      Then I admit that this dimissive "Well, it was a collaborative thing" for the 1994 Crime Bill, when he literally was involved in drafting the Senate version, but giving him deep credit for the Violence Against Women Act isn't something I understand.

      Because Biden was not the author of the worst sections of it, while he was the author of the VAWA, he's called those worst parts since a mistake and has policies that would fix it

      Ok, show me what you've used to determine this.

      The WaPo article is behind a paywall, but: "Biden also opposed some parts of the law, even while he helped write it. In 1994, he reportedly called a three-strikes provision — that escalated prison sentences up to life for some repeat offenses — “wacko”" for one

      Interestingly, from the WaPo article: In 2016, responding to a protester, Clinton blamed the sentencing provisions in the law on Biden. (plus a quote)

      The GOPw ere the ones insisting on sentencing provisions there. Biden was involved in drafting on committee, but the provision he was most responsible for what the VAWA

      Replying to @vine_zak @iridienne and

      Yes, the quote says that Biden says he couldn't get the bill passed without the sentencing. "The Republicans will kill it if you don’t put more sentencing in." Which, from where I'm standing, means let the 1994 crime bill die, not put in the sentencing.

      You clearly little recollection of 90s and the issues with crime then, which seems....common in these conversations.

      I don't know what you mean by this. Are you saying you think passing the 1994 crime bill was something that *should* have happened?

      Replying to @Eristae @iridienne and

      There was no political context in which a crime bill was not passing in 1994. Crime was a serious issue, constituents all over wanted them to do something about it. "Kill the bill" sounds nice, but it wasn't feasible whatsoever.

      This is one of the things that's hard to talk because discourse in the Black community has shifted over time You can find a lot of Black community leaders, politicians, celebrities, columnists, etc in the 90s explicitly decrying UNDER-policing as a sign of structural racism

          The Congressional Black Caucus was also, quite famously, very split on the 1990s crime bill, and some considered the worst aspects of it to be acceptable compromises
