She has some criticisms for her past as an attorney, but I’m not sure why she’s so disliked now. What has she done to engender such distaste from the public?

She has a great track record, both personally and professionally, if you had any interest in investigating it. Yes, even on cop stuff and leftist stuff — the details of which (including a lot of great social justice stuff, like trying to pass Federal laws against lynching and banning choke holds, racial profiling, and no-knock warrants) might surprise you.
But people like you have no interest investigating. Because why bother? She’s an accomplished Black woman. May as well just call her a neoliberal and a cop and be done with it.
She has a track record of imprisoning poor people for being poor. In California, no less, where it’s basically impossible to not be poor.
This is a pretty typical wild mischaracterization of what actually happened — assuming you’re referring to her truancy programs. (Do you even know what you’re referring to, or are you simply repeating smears about Black women that you’ve heard?) As is usual for women, especially Black women, hyperbole and toxicity are the political norms. It is disappointing to see it, but unsurprising.
Having just looked up a bit of detail on the truancy law (and living outside the US, so I’m coming at this not having heard much of anything about it), that sounds horrific. The rationale Harris gave, that it was designed to connect parents to resources, doesn’t mesh with the fact that threatening people with jail time isn’t how you help them.
I also ran into the fact that she argued in favour of the death penalty. Again, not exactly something that’s going to make her appealing to anyone even remotely progressive.
Nice assumptions you felt the need to make about what I know or don’t know. No need debating with boot licking assholes.
You’ve demonstrated knowledge of literally nothing during this conversation. I’m the only one that’s referenced actual policies here. All you’ve done is hurl insults at me and Black women politicians. It’s not a good look, but keep doing it, it’s really making my point for me.
