Memory of a goldfish.
Friendly reminder that mass incarceration was a bipartisan effort going back 4 decades.
Irrelevant. Read again, except this time more closely.
What matters is who changed first.
Democrats.
Democrats changed first.
As, in recent history preceding the great ideological shifts of party banners, they always do.
Nobody ask who co-sponsored the '94 Crime Bill.
but they haven't changed, and if they want my vote at this point, after the shit they pulled, they basically need to go down on me.
How old are you?
A lot of us consider 1994 to be pretty recent but maybe not to the younger crowd
Does it really matter to the point being made?
Oh man, how far we've come in 30 years. I really am quite proud of the Democratic party.
On the flipside, Republicans have if anything continued to regress.
Idk? What point is being made? That Democrats took a modest aesthetic step toward fixing a problem they helped create? A problem that runs much deeper than the scheduling of drugs and a problem that destroyed entire communities of color?
I'm not interested in engaging in a debate with you, I just think it's important to recognize the depth of the issues being discussed and be skeptical of the accomplishments being touted during an election year.

LOL.
Of course you're not interested, because you know you've got nothing. And yet, here you are.
