    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.

        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.

            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.

                You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the legal system.

                No, you do. It is an adversarial system. Prosecuting attorneys… prosecute. Defense attorneys… defend. It is the jury that decides factual guilt or lack thereof, and the judges who sentence. ALL of these roles put the furtherance of justice as their #1 priority, or should at least.

                If you want to argue she is responsible for some sort of prosecutorial misconduct, I will listen. To say she put people in prison without a guilty verdict and judge’s sentence gives her authority she doesn’t and shouldn’t have and to argue otherwise is a “fundamental misunderstanding of the legal system”.

            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.

                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.
