It seems like the only way to get poo poo done is Tea Party-esque, "I will burn this motherfucker to the ground," style hoopla. Unless you're dealing with someone actually interested in your agenda. Then 'incrementalism' switches from a neolib con job to actual incrementalism. Edit: The comments on that tweet are disgusting. Women and minorities are just subhuman props to them, like human-shaped talking sticks.

I think I'm the only that guy here. I'm not really single issue on pot, it's just being bad on the issue is a dealbreaker. Like, I wouldn't vote for John Edwards because he was loving his mistress when his wife was dying of cancer, but I'm not a single issue voter on not making the life of your partner a living hell as they die.

There's something to be said for supporting candidate x over candidate y if x supports marijuana legalization and they're both otherwise the horrorshows the DNC is inevitably going to wheel out strapped upright to a gurney wearing a muzzle. That said I also think the single issue weed people are silly

Probably has to do with the fact that single-issue weed voters are easily coopted by libertarians. I'm personally offended by the states' and municipalities' rights aspect of it, since that means individual states or even towns or counties can still prosecute against people. Remember when we made of Ron Paul for wanting to destroy the Federal War on Drugs only the start 50 state level Wars on Drugs almost a decade ago?

^ That was me, and it wasn't single issue on weed.Condiv posted:he's not even pro-weed from what i've read. he's pro paying for weed legalization advocacy? or something? something about getting individual states to legalize it. which is about as worthwhile as hillary's plan to encourage public option on a state by state basis His plan is to federally legalize and encourage the states to do the same. It's the most progressive plan I've seen proposed on the issue and goes further than Bernie's proposal.

Hey here's an idea...how about you not do something that's illegal instead of bitching about it all the time? I loving hate potheads. And my generation for being such loving potheads. Cheap escapism for people incapable of coping with the realities of life. And they're like "Hey bro man it's a free country" when they find out doing something illegal will get you arrested.

That's just off the top of my head and I didn't even touch on medicine and hemp's remaining uses. Edit: Even if they're single-issue as a lifestyle consideration, I'd still weight their position according to the above. If I were British and single-issue about free, unfettered internet porn as a lifestyle consideration, the position's seriousness would be still benefit from freedom and privacy considerations.

From the context I figured it was referring to fly-over states with all their corn fields. Like, Kamala is the bland and generic fly-over state candidate. Kind of like being milquetoast.
