Political Humor

I would say the same thing. I would promise to not fall into the same dogma that, 30 years ago, brought us that crime bill. It had support from a wide array of representatives and people. We the people have changed, albeit slowly, and now we understand crime and policing better as a problem. I'd rather focus on, rather than what people did 30 years ago, what we're doing now to stop the same patterns and create new ones. Maybe Biden can be leveraged to put a dent in our police problem, perhaps he does feel a connection to the issue having written that bill?

If you think that people should be judged purely on their history, why should those convicted felons be allowed to vote?

I want to point out that I think that should not be the case. Just that I think you should take a look at Biden's current policy at and least acknowledge that he's doing better than he was 30 years ago. Don't forget the sins of the past. Just acknowledge when people do better and, maybe eventually, consider forgiving those past sins if he continues the positive momentum.
