Of course the focus is on the protests not the litany of lies from a war criminal. I expected a Harris statement but I didn't expect the pearl clutching over burning the American Flag like give me a fucking break did a Republican write her statement? Very frustrating but I'll keep hope alive for the time being.

It would be dumb for her to not condemn flag burning. She's running for president. And if she didn't condemn it, you would definitely see it discussed on the news networks.

I disagree she could have made a general condemnation of violence statement or whatever. Flag burning pearl clutching bullshit is cringe. It's always been cringe.

If Kamala Harris just needed to win votes from people who say "cringe" a lot you'd have a point. But no, a US presidential candidate condemning flag burning is to be expected. It's so by the book standard that I'm surprised it's being mentioned at all.

I don't think this is a winning strategy to get young people/progressives and I think young people are her key to victory. We can agree to disagree though. I don't have to use the word cringe if it bothers you. How about this. It's really fuciing stupid. Again you can think it's important if you like but it really only appeals to "patriots" and they are voting for Trump.

Don't worry buddy, she's still on your side, keep hope alive!
