This would have been a baby step 10 years ago if we’re being generous. California’s medical marijuana program has been a legal gray area since 1996. So what we can expect federal legalization in another 20 years at this rate? If biden touts this on the campaign trail as an accomplishment I’m going to lose my god damn mind.
This is so long overdue it doesn’t deserve celebration, it deserves a “what took so long, this isnt even controversial”. If your partner/roommate has been telling you to do the dishes for 20 years and you finally wash some you don’t get to turn around and go “look at me, I did 20% of the dishes! aren’t I great!”
Being happy with too little too late is exactly why climate change is going be as catastrophic as it will be so I really don’t get how that makes your case. If biden wanted to he could have pressured the dea to deschedule cannabis completely. He didn’t. The DNC hates to lose one of the carrots from their stick.
Why are you acting like “appointing a DEA administrator that is pro-legalization” and “make public statements encouraging them to deschedule cannabis” are somehow unthinkable and totalitarian?
Please give me 1 example of Biden encouraging his DEA to deschedule cannabis because I can’t find one and doubt it exists.
*downvoting me won’t make that statement exist. 2022 Biden statement on marijuana reform Notable absence: “marijuana should not be on the CSA list of scheduled drugs”. Interesting inclusion: ‘LSD is a good example of what should be a schedule 1 drug’
But aren’t people saying that almost all saying they intentionally steered the boat into the support not that it was controlled demolition or something?
Except the US Airforce uses it as a gender neutral title, which is extremely relevant when the subtext is you’re talking about whether you’re misgendering an almost certainly closeted trans person by calling them “airman”.
I should have said “as a title used by the airforce” but I figured that was implied.
If I vote(solid blue here so not much practical point) I’m doing a write in for president and any pro-israel candidates down ballot. I would not be upset by Biden losing to trump by the margin of votes for “stop the genocide” in swing states. Preferably with a blue congress but whatever it takes to drive the point home for dems that they cannot cross this line and still have electoral viability.
Damn thats crazy, maybe the centrist dems should have voted for a candidate in the primary that wouldn’t abandon the critical “anti-genocide” voting bloc. I’ll gladly take a term of trump if it means less shit dem candidates in the future.
Leftists and progressives have 0 leverage against centrist democrats if our votes are unconditional, if supporting a genocide isn’t a line too far then nothing is.
You’re not going to shame me into voting for the guy arming a genocide lol. If the centrist dems don’t like losing votes from the left they should stop choosing unviable candidates in the primary.
But even ignoring any long term goals to drag the democrats left kicking and screaming I’m just not going to vote for a guy that armed a genocide. Not holding my nose for that.
a pudu. the first time I read the image it felt like reading a meme in spanish that’s close enough to english to be legible. Had to reread it to realize yes it was english and a pudu actually is a thing.
