How can you bleaters not see that leftists are out to destroy our country and the Democrat Party is merely a shell of its former self? YOU ALL ARE VOTING FOR THIS! I'm not saying "go Republican" because that party has issues as well, but there is very little doubt, it is the better of the two.
As an Independent, I don't agree 100% with either party, but I will definitely vote for the best candidate and currently, the Republican candidates are the best options.
Leftists/Marxists are destroying our country. Don't just bleat for your team. Do your homework! For crying out loud, they're openly campaigning on destroying our country. You can't be that blind.
LINK: North Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Cheri Beasley is a strong proponent of "ending the cash bail system," and during her time as a judge on the North Carolina Supreme Court, insisted that there is "great value in that premise" of dismantling the criminal justice system and restructuring it.
As outlined on Beasley's campaign website, the Tar Heel State Democrat supports "ending some mandatory minimums and ending the cash bail system particularly for nonviolent offenders."
Beasley, who was appointed to the state's Supreme Court in 2012 and concluded her tenure in December 2020 as chief justice, delivered the State of the North Carolina Judiciary address in July 2019 and touched on the subject, noting that "many judicial districts are evaluating their bail policies."
"Counties big and small, urban and rural, are changing the way they handle criminal cases pre-trial, and they are beginning to see positive results," Beasley said. "Jails are less crowded, defendants are keeping their jobs, and families are staying in their homes. These communities are finding that this process does not compromise their safety, and it keeps their taxes low. All across our state, thousands of North Carolinians are jailed every year because they cannot afford to pay a fine."
Furthering her point, Beasley said that the jailing of individuals who do not pay fines is "costly to the public" and "doesn't allow people to be out working."
In taking issue with the current criminal justice system in North Carolina and across America, Beasley also insisted during a August 2020 conversation with the General Baptist State Convention of North Carolina that there is "great value" in tearing down the current criminal justice system and rebuilding it.
Speaking to Rev. Greg Moss, the former president of GBSC, Beasley said that George Floyd's death "did not happen in vain" and claimed it "forced all of us to act progressively around how to do better in our systems."
When asked by Moss about the thought that there "needs to be more radical change, even in terms of tearing down to the bare bones and building back" the justice system, Beasely said, "You know, I think there's great value in that premise, I really do."
"We're doing a commission because we know these efforts have to be long-lasting," she added. "Rome wasn't built in a day. Racial disparities didn't start yesterday, and we really have to have a reckoning around this nation's history, wholistically, but also especially in our courts. We have not been the greatest guardians of the rule of law. It's important to acknowledge that, and it's important to do something about it."
Touting her support for "investing in reentry programs" and criminal justice reform, Beasley's website also states that she supports the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act that limited qualified immunity, as well as the Human Correctional Healthcare Act that granted Medicaid coverage to incarcerated individuals.
Crime has become an important concern for voters ahead of the November elections, with a poll last month indicating that they believe Republicans are more equipped to handle the issue that is now of more importance to them than abortion.
Beasley will face off in the state's November 8 election against Republican candidate Ted Budd in an effort to replace retiring GOP Sen. Richard Burr.
