President Joe Biden Has Won the 2020 Election

[ultraflexed]

So on record. If he details a plan for this will you be satisfied or just call it lip service?

The devil is always in the details so yes.
Also how he plans to get it done

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Some of the stuff in there is pretty good and what some activists have been pushing for for a while.

End the criminalization of poverty. Cash bail is the modern-day debtors’ prison. Biden will lead a national effort to end cash bail and reform our pretrial system by putting in place, instead, a system that is fair and does not inject further discrimination or bias into the process. And, he will work to end the practice of jailing people for being too poor to pay fines and fees.

Create a $20 billion grant program to support criminal justice reform at the state and local level. Funds can be used by cities and states on measures proven to reduce crime and incarceration, and require states to eliminate mandatory minimums for non-violent crimes in order to receive funding.

Reform sentencing. Biden will work with Congress to reform federal sentencing and provide incentives to state and local systems to do the same. He will end, once and for all, the federal crack and powder cocaine disparity, decriminalize the use of cannabis and automatically expunge all prior cannabis use convictions, and end all incarceration for drug use alone and instead divert individuals to drug courts and treatment. He will work to eliminate mandatory minimums and the death penalty.

I read it . And anyone on here somehow trying to justify voting for trump without being Rich, white is a c00n. I’m sorry it’s true .

 

[Freedman]

How does Mitch McConnell feel about this tho

 

[Xyrax]

I don’t want to sound rude or anything it is a little something.

but none of this shyt does anything for me and doesn't seem to mean much of anything at all.

I’m sure it’s some better ideas out there.

I don't believe you. I don't believe you at all when you say this.

Let me post a few of the things he included here....

Make sure economic relief because of COVID-19 reaches the African American businesses that need it most. The first installment of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) largely left out minority-owned businesses. The Center for Responsible Lending estimates that more than 90% of small businesses owned by people of color will not receive loans. The program is not taking into account the specific challenges that African American businesses face in accessing funding and complying with the program’s requirements. The financial institutions best positioned to help African American small businesses don’t have the systems to quickly deploy the funding in a first-come first-served approach. The second phase set aside $60 billion for community banks and CDFIs, as well as mid-sized banks, which can better serve smaller businesses and minority-owned firms. This is a good start, but more needs to be done:

• Provide AfricanAmerican entrepreneurs and other small business owners technical assistance to help them apply for funding, as well as legal and accounting support to ensure their documentation (such as their financial records, tax filings, and other legal documents) is all in correct order. The Trump Administration and Congress should provide an additional infusion of operating capital to these CDFIs and community-focused lenders to ensure all African American entrepreneurs have access to the technical assistance and support they need.
• Reserve half of all the new PPP funds for small businesses with 50 employees or less, so the bigger and more well-connected aren’t able to win in a first-come, first-served race. While this will help the vast majority of small businesses, it should also help target more funding to minority-owned businesses, given 98% of all minority-and women-owned businesses have fewer than 50 employees.
• Produce a weekly dashboard to show which small businesses are accessing loans. Such a dashboard would help drive better data collection on the beneficiaries of small business support related to the COVID-19 epidemic, including in particular collecting data by gender and race, in order to ensure that the program isn’t leaving out communities, minority- and women-owned businesses, or the smallest businesses.

Eliminate local and state housing regulations that perpetuate discrimination. Exclusionary zoning has for decades been strategically used to keep people of color and low-income families out of certain communities. As President, Biden will enact legislation requiring any state receiving federal dollars through the Community Development Block Grants or Surface Transportation Block Grants to develop a strategy for inclusionary zoning, as proposed in the HOME Act of 2019 by Majority Whip Clyburn and Senator Cory Booker. Biden will also invest $300 million in Local Housing Policy Grants to give states and localities the technical assistance and planning support they need to eliminate exclusionary zoning policies and other local regulations that contribute to sprawl.

Increase access to affordable housing. Biden will invest in expanding the supply of affordable housing by:

• Establishing a $100 billion Affordable Housing Fund to construct and upgrade affordable housing. He will ensure funding supports community development efforts, expanding the HOME program and the Capital Magnet Fund, which spurs private investment in affordable housing and economic development in distressed communities.
• Providing tax incentives for the construction of more affordable housing in communities that need it most. As President, Biden will expand the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit – a tax provision designed to incentivize the construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing for low-income tenants that has created nearly 3 million affordable housing units since the mid-1980s – with a $10 billion investment. Biden will also invest in the development and rehabilitation of single family homes across distressed urban, suburban, and rural neighborhoods through the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act.

Build and modernize infrastructure in communities that need it most. Biden has offered a transformational $1.3 trillion plan to create millions of good-paying, union jobs—roads, ports, waterways, schools, broadband, schools, and more. His plan includes specific measures to close the resource gap in communities of color. Biden will:

• Invest in historically marginalized communities and bring everyone to the table for transportation planning. Biden will create a new Community Restoration Fund, specifically for neighborhoods where historic transportation investments cut people off from jobs, schools, and businesses. And, he will work to make sure towns and cities directly receive a portion of existing federal transportation investments.
• Bring broadband to every American household. As President, Biden will close the digital divide. First, he will invest $20 billion in rural broadband infrastructure. He will triple funding to expand broadband access in rural areas, and ensure that the work of installing broadband provides high-paying jobs with benefits. He will encourage competition among providers, to increase speeds and decrease prices in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Biden will also work with the FCC to reform its Lifeline program, increasing the number of participating broadband providers, reducing fraud and abuse, and ultimately offering more low-income Americans the subsidies needed to access high-speed internet. Finally, Biden will work with Congress to pass the Digital Equity Act, to help communities tackle the digital divide.

Address the African American student debt crisis. The student debt burden has a disproportionate impact on African Americans. The typical bachelor’s degree graduate has about $16,000 in debt compared to $23,400 for African Americans students. According to a recent Brookings Institution study, African Americans graduating with a four year degree are 5 times more likely to default on their student loans than white graduates. African American students are three times more likely to default on their student loans than white student borrowers. The inequitable burden of student loan debt contributes to the stark racial wealth gap that exists in society. Biden’s plans to address student loan debt will alleviate student debt burdens by:

• Including in the COVID-19 response an immediate cancellation of a minimum of $10,000 of federal student loan debt.
• Forgiving all undergraduate tuition-related federal student debt from two- and four-year public colleges for debt-holders earning up to $125,000. This will also apply to individuals holding federal student loans for tuition from private HBCUs and MSIs.
• Forgiving loan payments for individuals making $25,000 or less per year and capping loan payments at 5% of discretionary income for those making more.
• Fixing the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program and forgiving $10,000 of undergraduate or graduate student debt for every year of national or community service, up to five years.
• Cracking down on private lenders profiteering off of students by empowering the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to take action against private lenders who are misleading students about their options and do not provide an affordable payment plan when individuals are experiencing acute periods of financial hardship.
• Permitting the discharge of student loans in bankruptcy.

Expand and use the power of the U.S. Justice Department to address systemic misconduct in police departments and prosecutors’ offices. Using authority in legislation spearheaded by Biden as senator, the Obama-Biden Justice Department used pattern-or-practice investigations and consent decrees to address circumstances of “systemic police misconduct” and to “restore trust between police and communities” in cities such as Ferguson. Yet, the Trump Administration’s Justice Department has limited the use of this tool. Under the Biden Administration, the Justice Department will again use its authority to root out unconstitutional or unlawful policing. In addition, Biden will push for legislation to clarify that this pattern-or-practice investigation authority can also be used to address systemic misconduct by prosecutors’ offices.

Reinvigorate community-oriented policing. Policing works best when officers are out of their cruisers and walking the streets, engaging with and getting to know members of their communities. But in order to do that, police departments need resources to hire a sufficient number of officers. Biden spearheaded the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program, which authorized funding both for the hiring of additional police officers and for training on how to undertake a community policing approach. However, the program has never been funded to fulfill the original vision for community policing. Biden will reinvigorate the COPS program with a $300 million investment. As a condition of the grant, hiring of police officers must mirror the racial diversity of the community they serve. Additionally, as President, Biden will establish a panel to scrutinize what equipment is used by law enforcement in our communities.

So when you read this small section of this 35 page document that speaks to everything from debt forgiveness SPECIFICALLY to African Americans with student loans from schools including HBCU's, to expanding and having the Justice Department start to enforce and penalize systemic police misconduct, and not to mention: "decriminalize the use of cannabis and automatically expunge all prior cannabis use convictions, and end all incarceration for drug use alone and instead divert individuals to drug courts and treatment." Then Imma call you a liar famo.... There aint a black person alive in America that cannot either:

Name someone they know that would benefit from this.
Feel and be safer because of one of these
Directly benefit from one of these more than financially
And or benefit from one of these directly...

And this is a fukking fraction of the document... There's another 34 pages of shyt but yall telling me you read it all and you see NOTHING THERE THAT MATTERS TO YOU?

Nah...

Some of the stuff in there is pretty good and what some activists have been pushing for for a while.

He will work to eliminate mandatory minimums and the death penalty.

Exactly. The detail in this bytch is crazy. I know he has Black people on his team that came up with this shyt because no way did Biden come up with it on his own. This shyt is direct, and touches on a lot of long overdue changes. And so much of it he will be able to do by executive order, so its fukk the Republicans.

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

First of all he released that shyt quick as fukk


Wonder why




Looks like a 8th grader made it

 

[mannyrs13]

My exepectations is trump will lose by a landslide because I'm seeing alot of former trump supporters turning on him and are telling him "no tangibles no vote". They're waking him to trump's con game and how he hasn't done nothing that he promised them and hasn't done nothing for them at all.

They are saying that they would be better off voting for Biden who they will recieve more for than they will recieve from trump. They will get nothing from trump being president for next 4 years. They will get tangibles at the bare minimum from Biden for the next 4-8 years. Trump is trying to cut their food stamps and welfare. Trump is also trying to stop stimulus checks. Trump is ruining this country daily. Biden will increase their food stamps and welfare. Biden will aprove multiple stimulus checks. Biden will repair the damage that trump has done to this country for the last 4 years

There's gonna have to be a point where the government can't afford to keep giving stimulus checks tho. They'll be digging themselves into a hole by giving out more and more and the poor are going to be the ones that suffer the most. And with the way this economy is looking, reparations may not even be a possibility anytime soon cuz I doubt Biden gonna take the risk, especially with everyone wanting and needing a stimulus check. I don't see them being able to raise food stamps and welfare. Maybe try and get people off of food stamps and welfare would be better, but the government won't survive trying to keep giving everyone more money.

Sounds HORRIBLE. I'm gonna let Trump win instead

 

[Uno Venova]

Notice how this thread is moving a lot slower than the threads where you can just shyt on Biden and happily claim Dems are worthless and you're not voting?

 

[I Really Mean It]

This election is going to change the world in ways we can't even grasp, no matter who wins.

 

[xoxodede]

This plan is for "POC," Women, Women of Color and Minority Serving. It's not Black/ADOS/AA.

This is also basic rights as a U.S. Citizen.

 

[Lord-Yosh]

No Tangibles No Vote cac.
