I can tell you that Clyburn was wrong for supporting Senator Biden's crime bill in 1993. Millions of innocent Black people went to jail as a result.
I can tell you that Clyburn was wrong for giving president Biden a standing ovation for transferring Covid relief funds to cops. Same result.
I can tell you that young Black voters in the 80s and 90s backed Black centrist Dems and turned out for the candidates that they endorsed.
I can tell you that that doesn't work as well in 2026 as it did in 1996.
I use my knowledge, but also my Blackness to say that. It is my struggle.

If a white leftist criticises Biden on criminal justice policy, but Clyburn defends him? He is correctly saying that he shouldn't and does not speak out of school on this. Historically Biden has used politicians like Clyburn very effectively, to promote policies that young Black voters don't like.
