      Goodness Shaun. I think we all agree that the policy stances Biden has held in the last 10 years while the VP for Obama probably tells us a lot more about who he is now and how he would govern than something he said in the early 90s. This is so disingenuous. 1/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

      You and I respect each other a great deal, but I strongly disagree with you here. Joe Biden only recently even started to acknowledge his role in creating mass incarceration. It wasn't a single vote Symone. He crafted it. Fought for it. The laws are STILL IN EFFECT.

          And he was a part of an administration that began to address the issue of mass incarceration. But, o.k., you let thE.crime bill define Joe Biden today and I'll let Bernie's gun votes define him as the candidate he is today.

          Oh ,wait, Bernie is non-repentent of his gun votes and would vote the same way today. 😏 I'll go with the candidate who can evolve on an issue AND the guy who didn't call for a primary against a sitting president who tried his best to do something about the gun issue.

          Rayful Edmonds and his filthy family drug enterprise was running the city, until he thankfully finally went to prison, so yes, we were desperate to try any new law enforcement policy to end it at that time. 3

          I grew up in one of the most dangerous cities in America in the 1990s. I remember my city being under siege by drug dealers due to the crack epidemic. Black Community activists were begging the government to do something to protect our cities which lead to crime bill. 1

          I always thought it was unfair to blame the wife for the husband’s misdeeds. Meanwhile, Bernie who was an actual signer of the bill got to slip away with no accountability. Can we say sexism?

          Also, I keep hearing all of these ppl for Biden, but I haven’t heard him state ANY NEW policies that he will fight for in the future. So he'll only get Congress to agree to only 1 or 2 small changes and call it a victory later.
