There is that argument that Hillary isn’t responsible for “her husband’s” policies, but she has taken responsibility for proudly promoting Bill’s omnibus crime bill of 1994 which led to the massive build out of the mass incarceration of the Prison Industrial Complex where more money is spent on prison than on schools.

The United States leads the world in having the largest prison population AND major drug problems as well!

Bill and Hillary’s crime bill was used to justify mass incarceration for many crack addicts and small dose marijuana users, not dealers. The focus was not rehabilitation of the addicts, but punitive punishment.

Now Bill while supporting Hillary on the campaign trail says that the 1994 crime bill was a humanitarian attempt to stop drug violence. However its supposed unintended consequence disproportionally locked up and destroyed Black families with thousands being sent to prison for non-violent drug offensives. With Hillary calling some black youth “super-predator” needing to be brought to “heel”!

It is one of those, oh gosh, we meant well but oops, vote for Hillary moments!

About the same time in Portugal they decriminalized all drugs and since then drug usage in that country has declined substantially. In the United States it has increased.

Once upon a time the Democratic Party stood for decent wages, adequate housing, quality public education, public health care from cradle to grave, adequate pensions and the right of political participation. No more.

Now both the Democrats and Republican only stand for corporate greed and war profiteering at the expense of the regular people who still some how believe they have a say. And the people do have a say …….. but not a choice!

You can vote for dog shit or dog shit!
