Purity tests all the way down and itās why populism never actually works. You canāt be happy, even a little bit, about incremental progress if the āreal problemā hasnāt been dealt with. That problem will always be broad and impossible to truly achieve outside of theory. You end up with an ideology just centered around anger and despair.
People who do this shit maintain positions they know are practically unworkable because the thing they fear most is actually having to govern and make difficult choices in the real world and then answer for the consequences of those decisions. Itās much easier to just loudly state a preference for fantasy.
It just rings extremely hollow after he spent the last three years shoveling money at state police departments that are going to keep on harassing and brutalizing people by the tens of thousands for marijuana possession, not to mention the fact that he could reschedule and effectively legalize marijuana on a federal level but chooses not to do so
More generally speaking, you just canāt be surprised that people are skeptical of Biden when his supporters constantly ignore context and straight up lie to pretend that heās someone heās not
As opposed to fucking what? Trump? Because more and worse Trump is what youād get if you didnāt have Biden.
Heās not perfect. But heās managed to keep this crumbling nation together for at least a few more years. Every single option on the Republican side is a nightmare compared to Biden. If the Democrats can come up with someone better than Biden who can also defeat the Republican nominee, great, letās do it. Until then, we should all remember that thereās a huge fucking cliff from where we are now vs where weād be without Biden.
Donāt get complacent. Donāt take it for granted.
the fact that he could reschedule and effectively legalize marijuana
No he canāt. He can direct the DEA to look into rescheduling the drug, a process he has already started. But he doesnāt have the authority to unilaterally force them to reschedule it. He could theoretically Saturday Night Massacre the DEA into doing it, but they really wouldnāt be a good look.
