Are you asking Ein to answer for Bloomberg? He was literally a republican during his term as mayor.
oops! memory said he went independent -> dem not repub -> independent, so disregard por favor.
Just an added feature to the argument, anyways. Lock up policy was significantly worse than stop and frisk, anyways.
He’s instituted things that are as bad (and stop and frisk was a local policy, not federal). The treatment of families along the border is demonstrably barbaric and unethical. His stripping of environmental policies that go back to the 1970 clean water act (and others) are an obscene affront to environmental progress in this country, and will have devastating impacts on local (mostly low-income) communities.
Pretty short handed to say any of these are "as bad" , without knowing the future. On a federal level, how many policies have more detriment than that within the last half/century? The child separation thing was garbage but it was a short term policy and will never reach the scope of said things.
For the clean water bill, let's be a little more even handed here and state that the policy reverted the country back to the wild times of...2015/4, when it was instituted by Obama. I don't think anyone can state how impactful this
actually is so not sure what there is to be gained here. If my memory is right, Flint level contaminations are from now-known-bad infrastructure and not dumping, so are we then using this bill for large scale pipelines? Low population areas are never going to be as significant as every metro area with blacks in the country
-- but they're all sellouts to big gas when election time comes. lower dem bills!
He’s actually released some African Americans from prison, but he’s done nothing regarding the act of arrest and prosecution. Basically, he wants black people to keep getting arrested so that he can release some of them and look like he’s doing good things for the African American community. The better course of action would be to implement policies for police and prosecutors, but then he’ll lose law enforcement votes.
I don't think he's pro-Black or whatever, but I also don't think he's done anything as harmful as
known and accepted democratic policies. Hell, Warren's schtick is "When I get elected, NOW Dems will actually take care of minorities"
a fucking joke
Sit down bruh, you drunk.
