Summary: Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard inspired me! As my winner of last night's Democratic primary debate for cracking open Senator Kamala Harris' complex and arguably quite troubling record of hypocrisy and injustice I cannot help but wonder: to what degree to we grant anyone-- whether it is Sen. Harris in her run for president, or even just ourselves-- the leeway of humanness and the inevitability of imperfection? When is a mistake one where we say "oh, everyone makes mistakes" and move on, and when is a mistake so troubling as to bring about a major response of consequence such as disqualification of the office of the U.S. presidency? So in this episode I will take a look at Sen. Harris' record in the context of questioning adherence to principle in the midst of complexity. Specifically, I examine her healthcare proposal, and her record as the Attorney General of California. One media organization that proves time and time again to be a great source as I contemplate these kinds of questions is VOX. There are two articles from them today that were exceptionally useful.
