Everyone: We have a problem with being one of the highest incarceration nations in the world
This fuckwit:
Can't wait for 2024/2028 :agony-deep:
Remember that time Mitt Romney said "We should double gitmo" still ended up flubbing out to John McCain?
Also just the most incarcerated full stop I think, to say nothing of the rate
Hes right, we don't have enough capitalists and Senators in prison, this should be remedied as soon as possible
I prefer re-education and giving them productive labor, perhaps making hand sanitizer or PPE rather than imprisonment
I suppose the logical endpoint of capitalism is turning the entire
countryworld into a network of forced labor camps.Prison reform is just bridging the gap between the people in prison and the people too poor to live the bourgeois life.
Chuds: Americans are the best most brave freedom loving people in the world. Truly exceptional.
Chuds: so many Americans are heinous criminals that need be locked up at an event higher highest rate in the world.
Well one of the traits of fascism is that the enemy is simultaneously strong and weak. And with a self-hating death-cult ideology, it all tracks.
Stuff like this is why arguing that there's no meaningful distinction between Democrats and Republicans usually falls on deaf ears. There are plenty of areas where the parties are in lockstep -- foreign policy is the classic example -- but then there are a bunch of areas like this. There are Democrats (especially local Democrats) who are actively dismantling mass incarceration, and on the other side of the aisle Tom Cotton is a presidential frontrunner.
"Both sides are bad" is the truth and needs to be repeated. "Both sides are equally bad" is a falsehood and a fascist talking point.
Exactly, but that's a tough distinction to maintain and an easy one for opponents to intentionally conflate. "Democrats could be way better than they actually are" might be an easier way to accomplish the same thing.
might as well argue about whether the moon is made of cheese. it might be (not a moonologist, not sure), but either way the point is irrelevant because it's all up there in the sky, not going to go there any time soon.

this isn't nearly a widespread viewpoint in the whole party, though. most democrats are biden/harris-level about cops
Tons of Democrats are shit, absolutely. But you also have stuff like marijuana legalization -- an enormous step in ending mass incarceration -- that's produced real results and is almost entirely a Democratic project at this point. Nothing like that exists in the GOP, and it's a significant factor in the Democratic Party.
Donald Trump has more charisma in one tweet than this dork has had in his whole life
He just realized there are still poor people who haven't been hit with drug charges yet
Well, we do have a major under-incarceration problem, but for white collar crime.
The Republican Primaries are going to be this guy, Tucker, and don jr, and Don Sr is going to jump in 4 contests in and win in a landslide
If he treats his son the way he treated Jeb! in the debates at least we'll still live in a funny hellworld.
under-incarceration
I wonder if these chuds ever consider the fact that every country that is safer than the US has both fewer police and fewer prisoners per capita than we do.
is this that "@prisonplanet" account I keep hearing so much about?
Watch these same Chuds try to claim the “Radical Left” wants to revive Stalin and put people into gulags.
then this guy would complain to the warden that not enough people are in solitary
