I think you have to be very careful before you use that word. However, this president has shown us time and time again from the way that he started his campaign, to the comments about that Mexican-American judge during the campaign, to his failure to immediately condemn white supremacists in Charlottesville in 2018, to just a couple of weeks ago his comments about Representative Ocasio-Cortez and her three colleagues, to just these comments about Representative Cummings and his district as well as his comments about a year and a half ago- or maybe two years ago now about John Lewis in his district.
Julian Castro's website is updated as he presents new policy plans. He has already published his plans for ending over-aggressive policing and immigration as well as several other issues.
He uses Twitter to state his position on issues. Today on education:
I went from underfunded public schools to Stanford and Harvard, and learned a clear lesson: Talent is universal, but opportunity is not. As president, I will fight to ensure all of our children have access to a world-class education.
On reproductive justice:
As president, I will expand access to health care, including abortion. I’ll appoint judges who respect Roe as precedent, repeal the Hyde Amendment and gag rule, and advance reproductive freedom for all.
and yesterday:
“To be a fairer nation, we have to protect the freedom to have an abortion in this country.”
He also says the dealth penalty should be abolished.
Donald Trump may be impeached or self-destruct, but we still need to figure out who should replace him. Knowing where candidates stand is a good start, as is knowing which candidates are making it up as they go along because they think it will up their chances (Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, are you listening?)
Harris's announcement today on student loan forgivemess is raising a lot of questions: It applies to pell grant recipients who have started and sucessfully maintained a business in a disadvantaged community for three years. Exactly how many people would that help? (It's hard enough to get a pell grant, graduate, and get the capital to start a business, let along start one in a disadvantaged community and have it be success for three years. As someone on Twitter wrote, it's like offering a free 72 ounce sirloin to anyone who eats it all.
Harris also announced this week a plan to invest $60 billion in "science, technology, engineering and math education at historically black college and universities." She hasn't said where the money would come from.
Joe Biden this weekend channeled Obama on health care and said he'd expand Obamacare. As as side note on Biden, the New Yorker last week had a long profile on his son Hunter who has been battling drug and alcohol addiction for years. Hunter was interviewed extensively by the author. The article asks if Hunter will negatively affect his father's chances for the nomination. I don't think so. I think Joe Biden will do that all by himself. To run for President at the age of 76 when he failed two or three times before is the height of narcissism in my view.
