Peachstapler posted:You would think a guy like Trump with such strong, almost irrational personal convictions against drugs would do the opposite of support legalization. I guess he's smart enough to realize that prohibition does absolutely nothing to deter use and just helps the cartels. Donald Trump posted:Trump argued in 1990 that the only way to win the War on Drugs was to legalize drugs and use the tax revenue to fund drug education programs. As he put it, "You have to take the profit away from these drug czars." I don't think his feelings about his brother dying young of substance abuse is something you should attack trump for btw

Fun fact: all criminal justice reform is painted by the right as an attack on police. Trump is definitely not into reforming poo poo as evidenced by him making no promises or statements in that regard

A vote of protest against Hillary puts a fascist in power and could lead to a 1933 Germany-like situation in the USA. This is the most serious and dangerous election in the last 150 years in this country, and wishful thinking, even well-intentioned, is what children who aren't able to judge consequences do, not what adults do who are fighting for the lives of their brothers and sisters. Divide up the Democratic vote and you will see: War with China Deportations of Muslims and Mexicans Student loan debtors in prison African-American Rights going back to 1963 Planned Parenthood shut down PP employees imprisoned or executed War with Mexico Increase in the number of people in prison Possible surrender of more of your Civil and Human Rights, not to mention your Constitutional Rights. This is not the time to be loving around with this sort of simplistic and non-strategic thinking. I don't want to go to prison and watch my wife executed because you're too immature to make a rational voting choice.

That's not happening, it's not some fundamental human rights issue like marriage equality. The realistic course of action is a repeal of the federal prohibition and cessation of funding for that portion of the drug war. Or, in other words, leaving it up to the states.

quote:Quigg bases his support on his belief that Clinton is pushing false promises on the campaign trail. Once she gets elected, he contends, her agenda will completely shift. even if we pretend it isn't obvious that this guy's switch from trump to hillary, which he didn't even bother to come up with an actual rationale for, is a tactical move to help trump with the disavowing, this doesn't exactly even the balance between the evidence that trump is the white nationalist candidate of choice and the evidence that hillary is actually secretly their totem-bearer Atrocious Joe posted:His foundation gave grants to some groups who later joined Black Lives Matter protests.

The Russian conspiracies about him at least make sense, as he probably does dislike Russia. ok i see the connection, thanks in general people who are bored and on the internet have a tendency to pretend we're in the 60s again. or the 30s

leaving legalization up to the states is basically Hillary Clintons position and everyone rightly drags her for it. but of course the people with toxic blood irony levels will trip over themselves to pretend that objective reality doesnt exist and Donald was blinking "smoke weed erryday" in morse code while saying that.

He can also attack her from the right with his commitment to the 2nd amendment. She's going to be fending off blows from every which way. The Liberal-Left and Conservative-Right marrying social and economic issues 100% has always been a curious unique feature of American politics, we're going to finally start seeing a decoupling.
