    The war on drugs created the current crisis.

    Being “against” a failed “solution” that was designed to incarcerate and create recidivism in a system that profited off the only legal form of slavery, is not stupid or a bad “strategy”.

    Morally, ethically, and pragmatically, it’s the right call to move to an actual solution.

    And there are a lot of issues that didn’t have speakers at the DNC.

      Cool. Name the DNC’s solution.

      I promise you its not as well named as “War on Drugs”.

          That’s not even a program and it certainly isn’t a link to the DNC platform either.

          We don’t need catchy names.

          Yes you do. This is fucking politics. Which is 99% about appearances. If you don’t look like you’re doing something, the sheep don’t notice.

          You have the fucking stupid mindset that loses elections.

          Thank fucking God that Kamala knew she had to be the first person to bring up Fentanyl in the debate. It was a bit round-about, but she got there and made sure to make the first strike early.

          Its not quite a policy platform, but it counts. She’s recognized the importance of appearances on this very, very important matter.


          Whether you agree with me or not, I think I can trust Kamala on it. I figured I should get back to you after I saw that moment in the debate early.
