Demonstrably untrue. He did not support all parts of that bill.
Biden: "The bill also included things I didn’t like. I didn’t support the provision the president wanted in called three strikes and you’re out. Didn’t support it then, don’t support it now."
"Biden is on record at the time as saying he supported a three-strikes provision for “serious [violent] felonies against a person,” but he was against including nonviolent offenses and expressed concern that minor crimes could get swept up in the measure."
"Biden objected to Lott’s definition of “violent felony” as a crime that included the use or threat of physical force against someone punishable by more than one year imprisonment. Biden said that meant the provision could apply to someone who gets into a fistfight in a national park, making their assault a federal felony. He said he had no problem with the provision applying to “a three-time rapist.”"
Biden also suggested limiting the provision to crimes punishable by a decade of prison time or more, according to the Associated Press, which reported on Feb. 23, 1994, that Biden had said “screwy amendments” had been added on the Senate floor. The AP reported: “‘Let’s not take a really solid proposal and because of a half-dozen screwy proposals, trash the whole thing,’ Biden said, urging the House panel to help him rid the bill of those amendments.”
“But quite frankly, I don’t think I will prevail. … I’ve watched how the process works. I am not at all hopeful there will be [enough] senators prepared to vote with me.”
Biden did support $6 billion in funding for state prison construction, but not the $10 billion that was part of the final bill. His campaign says the $4 billion difference is what he means when he says he “didn’t support more money to build state prisons.”
In 2008, Biden said the 100-to-1 ratio was “arbitrary, unnecessary, and unjust,” and acknowledged that legislation he helped draft was “part of the problem that I have been trying to solve since then.”
etc.
From the same article on another of your pet topics: "“He opposed the way we went to war and the way the war was being carried out,” the statement continued. “He has for many years called his vote a mistake and takes full responsibility for it."
That is him today. The current Joe Biden. Not spreading hateful rhetoric.

AGAIN, this is what supporting your claims looks like. As you can see, you don't actually know anything about what Joe Biden supports.

if you dont that is fine. we have a different moral calculus.
You can try this whole thing again now that you see what actual adult conversation is supposed to look like. If you want. But I'm certainly going to make sure to preserve your comments here so people can see your pathetic attempts even if you do manage to do better in the future.
