    And who sent black men to jail for smoking marijuana when they were California's Attorney General? honk-enraged

      clearly it was their own personal choices which sent them to jail for smoking marijuana. it has nothing to do with the broader system. everything just happens in a vacuum. if anyone tries to do any sort of material analysis or even simply connect dots, i will call them gay.

        There's a certain kind of legalist lib who admits that weed should be legal but still supports keeping everyone ever locked up for weed behind bars because they Broke The Law and the law is not mocked.

    Did almost the exact same thing ahead of the mid-terms: https://www.yahoo.com/news/kamala-harris-record-marijuana-prosecutor-173249390.html

    At the end of the day, calling Harris out on her previous role in convicting folks for marijuana crimes isn’t entirely unfair. But it’s also pretty misleading to pretend that she pulled a switcheroo on the issue just in time for the midterms.

    I wonder how worried her team is about her numbers with black men. It really is amazing to me how polling and focus groups made the dems a total mockery especially weathervanes like Kamala. They'll promote anything if they think the data says it might be a winner.

      I wonder if they're using AI yet for campaign data

        I hadn't even thought of it but it's a new fresh hell out of Hellworld so they must be. And win or lose - the democrats will talk about "The AI told us X, Y, & Z..." If they lose - they'll shoot the messenger. They'll blame AI - this emerging technology - for leading them astray. If they win - they will say how smart, prescient, and wise they were to utilize AI - this futuristic technology.

        Depends on what you mean by AI. ML in general, certainly. LLMS, however, might not be used in data analysis because they suck with data processing.

      I've been sounding the alarm bells around the Democrat's messaging towards black men for months now, and I'm not even American!

    And force you to pay $100k just to apply to be able to sell it.

    Oh and you can't grow it in your yard without it being in a locked greenhouse and away from anyone under 21

    spoiler: no she wont

    even if she wasn't the big pig or whatever her dumb ass nickname was, no US president is ever going to do this because it's a cashcow both for the private prison industry and it keeps alcohol/tobacco companies in business
