This article I wrote the other day. But this is much like other simplistic accusations of "you voted for/against this bill," including the gun bill.

We all know, Bills have many things in them. Rarely does a bill do just one thing--sometimes it does many things, on many different areas. The crime bill was like this. It had money for prisons, more cops on the street, it had provisions for women, to specifically address problems. It also had things like mandatory sentences, increased death penalty provisions, for lesser crimes, and some fairly onerous provisions.

I can't find it, but I read an article the other day, salted with videos, where Sanders specifically calls out amendments to this bill, the very ones he did not like in the bill. Did he vote for the overall bill? Of course--like I said, it had "some" good things. Did he agree with every provision? Hell no. And in this piece, he speaks out against the onerous stuff.

just because you voted for it, doesn't mean you supported every item in the bill, as they're usually filled with good and bad stuff. Suffice it to say, there was much in the bill that more specifically affected blacks, saddled them with mandatory sentences, often taking away their voting rights for life.
