Before the 2020 election - Biden’s site had loads of policy positions. At r/politics a lib told me Biden was for stuff like ending cash bail. I didn’t believe that was remotely possible so I went to the Criminal Justice Policy page at joebiden.com. I ended up reading the entire page. It made me infuriated because every single word was a lie. In fact - I assume Biden farmed out writing it to “progressives” so it sounded authentic and then Biden’s team then tweaked the language and/or demanded changes. It sounded anti-Biden. For example “Cash bail is the modern-day debtors’ prison.”
Joe Biden’s Criminal Justice Policy
End cash bail: Cash bail is the modern-day debtors’ prison. The cash bail system incarcerates people who are presumed innocent. And, it disproportionately harms low-income individuals. Biden will lead a national effort to end cash bail and reform our pretrial system by putting in place, instead, a system that is fair and does not inject further discrimination or bias into the process.
