I don’t know if people even think about voting in terms of campaign promises anymore. They never pull through. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me every fucking 2 years for my entire adult life, shame on me.
Just keep it honest: Not fascist vs fascist. Weed will stay illegal, climate will continue to spiral, wealth gap will continue to increase, healthcare will continue to be abusive, abortion will continue to rely on flimsy court decisions, etc. But at least we’ll keep having elections, so we’ve got that going for us.
With all due respect, he did everything in his power and spent a lot of political capital executing on the topics in question.
Biden shocked me on what he did for pot, and what he tried to do for student loans. I thought it was hot air.
The question is whether Biden is a fascist because the Far Right sued him and won over student loans, or because the DEA continues to laugh at him when he asks them to change Weed's classification (because he cannot, he can only stop prosecutions and free prisoners, which he has done)
No he didnt
No he didnt what?
Didn't blanket-pardon people in prison for possession? Didn't order the stop of federal possession arrests? Didn't formally request the DEA change the ranking for Marijuanna?
Didn't shock me?
What didn't he do?
This is what happens when the system boils down to two parties. Neither party has a reason to fulfill any promises because what's the voter going to do, vote for the other party that's even less aligned with their political views? GOP is definitely putting that to the test to see how extremist they can get while still having some modicum of power, but what if everyone does end up voting democrat? Well then there's no reason to democrats to promise anything because it's not like people are going to vote for anyone else. The entire system is rotten.
