Sounds like he wants to make yet another organization that will eventually be funded by the DNC meaning it won't be allowed to do any campaigning for any candidates that aren't DNC approved. Also grassroots so we don't have to pay people.

I think paying attention to politics for the past decade broke my brain and all I can see is the worst in everything political...

No, that's just an example of the pattern recognition that basically every person comes pre-equipped with working as intended

True. I’m in TX21 and I don’t even think people like Chip Roy but Wendy isn’t the right challenger. Kosper might win if he ran again

I guess they're both half-right, since slavery was the most intensely divisive issue the founding fathers had, which is why they deferred it for a hundred years, and it's especially relevant since all of those hundred years of compromises only managed to further entrench slavery, despite all the people who acknowledged that it should end eventually.

I don't know why it'd behoove a very moderate candidate to push the idea that everybody was wrong in the past but they just gradually got better with the progression of time without any hard work to destroy the opposition and actually change things, or why a very terrible person would want to push the idea that everything was good in the past and didn't need any changing at all.

Seems like they were in freefall before that, I think the hemp thing is just a convenient excuse for DAs who would rather not waste limited resources prosecuting low level marijuana offenders while the rest of the country legalizes it.

Well here we go, Austin PD just confirmed the guy who assaulted a random person then stabbed a Freebirds' employee to death on Friday was a homeless person.

Abbott of course didn't wait for them to confirm but he's going to go all in on homeless-bashing now.

I mean, if you accuse every person in Austin who commits a crime or disrupts the peace of being homeless, eventually you'll get a few cases. No one will remember or care that the others were inaccurate.

I work in the legal field. Prosecutions were basically put on hiatus to see what pending legislation got passed. The decrim bill (that Dan Patrick killed after passing the house 2-1) would have basically stopped any prosecution for a Class B weed charge in all but the most redass of counties. People didn't even realize what happened with the hemp bill until after it was already passed. It wasn't even hardly on the radar.

I wouldn't say it's a convenient excuse to stop prosecuting. Any DA that was inclined to implement some kind of policy on not prosecuting weed cases already had. For everyone else it's that there genuinely isn't the capability to test these cases in state labs and hiring a private lab is prohibitively expensive when you consider just how many marijuana charges come through.

Anyways, loving legalize it already.

Just glancing through this guy's tweets and there's no way that another candidate even remotely cares about this dude's pet issues as much as Cristina but sorry highly-esoteric hair-splitting idpol infighting over insanely bad-faith readings of hackneyed stump jokes is the most important problem facing our state.
