LOL the Democrats utterly despise the American working class, as we all clearly saw in 2016. It was straight out in the open, and they were proud of it. The winner was going to be the Obama coalition, women and minorities. The working class? Disgusting deplorable people. Dems still think this today.

"The Democrats gutted welfare at the same time they exploded the prison population, called black people 'super predators', at the same time they did NAFTA. Then they deregulated Wall Street, which crashed the economy within 10 years. That's what Democrats did. Democrats did things that Ronald Reagan could only dream about, in his wet dreams. George HW Bush couldn't pass NAFTA. It took Bill Clinton to do it. Bill Clinton gave the cover to the other corporate Democrats to go along with it. That was the beginning of the end for the working class in America.

Then the Democrats wag their finger at people with no money and no power, for not voting for a corporatist warmonger like Hillary Clinton. Why do you think the people in Michigan wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton? Maybe because she put half of them in fuckin' prison? Because she passed NAFTA, and Barack Obama was trying to sell TPP at the top of his lungs, at the same time she was trying to get working people to vote for her? They knew what the fuck was going on! That's why half the country didn't vote. But you're going to wag your finger at the people who actually do vote? Who come out and vote their conscience? You know what voting for the lesser of two evils gets you? Donald Trump!"

Which claim was wrong and why? Explain for the audience.

don't really have to, especially here

But let's pick the Dems and GOP during the Clinton era. They were making deals across the aisle. The private prison arrangement was a bad approach in the long run, but initially helped. BOTH parties supported it. It was NOT a Dem arrangement. President's don't wave magic wands and direct everything, nor do they have much control of civil legislation. BOTH parties killed the traditional welfare arrangements, which involved people abusing welfare. This was NOT a Dem-only decision. It did not harm the middle class.

Think for yourself, Chipit, rather than quote an entertainer who is trying to attract viewers to his misleading rants. He's an asshole.

Without Bill Clinton and the Democrats, mass incarceration wouldn't have happened. You're not even trying to defend, this is bothsidesism.

I'd link a video of Biden being extremely racist and speaking in favor of the crime bill, but Youtube censored it. How convenient.

You can't merely rewrite history with your own ideas.

Not own ideas. Facts.
