post straight facts, removed as misinformation UPDATED
kamala Harris, as a da, locked people up and refused parole to keep them as slaves fighting fires.
mod says it's misinfo (probably without fact checking) and removes the comment

idk how I was doing mod abuse
You're viewing a single thread.
Disputing the early release of prisoners is different than 'locking people up' and people in her office advocating against early release is something that can be attributed to her because she is ultimately reponsible, but is not the same as her refusing to let them be paroled.
What you said is that she put people into jail and forced them to fight fires, which is not what happened.
What you posted was literally misinformation. YDI.
Also, fuck Kamala Harris.
as a da, then as ag, she sent people to prison.
she kept them there specifically to exploit their labor.
what I posted was true.
Except she didn't keep them there because the effort by her office was denied in court, and her job was to lock people up. She didn't prosecute people with the intent to make them fight fires and she didn't get to deny them parole.
She sucks because of being in favor of shitty laws and being pro punishment for non-violent crime, but this specific thing you said is not accurate.
you know I can see how there is some nuance, and how my statements were vague enough to be misinterpreted as misinformation, but the words I chose were true.
No, they were not true.
they absolutely were.
She sent them there for crimes
Oh yeah the American legal system and prison-industrial-complex are notorious for arresting only criminals and not just anyone off the street for say existing while black.
like truancy. she's a fucking Nazi.
Stop diluting the word "Nazi." All it does is water down the meaning and provide cover for the real Nazis.
Being an authoritarian does not make someone a Nazi.
no, thank you. I'm not going to distinguish between fascist or Nazi, either.
Then you're literally just helping them by playing their game of co-opting terms with definite meanings.
Congratulations on helping Nazis. You are part of the problem.
I don't know how you think calling a cop whose excuse is they're just doing their job dilutes the term Nazi for you, but I'm most definitely not helping nazis
That's not what a Nazi is. That's an authoritarian. All Nazis are authoritarians but not all authoritarians are Nazis. Nazis didn't and don't do the horrible things they do because they're authoritarians, they do them because they're extremist ideologues; their particular brand of authoritarianism emerges from that ideology.
Authoritarianism, on the other hand, could come from a genuine place of wanting to keep people safe. That doesn't make it right or admirable, but the impetus behind it is not harmful, only the way in which that desire is enacted.
By saying they're the same thing, you're playing their game where Nazis can hide behind the less extreme term.
You can be anti-authoritarian without being needlessly hyperbolic to the detriment of the point you're trying to make.
she literally locked up undesirables in slave labor prisons under the guise of enforcing the law and just doing her job. this adherence to the law, regardless of true justice, is exactly what made every Nazi, down to the paper pushers, evil, and I won't pull punches just because some of the Nazis held racial animous or were the ones actually operating the gas chambers.
Well in that case she will have a pace on the current administration
She didn't send people to prison. The judges did that. She just successfully argued that they should do it. What you posted was not true.
when a da runs for reelection, they do it on their conviction record. you're splitting hairs
No, you are. A person who's job it is to convince judges to put people in jail runs on their record of convincing the judges to do so is ... unsurprising.
this is splitting hairs
