    I'll say this again and again. These laws are STILL IN EFFECT. They've wrecked millions of lives. And Joe Biden didn't cast a bad vote for mass incarceration, he was the primary architect and cheerleader for it. Fought Republicans to make sure he got credit for it.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1124300911533350912 …

    Joe Biden has many absolutely gross moments where he fought for mass incarceration. This is one of the worst. His crime bill already passed. Here he brags about writing the law requiring states to double the average length of prison sentences if they wanted federal dollars. pic.twitter.com/AqQ7gy8VfO

        Is there a way for you to support @BernieSanders be without tearing down other candidates. There will be a time after the primary when we have a nominee and it might not be Sanders.

        When simply pointing out where a candidate stands is considered "tearing down", it shows without question that the candidate stands on the wrong side of the issue. #NotMeUs #NeverBiden #NoStatusQuoJoe

        Agreed. We must discuss the issues so we don't repeat the same mistakes. That's what we do in a primary. Besides, Biden would never get my vote under any circumstance. Passive Aggressive Racism is till racism.

        Also 95 Senators voted for that crime bill - including Bernie. It was wrong in retrospect, but it was the consensus at the time.

        Every candidate should be asked about their current stance on privatized prisons and mass incarceration.

        By being the "tough on crime" Democrat, Biden disenfranchised millions who now can't vote Democratic. In the process, he turned families' lives upside down. This was a Republican win, and haunts Democratic candidates to this day.

        Not defending Joe here, I don’t know the details of his legislation. Our justice system needs an overhaul, period. I understand harsh penalties for violent criminals, but too many people get dragged up into the wrong net. This should be a central campaign issue across the board.

        Unfortunately he'll still get a of of votes because a "tough on crime" stance is progressives' favorite tool to show they're amenable to centrist positions. They love to say "end mass incarceration" but they're not willing to do a thing about it other than marijuana legalization.

        Yes he fell into the get tough with Black folks and let White abuse pass. Is Bernie throwing stones through you? I wonder if Obama knew this about Biden? Obama probably did not vet Biden. Talk to AG Holder his office did the VP vetting they probably missed Biden background check.

        In the 1990’s Elizabeth Warren was a Republican and Donald Trump endorsed universal healthcare and a wealth tax, but most voters are not dumb enough to let that steer their decisions now. They know people evolve.

        Strongly disagree. Went with the centrist last time and the status quo, and lost big time. It's not going to work this time either. Less likely to work this time around. Most will not take Bernie's advice and vote for Biden or any other Corporate tool. We've had enough.
