Protesting =/= rioting. Words are hard. I don't know what Kamala's position on cash bail was before she got in the senate... but while in the senate she has opposed it. It's a pretty standard position for people who support criminal justice reform.
Much of the right believes it... that's how you can justify supporting an evil man, because he fights the evil people on the other side. And it's kind of absurd to think that Kamala supporting rioters makes any sense politically. The riots probably hurt Democrats in the election. And if we assume your talking points are true, that she's supporting the rioters for political reasons, that is immoral behavior. One might even call it evil.
When someone points to the MN riots, and says "let's get these protesters out of jail", they are talking about the MN riots; they are not talking about a high level policy discussion on cash bail. The "protesters" Kamala is referring to went to jail for a myriad of crimes. Assaulting police, arson, torching cars, etc. In simpler times, the word for that was just "riot", but we can hardly expect Kamala Harris to refer to a movement she supports with a word that is synonymous with criminality.
Harris supported the riots because her party supported the riots. Her party supported the riots because it was their activists doing the rioting. To call it a riot would be to undermine what your activists are doing, and so we have had a year now of gaslighting and referring to the riots by increasingly outlandish names, e.g. "fiery but mostly peaceful protests".
You have been dissembling for a few pages now, it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
