Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Nope. However she has ties to Willie Brown, who is a notoriously corrupt politician in the San Francisco area. It's a "where there is smoke..." situation. My point is not to assert that she has dirt but to point out that declaring there is no dirt might be a bit dubious.
You could have stopped there.
"I think maybe there could be because someone else maybe sorta kinda" is not proof.
Also: "has connections to" has essentially no weight in this context. Unless there are personal ties or frequent contacts with this person (which OP definitely did not indicate), then it could be as little as "had a business interaction because their professional lives are related".
Shit I could say Biden "has connections to" Donald Trump because they ran against each other
Lol, they literally dated right before her political career started. I see you didn't do the minimum effort to even look into what I was talking about.
Yeah not for nothing but I'm not gonna bother researching a vague comment like "has ties to" from a random person on the internet to try and discern what they're talking about. If so I'd be up to my ears trying to figure out who all those people that Trump is refering to when he says "people are saying"
You should learn to communicate properly. You didnt even do the minimum to convey what you were talking about.
Nice deflection
Yeah, that's not even "smoke"
I never intended it to be proof, so I don't see your point.
Nobody likes a concern troll.
"dated Willie Brown" is not "smoke" to indicate corruption.
She would not be the first to be corrupted by his influence.. It also doesn't help that his proteges have all been running SF local government for years. It seems insane to me to dismiss their relationship as not a concern. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but it seems absurd to think she is "squeaky clean" in light of it. I can be pro-Harris and express some critiques.
Again, what is the "critique" here? That she dated Willie Brown?
A politician who worked in the same town as another politician might have interacted with that person? Wow. I am scandalized.
