Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Is the official position of today's Rat party a return to busing?

If you opposed busing back in the 1970s, as a majority of Rat party members did, you're now a racist or at least not sufficiently racially sensitive according to the new/old standards.

Even liberal enclaves like Berkeley ended their busing programs years ago. Does Willie Brown's concubine have a policy to reimpose forced busing back on the country?

This election is going to be fun.

    So far just nostalgic revisionism.

    I think busing was probably necessary in the 70s and 80s. In 2019? No

    Mandatory busing simply drove the affluent out of once respectable public school districts. Many have yet to recover. I’m sure for some the opposition was due to racism, but for most of us, the issue was traveling to and from a school on a bus when we lived within walking distance of a school in our own backyard.

    That was an issue with both races
    Absolutely. Mandatory busing was unpopular North and South of Seattle’s Ship Canal. And private schools really got a boost.

    But a revisionism that a significant segment of your party seems to be embracing. If Biden is a racist for opposing busing why aren't you a racist for your opposition to busing?

    I don't recall saying or thinking that Joe Biden is a racist.

    Your party is filled with dumb fucks. My party is filled with dumb fucks. I've been perfectly willing to serve as a benevolent dictator, but people keep thinking we should give this representative democracy thing more time.
