Okay, but fuck Bill Clinton. He signed DOMA into law and signed a bunch of crime bills that made things way worse for poor, minorities, and convicts.
He was the best Republican we've had since Ike.
Yeah, but he's so charming.
Look, he can make a cigar disappear and reappear! Amazing!
It is weird how he gets hated by the right for being too soft on crime and by the left by not being soft enough.
Because it is not a question of being "soft" on crime. The way that the system is setup right now, someone with money (see Trump), can stall and weasel out of many crimes because he can pay for the best lawyers.
Poor people are already poor to start with, and the system is built to make their life even worst. They get fucked over and over while the rich do whatever the fuck they want with no consequence.
The only time a rich person get what's coming for them is when they fuck over other rich people.
