    Biden stated during the 2020 election debates and town halls that he regretted supporting the drug war and some of the racist policies. I’m not clear on why people keep claiming he supports it, it’s all on tape to see and has been for years that he said he was mistaken.

      Big lot of good his regret does all the people who suffered. Especially when he’s not fixing the mess he helped create

      So what has he done to undo the damage the policies he supported caused?

            I’d also add that he’s directed the department of Health and Human Services to begin the process of potentially removing marijuana from Schedule 1. That’s a bureaucratic nightmare that will take entirely too much time, but Biden has been taking real steps, even if it’s not as fast as it should be.

              I’ll admit to being a layman on this, but why is it such a huge hairy problem to deschedule it?

        Since you’ve done no legwork on your own, I would say broadly that he’s worked for and voted for major equality and financial reform over the past twenty years of his career. Its not hard to find. Your just being lazy and regurgitating something you heard online.
