Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) made a final pitch for socialist ideology two days before the presidential election, posting a video explaining the difference between “equality” and “equity” and concluding that “equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.”
“So there’s a big difference between equality and equity,” Harris said in a video posted to her Twitter account on Sunday. The video featured an illustration of two individuals about to climb a mountain. Each was given two ropes, which a white man used to begin climbing. The other man, who appeared to be black, was unable to reach the rope, as he stood several feet lower than the other man.
“Equality suggests ‘Oh everyone should get the same amount.’ The problem with that, not everybody’s starting out from the same place. So if we’re all getting the same amount, but you started out back there and I started out over here — we could get the same amount, but you’re still going to be that far back behind me,” the narration continued.
“It’s about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing,” she continued as the video showed the fruitful ground rising the man up to the original level of the white man, where he then grabbed the rope and climbed up to the peak.
“Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place,” she concluded:

The vice presidential hopeful’s analogy drew backlash from several social media users.
“Equity through government force inevitably puts one group at a disadvantage to another to social engineer outcomes. That’s not fair or equitable,” one remarked.

I do surveys for colleges because what the heck, it’s extra money while I’m doing nothing.
I can’t BELIEVE how left wing and insane the PhD students and professors are.
They must curse when they read my comments at the end.
Basically...COVID is AIDS, the Black Death and Ebola all wrapped into one.
Everybody Must be equal in every way. Not just equal in being able to pursue happiness.
Everyone Deserves happiness, unless you’re white. Then it’s a toss of the die.
It’s pretty comical :)
Straight up COMMUNISM that is what she wants..heck that is what Biden voters want, they want communism..I want to see Kamala open up HER wallet and give her wealth to the Govt, but she wont
The Gulag
Yep. Usually a ditch with thousands of other rotting corpses.

No, we don’t “all end up at the same place”, no matter what. Some people are smarter, some study harder, and some work harder. And with socialism, only the party insiders will do well. It’s a fools errand, and has never led to a prosperous society.
So long as they’re in control.
‘Equitable Treatment Means We All End Up at the Same Place’
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wroye about that place. In Russia it was called Gulag.
Same place?
Yes!
LAST, sadly.
What do you mean “we”, paleface?
Everyone equally poor.
Thanks alot, communists.
We all do wind up in the same place —not exactly what she has in mind, but the only real universal equity we are likely to get.
Did you say ‘commie-la’? I asked mockingly.
This is beyond socialism. It is communism which will have to be enforced in the usual manner. How many will she kill; as many as it takes.
She’s a Pinko, Jim.
Basically...COVID is AIDS,. . .
= = =
What if they had treated AIDS back then, like they now do covid?
