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?

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.
