"Completely agree with condemning violence, especially violence on the left. "

Why especially on the left? Or am I to understand this as a person of the left doing housecleaning on her side?

Charlie wrote about bothsidesism yesterday. A crucial difference between the left and right at this moment is that Trump is actively supporting the violent actors on the right and Biden is condemning violence all around. In other words, Biden is attempting to defend the ideals of democracy and constitutional governance while Trump is attempting to blow them up in service to his delicate ego.
