when is the federal government gonna end the song and dance and just legalize weed already
if this happens then Biden will win by Assad and Putin margins
@astrid it's the nuclear button for dems when they realize they can't hold basic human rights over the heads of their voters anymore
@astrid it won't because there's too much money on the line and in a #cleptocracy like the #USA where one can't be politically successful without accepting #bribes, the #ForProfitPrison-based industry is a big donor.

@astrid #Biden is part of the problem, not the solution:

@kkarhan well yeah I know, he's like the worst possible president that's better than trump
@astrid yeah - basically the shittyness of a shunted political system where the only vote options are "rampant facism" and "lesser evil" not "good" because good got paywalled out of the race...
@kkarhan I mean fuck, the Democratic party is actually just controlled opposition at this point. There's very obvious and easy solutions and they don't have the balls to do it, or more like their donors don't like them doing it

@astrid I guess mostly the latter one...

As we cound see with #REDMAP and the rapid onset of facism withing the Republicans, including the push for climate change denial [whereas it was previously acknowledged] is solely based off big donors like the #KochBrothers.
