[RUDY RAYYY MO]

Man, this is the signing of the crime bill in 1994, where are all of those Black folks at, huh?

Analysis: Black Leaders Supported Clinton's Crime Bill

If Bill and Hillary Clinton were the pot, black politicians were the kettle. Their support of punitive measures actually paved the way for Clinton.

Second, the 1994 law shaped Democratic Party politics for years to come. Under the leadership of Bill Clinton, Democrats wanted to wrest control of crime issues from Republicans, so the two parties began a bidding war to increase penalties for crime, trying to outdo one another. The 1994 crime bill was a key part of the Democratic strategy to show that it can be tougher-on-crime than Republicans.

While Republicans continued their Willie Horton-style fear-mongering that pushed for more punitive policies in the states, the official 1996 Democratic Party platform, which was meant to provide a vision for the Democratic Party nationwide, relied heavily on the 1994 law to display their tough on crime credentials. An entire section in the platform is dedicated to "tough punishment," taking pride in the fact that the Democratic Party passed tougher sentencing laws and provided more federal funding for prisons in the states.

The platform encouraged states to pass truth-in-sentencing laws, bragged about instituting the death penalty for nearly 60 more crimes, and even encouraged the prosecution of young people as adults. This platform remained largely in place until 12 years later, when in 2008, the tone and substance began to change under new leadership in the party. Coincidentally, incarceration rates peaked in 2008.

I think you just described Governor Moore. They should be begging him to run.

Will the Dems cave and put a white man up as the face or do they have the integrity to run a Black on both sides Black Man?

If they go back to white man, especially 60 or over, they'll expose themselves. So much for the party of diversity.

Meanwhile Republicans are nominating women and Indian-Americans, taking away Democratic opportunities to say they nominated the "First _______" to the position of______.

The parties are trending back to their origins. I predict that the RNC will be the more diverse party by 2040.

I think Vance will be up to bat sooner than later.

Mark my words! Chump will not make it 4 more years.

He will die of natural causes ( God willing), be medically disqualified from office ( Please baby Jesus ), or assassinated ( c'mon crazy cac w/ good aim!!! )

Dems need to find a young, energetic, charismatic leader that will not suck off the LGBTTEQQYE123 community!!

Get goofy Vance out of office next election.

"CAC with good aim...lolol!!! Post of the day.

Agreed that he wont make it another 4 years. And Hillbilly JD is a real-life Manchurian Candidate controlled by silicon valley dollars.

We need to have all men on the ticket. Billy Joe Bob just wont vote for a woman.

GAVIN NEWSOM/WES MOORE IN 2028!!! PLEASE!!!
