  • You know what, you’re right. You’ve convinced me to put my hope in press releases.

    Biden sent out many press releases about a public option before he was elected, so I’ll put my hope in him and stop paying my health insurance premiums.

    Obama similarly sent out many press releases about holding climate change below 1.5 degrees and codifying Roe v Wade. What a relief! Now I don’t have to worry about climate change or women’s reproductive rights anymore!





  • You’re right, no one really cares about a public apology. Just like this entire story, it’s only words.

    What really matters is advocacy for those nonviolent drug “offenders”. They deserve release from jail, an end to probation, an expungement of criminal records, and reparations for the losses they suffered.

    Kamala issuing a pro-legalization press release is the path of least resistance for her. If she actually stood on principle she would advocate to expunge the criminal records of all nonviolent drug offenders that her DA office prosecuted. But even that is just the words of a politician- what really matters is policy change.


  • If a politician actually changes their mind that’s fine. If they change their mind to become pro-cannabis legalization, that’s great.

    But they shouldnt try to gaslight the populace into believing that this was their stance all along.

    If this was Kamala’s position all along, then her actions as District Attorney are very hypocritical.

    If she actually had a change of heart, she should apologize to the nonviolent victims she chose to prosecute and incarcerate.
