Kamala Harris is a good news/bad news VP pick

Kamala Harris is a good news/bad news VP pick 

I supported the Senator for President. Her stand on increasing the child tax credit to $3000  per year and making it refundable is more progressive than Warren. Her record as a prosecutor means that she will take on corporate scofflaws as criminals more agilely than Warren ever would have. If she did not take own Steve Mnuchin it was because she could not put together a case (which was actually the responsibility of local prosecutors. The law is like that. It is about process and evidence, not theological stances. 

Every gathering on the left where Warren impressed, so did Harris, and not for demographics. No bad news here, especially in grandstanding about the politicization of the Knights. Many Bernie Bros will support the Greens without Bernie on the ticket. No net loss here. Unless Pence is the nominee, Senator Harris was the obvious choice. Against Pence, Amy should have been considered. Even then, either way, the GOP has become a lost cause.
