If states allowed to outlaw it, then some will but enforce only against blacks (and maybe Hispanics).
The one and only time I was in Mississippi, I had a beer in a tavern that had displayed on the mirror behind the bartender, a state issued “Black Market Liquor License”. I assume that MS was dry and was using it to control blacks. Rinse and repeat with marijuana.
But this will not be a blip on Biden’s campaign.
I’m not going to defend Mississippi’s racial history but those are rather strange assumptions.
You sound like a trump supporter. Are you asserting the notion that Hillary would do better in 2020 than Bernie? Let me just clarify your position here
Hillary clinton is more favorable than Bernie Sanders, according to you? Sorry to tell you but a lot of us find that notion hilarious because it comes off as a joke.
No, that does not “more or less legalize it”
It’s well known here that i am a diehard Democrat since 1976 and was a delegate for Scoop Jackson. Of course i did vote for Arnie for Governator.
No, I am asserting that Hillary did better in 2016 than Bernie would have.
The 'favorable" ratings were false due to the fact that instead of using the GOP hate machine and Russian trolls to attack Bernie, they HELPED him. If Bernie had won the nomination the attacks would have made Sanders lose by a landslide.
I’m not DrDeth but I’ll offer my views.
Yes, Hillary Clinton was a stronger candidate than Bernie Sanders. We know this because they ran against each other in several primaries - and she got more votes.
If Sanders couldn’t get more votes from Democrats in the primaries, he never would have gotten more votes among all voters in the general election.
Regardless, I don’t the Biden Marijuana thread has to contain a “Bernie wuz robbed” hijack.
Let me ask you this, let’s say we’re at the DNC. Hillary jumped in the race and is there speaking about 2020. How do you think the crowd responds?
Now say, same place same time, but Hillary isn’t in the picture and it’s Sanders up there doing his thing. How do you think the crowd responds?
Now if you’re going to honestly tell me you believe the crowd goes in an uproar of support for Hillary but starts booing sanders, then we’re on two totally different planets when it comes to this.
Also you don’t know that, but what you do know if you’ve looked it up, Bernie Sanders pulls more trump supporters than any other candidate, and there was an entire movement of Bernie or Bust people who refused to vote hillary along with many more who simply did not like her, so those people either went independent, republican, or didn’t vote. Bernie is the guy who increases voter turn out, and dominates among young voters. Even with everything against him in 2016, he managed to come out so strong he literally set the playing field for 2020. You even have centrists bending a knee like Pete trying their damnest to appeal to these bernie voters by making up bs throwing “M4A” into their healthcare plan. Bernie would have destroyed Trump in 2020, and the reason why we have him in office today is because the DNC dropped the ball trying to keep their favorable people in power.
And you don’t feel the tiniest bit silly about being so confident in your alternate history story?
LOL. I’m going to use this sentence when I can’t win an argument.
Exactly why we dont like the Bernie Bros. You guys gave us 4 years of trump because of this. :mad:
Why the hell are we rehashing Bernie/Hillary in a Biden and weed thread.
Knock off the hijack.
Awesome. I’m gonna get rich off the royalties.
Heh.
Well hopefully if Biden gets pushed to the general election, then let’s just hope Trump doesn’t decide to appeal to libertarians and leftists by kneecapping biden on marjiuana and proposes full legalization.
That’s a hope, i’d rather not have to have. How do I defend such a moronic position on weed being a gateway drug to someone who’d rather not vote or vote independent if their only choice was Biden or Trump? Seriously, how are we or I should say, yall going to defend this? By saying it’s better than nothing lol?
You seem to be so radical on this that you are super duper overestimating lefty rage on this. Leftists, who are not pot activists, will be perfectly comfortable with this. You are way, way, way off base.
Wanted to add: Libertarians too, I should think, would be comfortable. Decriminalization is mostly good enough, especially if states can legalize. Probably better than legalization for libertarians in some ways. Federal legalization would come with big fat rules.
This kind of shit is going to cost us the election if the DNC decides to rig their election and force Biden into the nomination like they did hillary.
A vote for biden, is a vote for trump.
Biden really needs to chill out. If only there were some sort of natural remedy that he could use.
My therapist said that she knows quite a few people getting good results with CBD oil for anxiety. It’s available here in NC and other states where pot is not legal in any form. Since we are in the Bible belt I don’t expect any pot to be legal for a long while.
