Terrible law that passed with almost unanimous bipartisin support. Plenty of blame to go around on that one....
Joe is tougher than you might think.
That is the problem.
Joe is the guy who wrote the 1994 federal crime bill, which federalized the War on Drugs, 3 Strikes, disenfranchised millions of Black voters, etc. Worst law ever passed. Totally fascist.
Yes, and that is the point.
Democrats don't deserve any more respect than Trump.
I remember Bill praising the bill when he signed it.
They all deserve to be run out of town on a rail.
Nor has anyone tried to repeal it.
Disgraceful.
Makes you want to occupy congress!
The difference being everybody thought the crime bill was a good idea, even if it did eventually turn out to be a bad idea. With tump everybody knew his crap was stupid
Nah. The ONLY people who thought the 1994 crime bill was good were total fascists. Not only does the federal government have ZERO legal jurisdiction over things like drugs, the whole idea of proscribing what people can take to feel good is incredibly fascist. Neither liberals nor conservatives should have been able to support it. Only dictators could. And 3 strikes essentially removes the 5th amendment right to a fair trial because then the prosecutor essentially gets to set sentences instead of a judge. Again no liberal or conservative could possibly have ever supported that. Drugs had become socially acceptable and popular in the 60s, so only fascist elite would have wanted to federalize a War on Drugs in the 90s. There was no excuse for it. The people did not want it. That is obvious since it incarcerated millions and disenfranchised millions of Black voters. What people have to face up to is the fact the Democratic party has NEVER really been liberal, and was always equally fascist as the Republicans. That is why Trump did so well. He posed as a populist, something the real liberals are sorely missing and desperate for.
If the DNC does not at least start becoming slightly liberal again, then the next populist is going to blow them away, as it should be. I doubt I will ever vote democrat again. Picking Biden was about the last straw, as there is hardly anyone more fascist.
