for it and still be reasonable people.
That bill, however, is a far cry from what was being alleged.
I don't think this bill is at all a deal killer for Kamala Harris. Frankly, it makes sense on paper. I'd be more worried that the bill could be abused by unscrupulous people.
But this is the problem with people using extremist, black and white, God vs the Devil thinking. There is no room for any reasonable disagreement or discussion.
I am hardcore anti-death penalty, but I have placed votes for politicians who agree with the death penalty. I think it's government sanctioned murder, they think it saves lives as a deterrent. Neither of us are bad human beings. We are both decent people who strongly disagree.
And sometimes you can see what's in a person's heart, regardless of what they might feel in that moment. I am a gay man who phone-banked and knocked on doors for Obama. I knew he wasn't pro-gay marriage in 2008, but I wasn't surprised when he changed his mind because I knew what was in his heart. In his heart he was a good person who cared about people like me.
