No, I don't want Hunter Biden to be in jail. My life is not improved either way if he's pardoned or not pardoned. Stop centering him.
I'm centering the 2 million+ people unfairly in prison and jail under racistly applied and excessively harsh drug and weapons sentencing laws put in place by Biden.

There are 8.2 billion people on planet earth. Some other countries are supposedly draconian, and police states.
So tell me why 1 in every 5 prisoners on planet earth, is locked up in the US?
And why most US prisoners are locked up pre-trial?
Mainly for low level drug charges, pushed for by Biden?

@mekkaokereke It's a very simple question to answer: Capitalism. As long as we have for-profit prisons, we will have incarceration for profit.
No.
That is a very unhelpful simplification of the very specific point that my thread makes. And it's not true. You don't need to end capitalism to end mass incarceration.
I understand that you want to talk about capitalism in general. I'm talking about Biden in particular. The specific racist laws he passed, and their impacts.
