work.
"a cop" in the derogatory internet discourse sense, not actually. (But she seems was a prosecutor for 20 years; she did not seem to view the job the way you're describing.)
