And your apparent drive to paint Biden as a ‘segregationist’ when you know as well as I do that busing was controversial with AA community and left liberals once it was implemented. It seemed like a great idea, but there were tons of untended consequences.

And I seriously doubt Senator Harris is going to campaign on reinstating busing as it was back then.

I am protective of all our candidates and don’t like seeing them misrepresented. I especially don’t like character attacks. Trust me when someone goes after Senator Harris with innuendo and half truths (“Kamala is a cop”) l’ll be right there defending her. And i’ll defend all of our candidates against misleading attacks

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
