I'm from Oakland, she's done a lot of bad stuff for sure. She has also fought against the death penalty for a cop killer though, so it's only fair to give her credit.
That said, that was in 2004 and she has done few actions like that since then, moreso supporting the prison industrial complex for sure. I do think calling her Hitler at the moment is too far, she was the first to call for an immediate ceasefire, despite having also said her (Biden-Harris admin) would also give support to Israels military, despite possible disagreements.
Calling for a ceasefire is important. She may be complicit in many ways, but she is one of the few that has expressed dismay for what is happening to Palestine.
