Yet, they keep electing the Democrats that make the deep blue metropolitan laws and regulations that target black Americans. Jim Crow 2018
You're delusional if you think Ds are less open to criminal justice reform that reduces jail time than Rs.
Let a proper libertarian run on a platform that includes abolishing all drug related and other victimless crimes, which right off the bat reduces the entire US prison population by ~1/3, and you'll see how much the Democrats agree with Republicans and how fast both will rush to a podium to shriek at the heretic suggesting we stop with laws that are meant for nothing more than to feed undeserving people to the prison-political complex.
The Democrats are no more interested in reforming laws and stopping the dumbass war on drugs than the Republicans are, because both gain something with their base while those laws are in effect. The Democrats gain a boogeyman they can use to scare black people into voting for them, and the Republicans scare their base by claiming those ridiculous laws are all that stand between the voters' virgin daughters and the scourge of drug dealing rapists or something.
And oh yeah, both have Senators/Reps who use the prison/jail system as job creation programs in their states/districts. Fewer prisoners means fewer prisons, which means less jobs in a pretty cushy government industry.

I'll have to disagree with this. The Ds have put legalization of marijuana as part of their official platform, and it has gained traction much more rapidly in blue states.
Now I will grant you neither party supports it to the extent libertarians do.

#Walkaway
Why #Walkaway from the party that supports cannabis legalization, which will go a long way towards fixing this problem? The GOP "solution" is to continue to lock up more black Americans for simple cannabis possession while their donors in the private prison industry get rich.
