    Peoples arguments stem from her political career before VP specifically due to her being a cop, her strong support for stop and frisk, and some terrible policies which harmed the black community by propagating their mass incarceration along with poor standards of education and access to public services. To be clear though, still better than the guy who states he’ll be a dictator for “a day” whose lawyer claimed in court he could have his political opposition killed and as long as he wasn’t impeached, it’d be legal

      Additionally, Biden is one of the biggest proponents of the drug war and was more than happy to destroy people’s lives over cannabis, all based on his own anecdotal fear towards drugs.

      In 1986, then-Senator Joe Biden authored the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986–a critical component of the broader War on Drugs that devastated low-income communities of color through mass criminalization and systemic police violence.

      Biden and Harris are just a step below Hillary Clinton when it comes to how muddy and shady they are. They really need more progressive people within the party who have the ability to rally Democrats to change. Like what Bernie tried, but find someone young who can actually bring about the change.

      It’s all better then Trump and the Republicans, but Harris and Biden are as right wing as you get from a democrat.
