    Dude wrote the horrendous Clinton Crime bill, setting the stage for further militarizing the police against minorities in the US and still finds ways to send more military equipment to police annually as president.

    Anyone saying Biden is a humanitarian even before his fuck up in Palestine was either a fool or pushing propaganda.

      The war on drugs and the crime bill had significant support in the black community and were endorsed by both political and religious leaders.

      Getting into the uselessness of the “tough on crime” position politicians take would be a very involved discussion, but at the time it was not seen the way we now see it in hindsight, and it had pretty widespread support.
