I can’t believe he has “supporters”
He has the most progressive campaign for a moderate that we’ve seen for 2 decades.
I can tell most of y’all haven’t even looked at his agenda.
Everybody hates him bc he’s establishment, but outside of healthcare no one really goes at his policies.
I know he doesn’t cater to the Twitter intellectually community, but he’s got solid plans across the board.

fukk him for that crime bill and his stance on school busing. He gets the same energy as Bloomberg gets for Stop and Frisk.

“Most progressive for a moderate”
The entire basis of his campaign is that people feel Warren/Bernie would likely lose to Trump and he's the safe bet.
Whether that's true is debatable but it's a rational concern. I lean towards Warren but I do worry she'd lose the general.
That said there's nothing particularly good about Biden otherwise.
black ppl were anti school busing. Back then sending your kid to white suburbs was a safety issue. There’s no twitter, no fb, no cell phone, no news camera following them. And all they had for a reference point was black ppl getting their ass kicked in the south.
On top of that, unlike the elitist white twitter bullshyt you probably read. Black ppl didn’t think they needed to have Liberal white ppl educating their cHildren. They didn’t want a white savior to teach their kids, they wanted more money.
They explicitly asked for it not to be approved and told him to vote no. That’s how I know all y’all are regurgitating white progressive bullshyt. Everything ur saying is from that viewpoint, a white savior mentality that acted like blacks in the 1970’s didn’t know any better.
Just as whites didn’t want their kids around blacks, blacks didn’t want their kids around whites.The crime bill passed under a democratic president. Everyone got it wrong. It passed with 94 yes’ and 4 no’s In the senate. 94% of senators regardless of party voted yes.
Biden has the most comprehensive plan to right those wrongs via criminal justice reform.
End crack discrepancies. Biden and Bernie want it to be eliminated. In fact they both supported it in 2007 and agreed on a bill to get it done. Warren refuses to answer the question
He wants No more private prisons, no cash bail reform, No mandatory sentences.
The entire basis of his campaign is that people feel Warren/Bernie would likely lose to Trump and he's the safe bet.
Whether that's true is debatable but it's a rational concern. I lean towards Warren but I do worry she'd lose the general.

Besides healthcare what do you disagree about Biden’s platform?
