Kamala Harris Election Campaign

And yet, only one 'side' stormed the Capitol to disrupt the orderly transfer of power following a national election, to overturn the result.

Sure... one 'side' wandered through the Capitol and did no material property damage and caused no actual harm. But you're not wrong.

The other 'side' held dozens of 'mostly peaceful' marches involving tens of thousands of people for Not My President. And that same other 'side' tried to occupy parts of Seattle, and proceeded to set several buildings on fire (sometimes with people inside of them), loot, and vandalize private small businesses.

You're very selective in what sort of destructive and uncivil behavior you call out as being an existential threat and what sort you seem willing to accept as no big deal. Or at least brush aside and pretend like it doesn't count.

From where I'm standing, it's different targets and different slogans... but it's pretty much the same type of behavior, and the same risk to the populace.

They literally smeared **** on the walls. Where do you get this from? Like I said, you're not a centrist. You buy all the right-wing bull **** hook, link and sinker. This is one of the most inane comments you've made in this thread. Seriously.

Just for a note:
As of October 14, 2022, the approximate losses suffered as a result of the siege at the Capitol totaled $2,881,360.20. That amount reflects, among other things, damage to the Capitol building and grounds and certain costs borne by the U.S. Capitol Police.

What a stupid implication that it cost nothing and did no harm. People ******* died. Get your **** together.

Probably because one was called for and put upon the capital by the actual POTUS vs. people who weren't. Again though, you already admitted you have no idea how to differentiate between the extremes so your statements here are understandable. Critical thinking is hard. It's not for everyone.

Yeah, sure. "Centrists" carrying the GOP water. You have no idea what you're talking about and your credibility is currently in the red. Just stop while you're behind, this is foolish.

Or some of us are aware of the context and the facts? And a lot of the behavior you are claiming is condoned is infact, not condoned

Uncivil levels of wrongness.

You're "Ladies look to your left, now look to your right, statistics show that both men will rape you" in every other thread and here you are running interference for someone who brags about sexually assaulting people.

I don't know whether you honestly believing it or this being a bit and you expecting other people to believe you is more insulting.

https://www.britannica.com/event/January-6-U-S-Capitol-attack

According to a Justice Department report released in July 2021, approximately 140 Capitol and Metropolitan police officers were criminally assaulted by the rioters in the January 6 attack.<..snip...> The rioters caused an estimated $1.5 million in damage to the Capitol building.

You are also equating extremists who were condemned by the mainstream Democratic Party with people who were encouraged by the current GOP candidate for POTUS. "Let them riot"

The two are not equivalent

I don't know why you're surprised. It's just leopard logic. As long as it's other people's face getting eaten she has no problem with it. You probably run into this exact thing all the time.

That's dishonest crap. 2.8 million dollars in physical damages were caused to the Capitol building by January 6th rioters. 5 people died. Some police officers suffered career ending injuries. And as horrible as all that was, what was worse was this was a clear attempt at insurrection. My uncle didn’t die at the Battle of Hurtgen Forrest fighting fascism to have a bunch of prima donnas destroy democracy here.

That people have been hurt in other riots is not an excuse. I'm from Seattle. I don't accept or condone rioters in my town either. They are also not on my side.

Not My President protests, held all over the country, resulted in 13 arrests, all in Portland, OR. As it turned out, the PDX police were the ones found to have been overly aggressive and arrested people who should not have been. The protesters were not being violent or looting.

The Seattle incident described, which happened the summer before the election, was not connected to the Not My President protests, but to the George Floyd murder. It wasn't related at all to Trump's election or politics. It was also determined that the majority of looters were criminal opportunists.
 
And a dozen people have told her she's wrong, explained that's she wrong and why she is wrong, shown facts and evidence that she's wrong and...

... we're gonna get, at best, a huffy appeal to "I have a right to my opinion" or some similar truism, not an actual defense of her opinions because she doesn't have one.

And this is what I mean when I say being wrong is uncivil.

Gladly joining in to call out such a blatant and disgusting lie.

When your bothsidesing leads you to say wildly dishonest things, you’re not bothsidesing anymore. You’ve chosen your side and it’s obvious which one it is.

And I'm just looking for the admission that she's not a "centrist". She's a right-wing supporter and, as JoeMorgue pointed out, will happily throw even her most hardened positions in the mud to support Trump\The Right through complete fabricated lies.

I don't mind people being on the right, it's the constant high-horsing and pretending that is so irritating. Just don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining.
