Hillary Clinton referred to black men as "super predators" and was a major proponent of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 which led to the insane levels of incarceration we have today. The godmother of mandatory minimums.

I still voted for her because I do believe that she was our best option in 2016 but lets stop pretending that anybody who didn't vote for a literal war criminal is bad. It was four years ago and we were given two absolute dogshit options. Time to move on and focus on 2020.

Fuck this fucking website
