With both parties, it’s worthwhile to pay attention to their actions rather than their words.
Clinton created the mass incarceration state; Biden helped to push through the judges that gutted the VRA; the Dems as a whole have done very little to advance Black America’s interests since the Civil Rights Act and much to impede them.
Their actual policies are far to the right of their rhetoric. They usually like to claim that they’re forced into it by the need to compromise with Republican legislators, but their actions when they held the legislature in the first years of the Obama presidency revealed that to be nothing more than camouflage.
