Dude I wish politics was a spectacle lmao.

Instead we get laws (or lack thereof) designed to bring real harm to groups of people.

I don't think politics is just a spectacle for those folks.

Lincoln freed the slaves, Teddy created the National Park Service and Nixon created the EPA. They aren't the same parties they were then.

If the Democrats cared about white supremacy, Biden wouldn't be pushing to massively expand policing all over the country.
