No, I don't want Hunter Biden to be in jail. My life is not improved either way if he's pardoned or not pardoned. Stop centering him.

I'm centering the 2 million+ people unfairly in prison and jail under racistly applied and excessively harsh drug and weapons sentencing laws put in place by Biden.

@mekkaokereke Those laws were not put in place “by Biden” and by Biden alone. The push for horrific drug laws started in the 70’s and were on steroids by Reagan. I can remember watching Phil Donahue say, “that’s what you want, more prisons?” in the early 80’s. By the late 80’s crack and powdered cocaine had different sentencing guidelines, targeting the black population.

Biden should go out pardoning those 2.8 million.

@MiriShuli

Please read the whole thread.

It covers which senator in particular designed those sentencing guidelines under Reagan.

Hint: he's from Delaware.
