After Biden win, Black activists demand reparations for slavery, police reform

I’m not sure BLM is going to be happy that Biden backed the 1994 Crime Bill which gave harsher sentences especially for first time drug offenders. It also increased funding for both the police and prison systems.

Do we not research the candidates before we vote for them?

I’m sorry, does that assume that black people are all criminals ? Trump basically told the police to assume so.

The only qualification that mattered was "not trump"

Na they just blindly vote for anything democrat because some ppl think voting republican is being a "sellout" or a racist.

@AkAtSUki That’s usually what it means now, since Republicans push a racist and misogynistic platform now.

I'd been saying that myself but it was that or 4 more years of Trump so..can't blame people. That being said he actually admitted it was a mistake now and he regrets it so I'll give him some respect for that.

Unlike Trump, Biden reflects upon his past behaviors and considers change.

@Mindful I mean Trump was a democrat for a while and changed to Republican.

He is also the only president in history to enter office supporting gay marriage.

I’m no fan of Trump but I’m also not going to lie to myself saying he is this horrendous person that the mindless horde has you to believe

Agreed. I like that he has brought more attention into politics/government. Scary how someone with power can just mislead a crowd not for their benefit but for his own. @TakingBackMidgaard

Most people don't do any research.. Sadly most people just believe what ever BS the mass media shoves down their throat..

Unfortunately, in the US there are really just two options. So it's either Joe, who sucks, or Trump that's even worse.

@basilfawlty89 I didn’t vote for either but so many people tend to forget about Trump’s 2018 prison reform aka first step act which lessened prison sentences for many especially first time drug offenders. Which released around 118k from their sentences.

@TakingBackMidgaard perhaps, but look at all the other horrible shit he did. Trump was a failure of a president. Most American presidents have been bad tbh, but Trump really set the bar low.

@basilfawlty89 de-escalating nuclear tensions in North Korea was pretty good.

Not starting any major wars or conflicts is pretty dope.

Trump spent the largest amount in governmental funding for research in over a decade.

Trump gave a $100M emergency fund to Flint Michigan.

Signed a 1 trillion tree plant executive law.

Like I’ve told others. I’m not a trump supporter but I’m not going to blindly hate someone to maintain validation through the eyes of strangers, friends, and family.
