The difference is between supporting criminality and supporting a cause that may benefit some criminals. It's an important difference.
The distinction without a difference is her personally contributing funds vs. her publicly asking people to do so. The latter is no better than the former, and may even be worse.
I agree (see my 4:00 PM post).
The implication that she didn't know that she was asking for contributions to a fund that bailed out rioters is asinine. The police were only arresting rioters.
I don't disagree with your first statement. The second is extremely unlikely to be true. There are always people getting arrested for non-violent acts of civil disobedience, violating curfew, or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Well if you agree with my first statement, then we should stop there and agree Harris' public support of the fund was despicable.
Then what it comes down to is that a lot of you just don't like bail reform. Kamala is no more despicable in that respect than anyone else who supports it.
I'm generally ambivalent about bail reform. What I don't like is a politician supporting funding bail to put violent criminals back on the streets during the middle of a riot. No surprise you call it a mere dispute about bail reform. You're regularly obtuse and on the wrong side of most issues.
You have trouble separating issues. Funding bail and supporting violence are two different ones.
Not when you fund the bail of criminals who then go out and commit more crime.
Two different issues.
It's certainly understandable why you're trying desperately to split them.
Are you saying reforming the bail system is the same as supporting violent crime?
Are you saying paying for the release of violent criminals who go on to commit more violence is not supporting crime?
Targeting the release of violent criminals has absolutely nothing to do with bail reform. That's a different conversation. Are you really aware of what bail reform is?
I'm not interested in the separate conversation of bail reform any more than I want to discuss tax reform in this conversation. We are discussing Kamala Harris advertising for and bailing out criminals with an NGO she supports. Some of those criminals she personally helped bail out went on to assault people and kill people. She advertised the bail fund during the riots while she was also telling rioters they shouldn't stop rioting. Facts matter.
You missed the conversation that was going on before. It's ok.
Weird that it would be confused with the very obvious topic at hand, then, given the context surrounding when Kamala made her statements about the protest riots and what she subsequently did with her money and fame in helping them raise $35,000,000 to bail out criminals. Most people can see it's just her funding the violent brown shirt wing of the democrat party during nationwide rioting but some let the vast void of coincidence color their rationale so they think otherwise. Maybe it shouldn't be suggested that Trump's words to peacefully protest are a sign he promotes a violent ideology. Maybe it's the height of stupidity to claim Biden's pick of Kamala Harris isn't a sign his administration supports violent ideologies when it gains power for democrats.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?
