Look don't get me wrong. I will criticize Biden if he does something stupid. But I feel better knowing that Biden's stupid is better than the resident's stupid. The resident's stupid is getting almost 200K people killed. Biden might just piss off some people on Wall Street and they lose some money or he has one of his harmless gaffs. Oh, wells.
Also, it's not just you who think this way, I am sure many people in swing states feel the same way you do. That's why it's essentially a swing state. Many of those people are essentially single-policy voters and feel either candidate is bad and can't vote for any. But those people will be in for a rude awakening if the resident gets another term and their lives become more miserable. If they want change, they need to vote for it. And sitting out or voting for the third-party does not improve their lives.

It’s not pandering, when he starts talking about solutions. His video doesn’t cut out soon enough, to be pandering. Here is Biden’s full criminal justice reform policy explained by Vox:

No, it's a truth that many folks don't want to hear. If you're not familiar with the term "DWB", then you're either not black, don't have black friends, or have extremely lucky black friends, because it's a very real thing. Hell, it got so bad in the small college town I was going to school in that some of the black students would have their friends drive them into town and shit because they got so tired of local PD pulling them over.

I didn't even listen to the full thing, just to hear him say that the girl wouldn't have been pulled over because she's white. Which, again, statistically correct.
https://openpolicing.stanford.edu/findings/
There are very few areas where white people are pulled over at rates equal to, or greater than, black folks. And you have upwards of 3x the number of black folks pulled over in some places like SF, Madison or St. Paul.
But look at that, he did go on to address the topic further before the video got cut off. I wanna know who runs that channel, because I keep seeing it pop up and it's gotta be doing the rounds somewhere.
I googled snopes, before clicking it. Thought I’d have to hunt down context, but realized I wasn’t the intended audience of the whole thing. I agree with him 100%...

I liked it... I really think people who don’t think Biden is going all in on social justice, should watch it. There is a reason it’s posted by someone who believes Biden is left extremist puppet.![]()

Explain how my grandmother’s black nurse’s son would constantly get pulled over, never given a ticket, but got to be a problem that we had to take her home so the police couldn’t hassle him any more. I’ve known since about 8 that DWB is an issue. More than 30 years ago. Things have not improved.
Don’t say it’s because his car looked suspicious, my ‘76 dodge spirit was being held together with spit and duct tape, and I was never pulled over.

What is this, the third of fourth time the Trump campaign has used either foreign nationals in their patriotic American ads? Nice Russian jet and gun there.
Making this more awkward, this isn't just a fail on the Trump campaign, this is their PAC they run with the Republican party.
"Law and Order", lots of places have had that, Russia, North Korea, Saddam's Iraq.
Laws can be made to enforce order of cruelty and brutality.
Equality and Justice, that is how you have peace and a society that benefits all.

No, it was a lie. My daughter is white and she has been pulled over before by the police, for speeding. I know other white women who have been pulled over by the police. He is pandering for the black votes obviously.

Kamala Harris, Joe Biden's running mate in the 2020 election, raised eyebrows on Monday evening after she accidentally touted economic plans under a "Harris administration."
Speaking during a virtual roundtable with small business owners in Arizona, Harris vowed that they will have an ally in the White House with the campaign's "Build Back Better" initiative.
However, the California senator appeared to briefly suggest that she was at the top of the Democratic ticket.
"A Harris administration, together with Joe Biden as the president of the United States," she said. She quickly clarified, "The Biden-Harris administration will provide access to $100 billion in low-interest loans and investments from minority business owners."

See, the difference is that your daughter wouldn't be murdered for drunk driving, while Sandra Bland was murdered for seemingly no reason.

This is actually kind of opposite of the truth. Most people who move to Texas do so because they like conservativism. Most of the left-leaning people were born here. In fact, if only native Texans voted in the 2018 election, Beto would have beat Cruz.
Your anecdote has absolutely nothing to do with anything. So suddenly because some family members of yours have been confronted by police officers... suddenly the historical persecution and mistreatment of black people by police officers is just... not a thing?
Hell, you're the picture of "if I don't see it, it must not happen, so stop telling me about it!"

...so fucking what?
Harris spoke to the economic policies she'd work to enact.
Trump called soldiers who died in war losers and suckers, and said he didn't like people who were captured by enemy forces.
Weird that you're more incensed about the former, and have completely zero opinion on the latter!![]()
