Criminal justice

I'm a bit doubtful about the veracity of the criminal justice section. Ideally, attorney generals decide to prosecute based on whether the law was violated and and on the likelihood of obtaining a conviction, rather than politics. The reference given is a partisan one, and not the best one to use I think. Bongolian (talk) 08:48, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Could someone please rewrite that section in prose? The current bulleted list is best for her presidential candidacy sheet. Nerd (talk) 20:14, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

@Nerd I put that section into prose; if you want anything more than the bare minimum I did, you'll have to do that part yourself. DuceMoosolini^{Your friendly RW dictator moderator} 20:20, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

There is no consensus

One or two people coming to agreement isn't a "consensus," @Bongolian. — Oxyaena ^Harass 22:38, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Oxy’s edits seem pretty good to me. I support readding them. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 23:17, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Except that it has the same biased sourcing that we said should not be applied on the Joe Biden page. Is this a Biden-specific no-bias? If so, that doesn't make sense. So, is there consensus? Should this apply to all pages on living politicians? We need a policy on this in my view. I've had repeated problems about this issue across three pages: Bernie, Biden and Harris: left-biased sourcing has been allowed to the exclusion of centrist-sourcing. @DuceMoosolini, Flandres, GrammarCommie, AMassiveGay, Ariel31459, LeftyGreenMario, and The Crow ^{— Unsigned, by: Bongolian / talk / contribs}

Just because something is centrist doesn't make it rational. — Oxyaena ^Harass 13:58, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

I agree completely on that, but you're relying on far-left sources to criticize someone who is left-center. That doesn't convince anyone. There are centrist news sources that also do serious fact-checking that also report critically of Harris. You're fighting a losing battle by thinking any significant numbers people are going to be convinced by Jacobin who aren't already Social Democrats. You're being lazy by not at least finding fact-checking sources that corroborate your far-left sources. Bongolian (talk) 16:16, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

@Bongolian I didn't even add that, it was someone else. Multiple people here disagree that Jacobin isn't reference worthy. — Oxyaena ^Harass 17:08, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Vice President

Does she already know who she's gonna pick for VP? Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 16:25, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

The 2024 Presidential Campaign section could use more sources

Seriously, just compare the amount of sources in each section relative to their length to the amount of sources in the '2024 Presidential Campaign' and 'Vice Presidential Election' sections. TheOneAndOnlyCirrusMan (talk) 23:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
