how about lengthening sentences for people who deface statues?

How do you reconcile his law and order stance while sending in unmarked cops to cities? Is that part of the criminal justice reform you are voting for? Or are you just picking and choosing things that make you feel better because you are 100% voting based on your wallet because you are a scumbag?

I am choosing to focus on the legislation because of the long-lasting impact of congressional acts.

Kind of like the long-lasting impact of the crime bill.
 
I've told you my reasoning and I completely understand if you don't think it makes sense. But the First Step Act and Fair Chance Act have done a lot of good. And I think his administration has the ability to strong-arm similar measures will pass in a second term.

That said, based on who Biden picked I may vote for Biden. I have said on here that a black running mate and support for reparations would get Biden to get my vote. Even with my concerns of obstruction in the Senate.

I don't need to keep saying this. But the convo would undoubtedly be different if Trump enjoyed the same percentage of the black vote as Biden.
But you refuse to address WHY the GOP and Trump only enjoy less than 10% of the Black vote. You sidestep the question at every opportunity, so you know everything you type is BS. You know why they don't enjoy higher favorability ratings among black folks. You know that they are using Black faces to strike fear in their base and drive them to the polls. The Southern Strategy is alive and kicking within the Right-wing political establishment, and because you're among those dark-skinned folks who are getting the crumbs of GOP policies, you support them and deflect over and over again.

Your act borders on the shameful.

AKA handwaving double digit unemployment, daily dog whistles, choosing profit over lives, corporate socialism that furthers the wealth divide, nepotism, pandering to white supremacists, employing white supremacists, record deficits, largest wage decline in decades, every country thinking we are a joke, not being able to travel to other countries, re-allocation of funds to military over communities in need, etc.

Whatever you need to tell yourself at night when you voted for the dude in 2016 after he based his entire campaign on tax cuts, a ****** wall, and stop and frisk. You voted with your wallet and are doing so again. No shame in that, just be honest with yourself for once.

You can stop lying to yourself and others anytime now. You aren't convincing anyone. The fact that you can't even point to a damn summary proposal and are voting based on "meaningful legislation" to be passed is laughable. You, like the rest of the republicans legitimately have no idea what the hell Trump is going to support in a second term because he doesn't have any second term proposals.

I said that it was likely because of many of the criticisms advanced by RustyShackleford RustyShackleford

With the Kamala announcement you may have missed that. Just go back a page or two and you'll see it.
 
I would have preferred Susan Rice. But, whatever. It's time to ride this blue wave all the way into the white house.

Biden/Harris 2020
 
Sounds Like Sports Talk But Love The Pick, Win In November. :pimp:

Biden Seems Like A One Term Pres, Needed To Pick Someone Who Can Run In 2024

I Think She Fits That Bill Best.
 
My favorite discussion of the primary is once again popping off in my text messages

Friend who doesn't like Harris: I can't stand her.

Me: Why?

Friend: Because of the ****** things she did on criminal justice record, and her comments about that

Me: Ok, then who's your preferred candidate

Friend: Probably Bernie

Me:

So Bernie's record doesn't give you pause

Friend: What record

Me: ***List record***

One of my friends is going crazy in my inbox. The lack of nuance that the general public has with respect to having discussions about the legal system is frightening. Right wing and far left has really made Kamala into the boogeyman w/r/t criminal justice, without context of time, policies she supported, etc.
 
A lot of us (especially black men) are misinformed on her to a great degree. It’s sad for real.
One of my boys is in my inbox calling her a Black Nazi and asking me about her convicting Black men. This is an ivy league grad who works for an elite company. :lol: There's so much sexism that goes into this that I honestly have to bow out of the discussion.
