Huh? Politicianspeak: "I never, ever opposed voluntary busing".

WTF is that even supposed to mean?

If you weren't in favor of mandatory busing then you were opposed to busing, period.

"I was never, ever opposed to voluntarily surrendering your guns" is the same sort of statement a politician would use if he wanted to be mealy-mouthed about opposing some future mandatory gun buy back program should we ever finally decide that we don't want those on our streets.

Sorry, Joe... JUST ADMIT YOUR MISTAKE for chrissake.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

The history of busing is not that simple. Many unintended consequences caused both the AA community and left-liberals to question it once it was implemented.

Is Senator Harris running on reinstating busing? I haven’t heard that she is.
