Explain why the US bail system is not insane
If you have money, you can pay the bail and get released, while poor people can't.
I don't see why people with money should get benefits in the legal system?

Illinois just got rid of cash bail and it's working pretty well so far, so at least there are folks there who see how crazy it is too.
And republicans (or, at least one, in my district) are campaigning here on how cashless bail is letting criminals go free.
Cashless bail isn’t letting criminals go free any more than cash-based bail was. I am just as safe. There is nothing to see here, except a more level playing field for all.
Why do the republicans in charge hate people so much? I don’t think their constituents hate people nearly as much as the leaders.
