Fwiw I do think that broad decriminalization could work in the context of a country that actually gives a shit about the wellbeing of its people. In the US context though? Even if decriminalization could pass into law you'd never be able to get enough people on board to fund the necessary social/medical support systems to make it work.
Honestly, no notes. Any time the libs in my life want to talk policy with me - virtually any policy toward improving things, since today's greatest problems are the ones that capital is invested in maximizing - the issue of dismantling the Great Satan and the drawing the rest of the owl implied in that become the first part of any proposal
So, I don't tend to make proposals anymore so much as just eroding their sense that the US is the best country, then that it's at least a decent country, then that it's at least not an especially bad country like the CSA or Nazi Germany. It's gone okay, but I think real erosion is a good bit faster
No worries Comrade, no offense taken.
