    My half-lib dad thinks they're saving it and marijuana legalization for right before the midterms. Literally playing with people's lives for political points. And I could see it backfiring for that reason.

        Your dad fell for the trap.

        I don't think he believes it's definitely going to happen, I think it's more "they could be doing this". He's even acknowledged that it's playing with people's lives. Basically just cope/hope.

      Yup, legitimately underestimating that they've already broken multiple promises to the people who will likely be apathetic to any more "promises".

      When it doesn't happen, do you think your half-lib dad will acknowledge it?

        Yeah probably, but he'll be more focused on/worrying about the fact that the Democrats just lost. He flip flops a lot between correct takes like recognizing Democrats don't actually do anything and "but we still have to vote blue you Bernie bros" shit.

        Before the primary he wanted Bernie to run third party and basically purposefully spoil the election. After the primary he had to vote for Biden in the general to stop Trump.

      My lib dad thought they were gonna do a full lockdown, but they were waiting until after the election to talk about it.
