President Joe Biden stands to make significant political gains if marijuana is rescheduled under his administrative directive, according to a new survey that reveals majority support for the reform. It also found that marijuana enjoys greater favorability with voters compared to Biden and former President Donald Trump. The poll conducted by Lake Research Partners and […]
In theory the two are supposed to be aligned. Political will is supposed to go up when the politicians do what’s right and down when they do wrong. That’s what is going on here but I agree that they aren’t usually aligned.
Liberal cope. Maybe in 2028, maybe in 2032, certainly he/she will need to utilize this card in 2036? Wait wait but what if they wanted to pull that shit in 2040?.. Fuck
Lol he’s actually taken steps to reschedule it, I know you probably wish we were in a dictatorship where Biden could just say, “weed is now legal, Trump will now be put in jail, and top republicans are to be killed” but we don’t live in that world thankfully.
He started the process to reschedule marijuana in 2022, with the last update being from the DEA on December 2023 being that they are reviewing whether to reschedule marijuana and what to reschedule it as.
I assume if Biden just signed an executive order to change it, it would have been held up in the courts and probably overturned because of not going through a formal process ( imagine if Biden could just unilaterally make fentanyl street legal).
That’s literally the process he’s going to now. Not to mention it’s actually beneficial for him politically.
It’s pretty sad how little you know about politics, yet you feel the need to discuss it.
It’s not even what’s right in full. Rescheduling helps get us towards legalization someday but rescheduling probably also means people are still going to be sitting in jail for possession until well after 2028.
That’s kind of inevitable, and not such a bad thing. The president is one person. One person shouldn’t be deciding what is right arbitrarily. For the president to be looking at what the people want, that’s a good thing. Now, our democratic systems are deeply flawed, so that “what the people want” and “what improves electoral chances” are not as closely tied as they should be, but that’s another matter.
Ah yes, because it’s not about doing what is right, it’s about political gain. Fuck america so so much.

It’s about doing what is right, but waiting until it’s most politically beneficial before doing it

Genuinely cute you think Biden of all people would even reclassify let alone decriminalize 🤣

Lip service works wonders on the libs it seems
Would clear up some problems for Hunter, at least
I mean, democracy is supposed to align those two needs.

Voters don’t reward doing the right thing at the wrong time.
Why not both, though. Plus not letting Trump be the president (which happens through political gain) is doing what is right.
