Joe Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I feel like if I knew Biden would be this open to listening to the left, I would have been much more ok with him leading the polls early and late in the primary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't, and I've used Obama moving on police reform (esp. this) and gay marriage as reason enough to vote for Biden. But Biden isn't Obama! He's more conservative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema- Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 In some cases yes, in some cases no; but I don't think it's crazy to see a greater potential to push the white guy president saving us from trump more than the first black president. The first black president was never going to legalize marijuana, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Biden seems to actually oppose legalization, while Obama was faking his opposition to gay marriage. But on that note, Biden was the one who announced his support of it first, so I wouldn't be shocked -- though would still be ecstatic -- if he changed the dumb opposition to it.

PaladinSolo Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Biden/dems regularly destroy Trump/GOP on trust with healthcare policies in polling, so clearly the best way to win in November is to do an extremely unpopular healthcare thing during a pandemic, lol.

Yeah Biden forced Obama's hand on gay marriage. I'm really hopeful he'll come around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch Fox News, defunding the police is like 50% of their coverage right now. The left wants to remove all police is all they fucking talk about. They even talk about if Biden wins, we won't have police anymore! It's a fucking farce. No mainstream democrats are calling for any of this stuff. Defund the police doesn't mean what it sounds like anyway. But screw all the nuance and subtly. If Biden wins, roving gangs of black men will assault you and there is nothing you can do. This is their current narrative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Trump to accept GOP nomination in Jacksonville on anniversary of KKK's "Ax Handle Saturday" attack Quote President Donald Trump on Thursday announced that he will accept the Republican Party's nomination this August in Florida. His address to the nation will happen in Jacksonville on the 60th anniversary of a Ku Klux Klan attack in the city known as "Ax Handle Saturday." On Aug. 27, 1960, a KKK-led mob of hundreds of white people attacked black civil rights protesters holding sit-ins at whites-only lunch counters in the city, chasing them through the streets and beating them with bats and ax handles stashed in Hemming Park. At the time, the city's mayor — Haydon Burns, a white man — suppressed the story, and the attack was not commemorated until 2001, when a marker was laid in the park. The New York Times characterized it as "one of the darkest days in the city's history." Intentional, or are there just that many major racist attacks in the South's history that you can't pick a weekend in a city without running over the anniversary of one?

Ricofoley Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I sincerely doubt Donald Trump himself knows what Ax Handle Saturday is, but I'm 100% sure that, say, Steven Miller knows what Ax Handle Saturday is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was easier to be for same sex marriage because you didn’t have the risk of more abuse and car crashes and possible long term health issues. What’s odd is being for letting states set their own policy without Federal regulation. At this point, Federal legalization seems like the only reasonable option to me if you want to control and regulate the market. The patchwork of state regs is not sufficient in my view.

At this point, Federal legalization seems like the only reasonable option to me if you want to control and regulate the market. The patchwork of state regs is not sufficient in my view. I'm still pretty flabbergasted about all the weird carve-outs that get trotted out as seemingly serious policy proposals. Like letting VA doctors recommend medical marijuana if it's legal in the relevant state. The federal government's official stance would be...that it's a super serious big-time federal felony, but that SOME doctors on the federal payroll in SOME states could advise SOME patients to commit a federal felony, dependent on state laws that the feds insist don't actually carry any legal weight? How does anyone tell themselves they're a serious policy person while trotting out such flagrant nonsense? On top of that, it's frustrating that federal decriminalization seems to be held up primarily, from what I can tell, by it being conflated with the bullshit half-measure known as local/state decriminalization. It's just bad sausage making, the feds just ACTUALLY getting out of the way to let the states do their thing would make way more sense than what we actually have. Federal decriminalization would give the banks something better than a weird DOJ pinky promise to work with, and it would just overall turn it into a clear 21st Amendment situation where the states can do whatever they want. And I think is where anyone with a pulse sees federal marijuana policy going anyhow that direction anyhow, and literally ANYTHING seems infinitely better the weird legal no man's land that we've instead carved out for marijuana. And just overall...even just in terms of the spirit of what all these weird policy kludges seem designed to do, it's still more effective to just deschedule it federally so that the states can do as they will on the matter.
