Nine Reasons Why You Should Support Joe Biden For President

I want to see Trump voted out in 2020 but there is one person that I definitely will not vote for. I can not abide by Joe Biden. “Uncle Joe” may try to come across as some kind grandfatherly figure but the truth is that Joe Biden bears more responsibility for the drug war, mass incarceration, the militarization of the police, the erosion of our liberties, and the racial disparity in sentencing than any other person that is still alive. He didn’t just vote on bad laws, he wrote them and pushed them from his powerful position as chair of the Senate Judicial Committee. He coined the term “Drug Czar” and pushed to have it be a cabinet position. He criticized George Bush Sr, who was the president who is most associated with the drug war escalation, as not being tough enough on drugs in speeches on the Senate floor. He pushed property forfeiture. If you have been victimized by the drug war you can blame Joe Biden.

There are many articles on this and video of him pushing the drug war in speeches if you search “Joe Biden Drug War”. This is an article you should read: https://www.leafly.com/news/politics/joe-bidens-drug-war-record-is-so-much-worse-than-you-think

This is one of the videos you might watch:

Did I mention that Joe Biden is one of the only democrats that might be in the campaign that still thinks that marijuana should be illegal and that if you are one of the 50% of adult Americans that admit to having tried it and you got caught you should continue to have a criminal record that will be used as the basis for discrimination in housing, education, and employment for the rest of your life? That’s good old Uncle Joe!

If the party insiders push this man on us I will not be voting for him even if it means that we have four more years of Donald Trump. Don’t let him gain any traction because I am not alone in the fact that I will never vote for a anyone that thinks that marijuana is a crime and that people should be put into a permanent underclass by being saddled for life with a criminal record for the indiscretions of their youth that brought no harm to anyone. That is an oath I made many years ago and Joe Biden is one of the worst of the worst. When you are thinking about how he has name recognition so he would be a good candidate make sure you think of all the negatives attached to that name recognition. This will be a big weight around his neck.

Rumor has it that Joe wants to hire Monica Lewinsky to do the “vacuuming” if he’s elected .

Don’t forget the powerful people in charge just might pull off the hat trick. What if Hillary was so determined to get her way she agreed to run as his Vice-President to show her support for his grandfatherly faux pas’s or fox paws, as some of the pawed-upon might say.

When that Boeing manager called my black co-editor a little monkey he tried to say it was a term of affection he used for all young girls and ladies. Bullshit. I’d known the “Chief” for 20 years and he’d not called me a little monkey one time. He didn’t have the political clout to avoid a fine, but he probably works there still. Boeing was good at covering their managers’ snafus of all kinds. A little political clout goes a long way in government contract work. If I hadn’t been willing to call him to account for saying it, the man would probably still call black people little monkeys to their faces if he thought they were young enough. The old coot was from Alabama and got promoted to Chief Master Sergeant at a time when being gruff was a promote able quality. He called her a Little Monkey because she was a cute young black woman. I don’t think he really meant to be discriminatory or put her down. He was just a dumb old coot from Alabama that joined the USAF at a good time and ended up staying a career and seeing the world. Then Boeing hired him to rubber stamp the Quality Assurance paperwork because everyone loved the Chief and who was going to questions his stamp of approval?

No One would get in trouble for that later but the black editor did get a public apology for his saying it out loud in the office and shocking those who actually read the company policy manual and understood office etiquette.

He should have known better. You cannot be in a position of authority like the Chief or Biden were in and NOT KNOW that behavior is inappropriate. There was an element of dominance in both men’s behaviors, I think. The Chief had never called me a Little Monkey because I am not black. He called Neika black to let everyone in the place know he could get away with it as the gruff old chief he tried to portray. I marched to the head Boeing asshole in charge and demanded he call the doddering old fool on the carpet.

He knew he should NOT say it to her. He did it anyway because he thought it was funny at her expense not realizing it put all of us in a terribly awkward position. I did what any good union steward would do: Confront the head Boeing manager on equal footing.

Funny word: equal. Saying it doesn’t make it so. I got suspended.

The Chief got fined. Neika got apologized to. I ended up on a two week vacation they paid me for after I filed charges and won my case. However, Boeing taught everyone a valuable lesson: Don’t rock the gravy train for some fair labor standard principle or you will be suspended for insubordination. Equal my ass. He suspended me for not showing him proper respect as a former full-bird colonel and I knew it, lowly enlisted gal that I once was. It is everywhere.
