Genocide apologia is basically what .world is for.
In down-ballot races? Absolutely.
But that’s not even the same conversation.
Well, let's have that conversation. The party uses incumbency as an excuse to lock out progressive candidates like Jessica Cisneros. They pulled out all the stops to make sure Coathanger Cuellar won his primary. But when the incumbent is a progressive like Jamaal Bowman or Cori Bush, incumbency does not convey with it party protection. The party's move to the right is deliberate in down-ballot races as well.

Biden promised to reschedule, and it was a lie. The war on drugs has been a bipartisan effort, and it disproportionately harms minorities. Not only that, it was designed to harm minorities from the very beginning.
John Ehrlichman, one of the architects of the war on drugs:
We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.
Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

Kamala is a shift to the left from Biden. You should be fucking happy.

Her policies on fracking, immigration, and Gaza are identical to Biden's.
In the context of broken promises by the Biden administration regarding the bipartisan proxy war against minorities that we call the war on drugs.

One who was running against Roy Moore, the predator who would sexually assault teenage girls he met at the mall. We're talking a guy in his 30s who would hit on teenagers at Sears.
That said, yeah, Garland was a shit choice and Jones probably isn't the best either, but the staunchest legal attack dog in the Democratic Party I know of is, well, currently running for president.
