You know damn well he is. Yet I aint against holding them accountable. I'm also realistic. He we don't elect dems to the presidency, the house, and the senate. Then what's the point because the president can't move and real change without the cooperation of congress.

you mofokrs are funny....

Bernie Sanders warned against what the crime bill could do but you mofokrs had every reason not to support him.

There was a lot of shortsighted black "leaders clergy and politicians" who supported the crime bill at the time.

Biden apologized for the bill last year

As former Vice President Joe Biden mulls a potential 2020 presidential run, he's apologizing for his past stances on criminal-justice issues.
In a speech on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Washington, the former vice president acknowledged the detrimental impact of his approach to crime in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
"You know I've been in this fight for a long time. It goes not just to voting rights. It goes to the criminal justice system," Biden said at the National Action Network's Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast. "I haven't always been right. I know we haven't always gotten things right, but I've always tried."

Without specifically naming the 1994 bill on Monday, Biden said the decisions that were made in that era "trapped an entire generation."
"It was a big mistake when it was made," Biden said.

The vice president went on to say that "white America" needs to do more to address and recognize systemic racism.
"There's something we have to admit – not you – we, white America, has to admit, there's still a systematic racism and it goes almost unnoticed by so many of us," Biden said

But your boy Trump has doubled down on calling for the death of the central park 5

The statements regarding Sanders was blanket and not directed at you specifically...I am talking about black voters in general who wouldn't support him.

 

[muckraker10021]

Yeah Joe has said some questionable & dumb shit but it's him or Trump

Biden IS NOT the best candidate but in AmeriKKKa elections are a binary choice between the two major parties. El-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz or his equivalent will never be on a U.S. ballot for president. For those of you who watch videos besides ass-to-mouth porn videos, watch the video below, both candidates are flawed, but I'm voting for Joe Biden





All The RepubliKlans Knew Donald Trump was a Scumbag Piece Of SHIT


Why must Black people especially BLACK MEN too often be classified as 'Low Information Voters' ???.

Facts are Facts!!!!

In 2016 & now in 2020 I have heard fully grown Black men from the corporate board room to those in their mom's basement and those sitting on a milk carton in front of a bodega saying that they are voting for Drumpf because they "liked his pimp game"

Trump Pimps Melania

The chart below is the electrocardiogram of how to beat RepubliKlans at the ballot box
BLACK VOTER TURN-OUT. This is why suppressing Black voters is the #1 tactic of the RepubliKlans.
Again tell me why??? - Watch All In -History of Voter Suppression in AmeriKKKa

Why must Black people too often be classified as 'Low Information (Stupid) Voters', when their turnout is they key to who wins national elections
For those of you who can actually read & interpret a chat look below

Trump is an elite con man.
Inheriting millions from his father and with his father's support and political connections (tax abatements) he rode the roller coaster of a highly leveraged (10% down borrow the rest) real estate business, using his unique brand of perpetual self-aggrandizement promotion. Surviving more than 5 business bankruptcys, he slogged forward, selling his "brand" to anyone who would pay his price, allowing them to slap his name on buildings and properties worldwide.
Glitz, glamour and bullshit was his brand. T.S.F. (Talk Shit Forever). The details were left to minions of lawyers and bankers, almost exclusively foreign banks since the 1980's bankruptcies.

Trump was always uniquely UNQUALIFIED to be the POTUS.

Unfortunately too many American citizens (80,000) in three States, were too stupid to realize this and gave him an electoral college victory, and the POTUS in 2016.

Look at his actual unedited answer to just one Question he was asked by the Times of London on Jan. 17th 2017.

The man is a babbling man-child sociopath.

The ABC interview tonight Jan. 25, 2017 was just as stupefyingly idiotic.

http://linkis.com/abcnews.go.com/Polit/jtQcuT1

Michael Gove and Kai Diekmann, of the Times of London right, interviewing Donald Trump in his eponymous tower in New York


Question:

Do you have any models — are there heroes that you steer by — people you look up to from the past?​

Answer:

Well, I don’t like heroes, I don’t like the concept of heroes, the concept of heroes is never great, but certainly you can respect certain people and certainly there are certain people — but I’ve learnt a lot from my father — my father was a builder in Brooklyn and Queens — he did houses and housing and I learnt a lot about negotiation from my father — although I also think negotiation is a natural trait, I don’t think you can, you either have it or you don’t, you get better at it but basically, the people that I know who are great negotiators or great salesmen or great politicians, it’s very natural, very natural . . . I got a letter from somebody, their congressman, they said what you’ve done is amazing because you were never a politician and you beat all the politicians. He said they added it up — when I was three months into the campaign, they added it up — I had three months of experience and the 17 guys I was running against, the Republicans, had 236 years – ya know when you add 20 years and 30 years — so I was three months they were 236 years — so it’s sort of a funny article but I believe it’s like hitting a baseball or being a good golfer — natural ability, to me, is much more important to me than experience and experience is a great thing — I think it’s a great thing — but I learnt a lot from my father in terms of leadership. ​

Profile of the SOCIOPATH

Common features of the behavior of a Sociopath


* Glibness and Superficial Charm

* Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

* Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."

* Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

* Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

* Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

* Incapacity for Love

* Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.

* Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

* Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.

* Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.

* Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

* Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.

* Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2020 - https://thebulwark.com/meet-the-african-american-voters-joe-biden-desperately-needs/

Meet the African-American Voters Joe Biden Desperately Needs
Inside a focus group with African-American voters who stayed home or went for a third-party in 2016.


It’s widely assumed Joe Biden appeals to African-American voters in part because he was Barack Obama’s vice president.

But what if a key group of African-American voters in a major swing state don’t associate Biden with Obama? Or even recall that Biden was Obama’s veep? Or, if they do recall, think it doesn’t matter?

Those unexpected reactions provided moments of stark clarity during a pair of focus groups I moderated via Zoom on September 22. Over a total of three hours I heard from a group of African-Americans in Philadelphia who were one-time Obama voters, but who had either sat out 2016, or voted for someone other than Trump or Clinton.

For 18 straight months I’ve been conducting focus groups with “Obama-Trump” voters across the upper Midwest and Florida, with the majority of respondents being caucasian. This week I turned my sights to this other important category of persuadable voters.

These African-Americans matter a lot because in the city of Philadelphia alone, Hillary Clinton got 4,781 fewer votes in 2016 than Barack Obama did in 2012. One analysis published shortly after the 2016 election indicated lower voter participation numbers were concentrated in predominantly African-American neighborhoods in the city.

If Biden is going to flip Pennsylvania, a state Trump won by just over 44,000 votes, he needs to engage these voters more effectively than Clinton did.

In my group, six of these voters didn’t vote in 2016, two voted for Jill Stein, and one wrote in Bernie Sanders.

Several themes emerged.

• Casting a vote in 2016 wouldn’t have improved the quality of life in their community, they said.
• They believed that after eight years of Obama, there was no way a Democrat would get elected, so why bother voting.
• They argued neither Trump nor Clinton could be trusted.
• Misogyny also played a role: One man said he disliked Trump, but could not vote for a woman; another man who similarly disliked Trump complained that Clinton sounded “angry.”

So what are the voting plans of these nine voters for November? Five said they’re definitely voting for Biden. Two more, who are likelier to vote than not, said they will also vote for Biden. And the final two are completely torn, and may not vote this year.

The ones who are likely to vote said things such as:

• “It’s definitely for Biden. And I can’t, you know, [vote for Trump]. I have a mom, I have a grandma…messing with healthcare, the way [Trump] has….”
• Also: “I’m voting for Biden because of Kamala.”

One somewhat-likely voter suggested he might be susceptible to peer pressure from friends to vote. Another said if she votes, it will be because of Sen. Harris—but for now she remains non-committal.

The remaining two respondents seemed unlikely to vote, though one was leaning slightly towards Trump due to antipathy towards Biden and Harris rooted in criminal justice issues. The other, who wrote-in Bernie Sanders in 2016, relies heavily on her family’s opinion, and she suggested her whole family may not vote. She said she would never choose Trump, but reported she has not heard from Biden on the issues that matter to her, such as student loan debt and healthcare.

Biden struggles with this woman for the same reason he struggles with so many of the upper Midwest “Obama-Trump” voters I’ve interviewed: They don’t seem to know where he stands on issues.

And some in the Philadelphia group didn’t know much about Sen. Harris. Others, though, knew all about her, and called the Sen. Harris selection a shrewd political move. But immediately they added that they saw right through it. They wanted to know, beyond which people Biden would choose for his administration, what he would do for them. As one respondent put it bluntly: “If I’m going to give you my vote, I want something in return.”

One thing they are clearly not getting from Biden is inspiration. When I asked each person what emotion he or she feels when seeing Biden on TV or their device, responses included: “disappointment,” “neutral,” “scared,” “irritated,” “hatred,” and “oh my God.”

With one possible exception, everyone in this group remains out of reach for President Trump. Respondents called him a racist throughout the sessions. Yet the challenges for Biden remain significant, as it’s clear any candidate who is not part of their community has his work cut out for him.

It is rooted in the issue of trust. One respondent observed, “We have a hard time trusting people, and we definitely have a hard time trusting people that don’t look like us.”

This man offered some pointed advice to Joe Biden: “Don’t just say, ‘You should vote for me because I like black people. I went to the black barbecue. I got this black woman running with me, and you don’t like Donald Trump, so why wouldn’t you vote for me?’”

Yeah Joe passed that bill all by himself. Joe was also responsible for the prejudiced & racist judges who punished Black people with harsher sentences than Whites. That was all Joe.

it was.

In the bill he wrote, He made sure that in the mandatory minimums provision
the judges [as joe stated himself] "didnt have a choice" in the sentencing.
mind you the mandatory minimums were only for crack [making black folx a target] and not powder cocaine.

dont believe me?

watch the following video [skip to 1:08 mins]:





Now let's sit back and watch the mental gymnastics
you will use to try and wriggle outta this one.

OP: "How you all gone eat when you get up north? Masta Trump feed us good." "You can run but you still gone be a nigga no matter what."

The problem is he wont leave us alone. He keeps posting these bullshit threads.

They've totally thrown out all logic and rational thinking and analysis at this point. It's amazing to see. Nothing in the video I posted or the information and video you posted can be denied. Yet they don't care.

 

[zod16]

Plenty of things to be critical of Biden/Harris about but the problem is that trump/pence are far worse on those same exact issues. I hate wenches and was hoping that Biden would select anyone other than Harris. Not really voting for Biden/Harris as much as I am voting against trump/pence. No rational person could look at what is at stake and vote for trump or not vote.

 

[gene cisco]

They've totally thrown out all logic and rational thinking and analysis at this point. It's amazing to see. Nothing in the video I posted or the information and video you posted can be denied. Yet they don't care.

Bruh, you ain't going to get far right now. I can't fucking wait until January 21, 2021. When democrats have the presidency AND congress. Sheeeeeeeeeit. Trump changed the game fam. We now see how powerful words are. We see how quickly shit can get done. No excuses 21. None. Shit. Take weed.The new congress will be able to reschedule marijuana with the quickness. Fuck that they could have done it in 2009 or that Holder had 8 years. They'll do it now. I believe them.

Do you realize how much fun you going to have around here straight owning bootlickers? Man. It's going to be a fun 4 years.

I could have fun, but here's the thing: they don't want or expect anything out of Biden and Harris anyway. A few of them have said as much. Even ones who I thought were more nuanced in their thinking, like fonzi. See below.

They don't understand that

They also mistake a vote for support.

The adversary of my adversary is my ally

 

[Soul On Ice]

So you care what Biden did 40 years ago and think you are radical because you ignore what Trump Barr and crew are doing now ?




I am not a Biden supporter but I will be voting for him because removing Trump is my agenda.

And doing anything to help Trump does make you a coon.

Doing anything to deflect away from an open white supremacist does make you a coon.

To try and convince black folks that making a choice that does explicit material harm does make you a coon.

In light of that Fuck your video

youre using the word coon,
and you have no idea what a coon is.

 

[gene cisco]

I could have fun, but here's the thing: they don't want or expect anything out of Biden and Harris anyway. A few of them have said as much. Even ones who I thought were more nuanced in their thinking, like fonzi. See below.

Just watch this shit play out man. A lot of these cats didn't get talking about politics until Obama. They would have went away in 2016 had Trump not been elected. Now with Biden, we come full circle to pre-Obama.

It's not about the cats who don't expect anything from Biden. It's not about the ones who are voting for him just to get Trump out. They just at the cool table now because of Trump's bitch ass. It's about having fun with the punk bitches who really blindly support Joe and are playing like they aren't diehards.

Just think of all the shit you can bump/post after Jan 21 and cats won't have any fucking talking points.

 

[dasailr03]

It's like this... imagine that YOU HAVE TO DRINK POISON. One poison is slow action and will kill you slowly, while the other is Fast acting and will kill you faster. No matter what, both are poisons, both will kill you and you have no choice to drink. No if, ands or buts, you must drink the poison. Which one do you choose and why? Every election, we complain about the choices but act like we have better choices to pick from. Candidates will never come to you and ask you what you want from them and do that very thing. The best we can do is select the best candidate who represent our represents our views about things and hope they actually do something about it. Nothing more or less. Every candidate is flawed because we are flawed human beings. Just like you are not perfect in ALL aspects of your life, a candidate is no different. Remember you must drink the poison, it's only a question of which poison YOU choose to drink.


ps. for those on that, fuck that I'm not drinking any poison, you are that voter, the candidate knows, you will not vote for them or anyone so, they don't factor you in the equation. The candidate don't try to woo your demographics, will not present an argument for your demographics, will work to suppress your vote, and will not spend the resources to do anything about your situation because you do not matter and he is counting on you to do nothing about his attempt to win the election. He is only going to focus on the poison drinkers.

There were millions of black people incarcerated for federal crimes?

Because you do know the Congress cannot pass a bill that changes local and state laws right?

You do know that crime bill only affects federal crimes right?

 

[snark9]

 

[Big Tex]

Yes. Bernard said one thing in front of the cameras in the senate, then told the truth when talking at a smaller venue in front of his local voters.

 

[ballscout1]

Stay focused on the topic instead of relitigating 2016.....

but I will respond to you...

I have a number of serious problems with the crime bill, but one part of it that I vigorously support is the Violence Against Women Act. We urgently need the $1.8 billion in this bill to combat the epidemic of violence against women on the streets and in the homes of America.

It is my firm belief that clearly there are people in our society who are horribly violent, who are deeply sick and sociopathic, and clearly these people must be put behind bars in order to protect society from them.
But it is also my view that through the neglect of our government and through a grossly irrational set of priorities, we are dooming today tens of millions of young people to a future of bitterness, misery, hopelessness, drugs, crime, and violence. And, Mr. Speaker, all the jails in the world — and we already imprison more people per capita than any other country — and all of the executions … in the world will not make that situation right.
We can either educate or electrocute. We can create meaningful jobs, rebuilding our society, or we can build more jails. Mr. Speaker, let us create a society of hope and compassion, not one of hate and vengeance.

Let us be honest: This is not a crime prevention bill. This is a punishment bill, a retribution bill, a vengeance bill.
All over the industrialized world now, countries are saying, "Let us put an end to state murder, let us stop capital punishment." But here what we're talking about is more and more capital punishment.
What we're discussing now is an issue where some of our friends are saying we're not getting tough enough on the criminals. But my friends, we have the highest percentage of people in America in jail per capita of any industrialized nation on Earth. We've beaten South Africa. We've beaten the Soviet Union. What do we have to do, put half the country behind bars?
Mr. Speaker, instead of talking about punishment and vengeance, let us have the courage to talk about the real issue: How do we get to the root causes of crime? How do we stop crime, which is in fact a very, very serious problem in this country?

Still, Sanders voted for the crime bill, largely because it included some provisions that he strongly approved of, like the Violence Against Women Act and a 10-year assault weapons ban. And he backed more funding for police, which the 1994 law included and remains a popular way to fight crime among liberals and conservatives.
But in other instances, Sanders voted against tough-on-crime measures. He voted against the 1991 crime bill. He voted against banning Pell grants (for college) for prisoners. He voted to amend the 1994 crime law to ban the federal death penalty. And he voted against the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, which stripped defendants and prisoners of their ability to contest court rulings — even when the rulings may be unconstitutional.
But mostly, Sanders didn't really seem to care much about criminal justice policy. To him, the root of many of America's problems, including crime, has always been the economy and economic inequality in particular. The tough-on-crime push never fit into his ideals.
