So the Biden campaign is running on abortion and pot. Yeah, I’m OK with that.
And Genocide
If she hits a gravity bong on stage, fuck it, Harris can take the wheel.
I’m guessing there was nobody more relevant than Fat Joe after Killer Mike became persona non grata and Snoop favors Trump.
What did Killer Mike do now?
Last I heard is he got arrested at the Grammys for pushing over a security guard?
At least nobody else willing to stand next to the DARE cop in the auditorium.
Eh, that was kind of overblown.
She had more prosecutions than the prior DA, but most weren’t jail time, it was just get caught pay a fine.
And it makes sense when that became a thing, people were riskier with it and got caught more.
She’s been pro legalization for almost a decade.
They’re not doing enough right now, but it’s not like she was some hardcore soldier in the drug war.
Biden on the other hand…

He was behind a lot of the early 90s police bullshit that we’re still dealing with today.
What’s fucked up is it coincided with the same drop in violent crime from banning leaded gas that every country saw. So some people still think that backwards ass shit works Plus, they were usually alive for decades before the ban and exposed to all that lead for decades…
Shit fucks with your brain, especially as you age
Like I said in another comment.
If she does a bong rip on stage, she’s got my vote.
Convenient timing given everything else going on. You know they’re really scrambling to get the youth vote when they start talking about nationwide marijuana legalization.
All they seem to do is talk, zero intent behind the words.
The grid-locked Congress could also make some progress on cannabis reform this year, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer telling reporters last week that the bipartisan SAFER Banking Act — a bill that would expand access to traditional banking and financial institutions for legal cannabis businesses — could get a vote on the floor before the November election.
If Biden declassified it, then there’d be no restrictions on banking…
If a state doesn’t specifically have a law making it illegal, declassifying federal would make it defacto legal.
It’s honestly that simple, and declassifying it was his compromise four years ago when voters wanted legalization.
He’s spent four years looking into it…
And now he’s promising again to look into it
Just take the easy common sense win that does zero harm. He keeps fucking up these easy issues.
He wants to wait for election season so voters “remember it.” It’s a fairly common tactic in politics.
Unfortunately for him lots of voters can remember the same promise from four years ago.
He may think waiting four years is a good plan, but some voters are going to wonder if four years from now he’ll be bothered to fufil any of this campaigns promises
Especially if it’s gets to election day and he’s still just “looking into it”.
Voters remember shit, and waiting till the last minute often doesn’t work out.
It’s much easier to just do what you can. There’s a palpable hesitancy with Biden, really anyone in their 70s or older. We don’t need someone we have a possible chance of getting to do the right thing, we need someone that wants to try as hard as they can to do the right thing
08 Obama happened, and it’s literally me the DNC wants to erase from history how well a young person can do with a progressive campaign and it’s not just because they have the physical energy to actually be on the campaign trail.
Just to make sure you see it, he’s doing more than looking into it. He’s on the last step to reclassification and the final decision rests with the DEA.

ETA: ETA: it also seems you didn’t read the article where it specifically states that Biden ordered the process to reschedule to begin?
final decision rests with the DEA
Lol…
Biden just managed to get every single federal agency to return to office…
It’s been insane when all you people who have never worked a day in the federal government think Biden has no control over agencies but still fearmonger that trump would be in charge of them all if he wins.
The president has as much power over agencies as he wants to.
Biden could order the DEA to reschedule today, or he could spend four years asking them to look into it.
That’s the entire fucking point you don’t seem to understand.
He’s not trying because he doesn’t want it done
If the Democrats wanted to do something for the people, they’d really lean into legalizing cannabis at the federal level.
We need workers rights more than legal weed, but you’ll notice the Democrats never talk about that.
Sure they do! They talked about how if rail workers were allowed to strike, the entire economy would instantly collapse forever.
If rail workers are so critical to the global economy, how about we may them their worth and give them the benefits they need. Weird right?
