It works fine if you think that liberals are to the left of communists, or that there is a logical and linear path from liberalism to fascism that leads through socialism

racists shouldnt be given a pass to post with impunity, regardless of their political allegiances. people who post racist things, as well as the people who constantly dance on the edge of saying racist things without coming right out and saying it, ought to be banned imo

The worst racists are the ones who never actually say anything racist.

Don't forget "I'm With Her" and "Stronger Together", both slogans that said nothing and are just the most corporate, focus-grouped, inoffensive slogans one could pick.

It's sad that literally the only thing in the whole campaign she seemed genuine about was the basket of deplorables thing that helped sink her.

It's the same as Romney, the only time he sounded genuine and not like a political robot was in the 47% recording

Clinton and Romney, united in their honest contempt for the American people.

They were not able to stop the "legal to own and grow your own" provisions, but they have managed to push back "legal to buy" to 2018! They seem to be committed to making this an important midterm issue with them on the losing side.

If you want to know why the partial implementation, worth noting an important statistic (prior to legalization):

Black people are arrested for possession at 3.3 times the rate of whites here in MA. But arrests for possession were already down over 90% before legalization happened.

But for sale? The rate is 7.1 times higher. If you really want to arrest black people in particular, that's the legal limitation you REALLY want to stick around.

I don't know if they are still arresting people for it or not, but it seems like they are aiming for an end goal where they can continue arresting "distributors" while letting "consumers" off the hook (read distributors as black and consumers as white)

There was an official referendum and constant pressure from advocacy groups. I am not sure how much more public pressure we could apply that would actually help.

They just really really do not want to do it. Nor do they want to talk about not wanting to do it. They just want people to stop thinking about it so the issue goes away and they can keep it as illegal as possible.

(But when they disenfranchised felons they whined and whined about how they didn't want to do it but it was the will of the electorate and passed the legislation in like a loving week)
