    Agreed.  Civility and working across the aisle are key faults of his.  I mean,  you don't need to compromise and work with people you don't like in the real world,  so why should you in Congress?
    Why are you skewing the truth this time mrussel?

    And regarding the less racist-gushing candidates:

    Joe Biden is leading the Democratic pack in the latest Monmouth 2020 polling, but Elizabeth Warren is up five points from May and Bernie Sanders is right behind Warren. The panel discusses Warren's rise.

    Skewing the truth?  Shaun King is a fucking liar.  He said Biden tried to stop integrated busing.  That's a damn lie.  Joe Biden was against forced busing, as were the vast majority of Americans including blacks.  Everyone hated it because it put kids on buses for hours in a day, all races.  There was no such thing as a movement against 'integrated busing' for school children.  Learn a little about the civil rights era before you start posting total bullshit.

    And busing was a failed policy.  There are all sorts of studies that show it did not increase black educational levels at all.  It also led to white flight to the suburbs which reduced the tax revenue in the cities that needed the money for schools.  Busing was a dead policy by the 80's because it was ineffective.  FFS, learn something.

    Yes, everything you know about the Civil Rights movement can be summed up in 9 seconds.  I agree with you there.  You continue to double down on ignorance and lack of information.

    Why are you posting outright lies by this joker Shaun King?  Do you not think about or research what you read before you post it?  Do you blindly follow anyone who is 'woke'?  Why don't you think a little bit before you embarrass yourself and your country with these ridiculous misrepresentations?  For God's sake, think for yourself a little bit rather than being a sheep.

    This is all true.  Forced busing was bad news.  
    The dem candidates are grasping at straws because he is the front runner.  FFS he was the vp for our first black president.

    Everyone hated it. That's why title III that still exists today,  is a better policy.  We need to increase funding though.
