[quote=Anonymous]Their platforms are very similar. This nonsense about fascists and nazis is just plain stupid.  An incumbent like Parisa gets the benefit of, well, being the incumbent. She also gets the scrutiny of what happened during her tenure. There’s nothing she could have done to stop the drunk driving incident. Also, it was, objectively speaking, reasonable to try the drunk driver as a juvenile. But just because something is reasonable, doesn’t mean it’s popular. To not even show up at the sentencing hearing for such a high-profile and contentious case was political malpractice. This was a case where she was showcasing the consequences of committing to not trying juveniles as adults (again, a reasonable choice and part of her criminal justice reform platform, but also one that was contentious in this very tragic case and one for which she should have been taking visible ownership). I don’t fault Katcher for exploiting this weakness that Parisa willingly opened herself up to. It’s almost like she assumed she would be running unopposed and wouldn’t face accountability at the polls. Any political strategists out there disagree???[/quote]
