The government has destroyed people's lives for over eighty years with cannabis criminalization. They've raked in untold trillions off fundraising, scare tactics, donations and lobbying.
Libs are already negotiating against themselves by saying that. They think the government is going to tax the weed and somehow not use the money for the defense budget?
I can't really pinpoint why this one really sticks in my craw.
Its like the old saying goes: "give a liberal a magic lamp, and they'll negotiate down to one wish and use it for something they think Republicans would like"
When it comes to incrementalist shit I accept that I will have to use and hear the dumbest arguments you've ever seen. It's okay so long as they do what you want.
It's how you convince a landlord to sign your anti-landlord petition, lol. Play on their incoherence.
It's the only way out of this one, but it's so crazy how no politicians will just do this obvious lay up
Lib politicians can't criticize the defense budget right now, we just got done manufacturing consent for infinite inflation and weapons to spite Putin.
Dems in office have never been good on foreign policy, but I miss when Dems on the ground were at least protesting against the wars in the ME. Dem voters have even got hawkish. As soon as I noticed the shift, right about Obama's first term, that's when things started clicking for me. I was always loosely left aligned, but voting for, and getting shafted by the Obama era was super eye opening. It was my first time voting. It felt so electric back then when compared to the eight years of Bush we just lived through. Like we had finally turned a page and people were engaged in new ways because of the advent of social media. I'll bet that's how trump supporters felt that night in 2016.
