Cannabis is currently classified along with drugs like heroin and LSD. The administration is expected to reschedule it into a category that includes Tylenol and steroids.
I answered it before you asked it. Trump’s base is loyal to Trump first, and America second. They won’t sway regardless of his convictions, let alone international relations with Israel. Encouraging voter disengagement, abstaining from voting, or voting uncommitted would only fall on the ears of the voters opposing Trump, thereby improving his chances of winning.
A non-vote from a voter who otherwise would have voted against Trump is a vote for Trump. This is how this election must be seen with polls this close and civil rights, international war, and climate change on the line. Stop encouraging voter disengagement unless your goal is another Trump presidency.
civil rights, international war, and climate change on the line.
Those aren’t “on the line” because they aren’t considerations for either one of these candidates.
You’re just arguing to perpetuate the very system that brought us to this point. Don’t try to claim “that’s just how it works” either as it only works that way because of people like you ensuring its survival.
Trump repealed 112 environmental regulations, sending us back over a decade, that Biden has been working hard to replace.
Trump left the Paris Accord, which Biden has signed agreement to.
Trump repealed the Obama-era rights for gender-affirming care that Biden just replaced.
Trump repealed net neutrality, which Biden just reinstated.
Trump stated that Russia should be allowed to attack anyone that doesn’t pay enough to NATO, and told Orbán that he intends to pull support from Ukraine.
Yet the climate change is still getting worse with no concrete action to turn things around.
Gender affirming care is now being banned across the country.
Minorities can no longer receive preferential treatment in hiring or schooling to boost their engagement in areas they’ve historically been excluded from.
Women no longer have the right to abortions.
Net neutrality can just be repealed again by the next FCC chairperson.
Russia continues their invasion of Ukraine in addition to Israel now invading Palestine with the US blocking any NATO resolutions to end the conflicts.
Again, none of this stuff is “on the line” if you’re going to continue to vote for one of these two right-wing parties unless your goal is to perpetuate the suffering.
You can always vote however you want I’m not trying to change that I’m just trying to get you to understand that your actions may not have your desired end result and why.
We agree on what needs to happen just not the methods.
Can you explain how voting for Biden is “avoiding 2016 pt. 2?” It seems “2016 pt. 2” keeps happening anyway because people insist that we keep doing the same thing over and over again.
Do you sincerely not see a difference in the last 4 years as opposed to the four prior? We’ve had an increase action on health Care, student debt, decriminalization of marijuana, environmental action and a whole lot more.
I’m not saying it’s perfect I’m just saying he’s the best option we’ve got and if you want to sway him more in the direction you want then in the meantime pressuring Congress will allow you to do that.
Lack of votes don’t pressure anyone only votes do.
The only difference I’ve noticed is the lack of daily headlines regarding some new ‘gaffe’ committed by the president.
This vague list of action might as well be meaningless as it is little more than half measures and virtue signaling. Healthcare is still as expensive as it ever was, college is still as expensive as it ever was, marijuana is already legal in 1/2 the country and medically legal in 4/5th of the country, climate change is still rapidly getting worse, homelessness is increasing, housing prices are increasing, wages are still suppressed, unions are still suppressed, women, minorities, and LGBT people now have fewer rights.
Biden is only the best option we’ve got if you limit your support to one of two individuals out of 330 million citizens.
Lack of votes is the only way to pressure someone. How would anyone feel pressured to do anything after they’ve already received your vote? It’s not like you can take it back after the fact. This is precisely why neither of these two parties has to do anything beneficial in order to win elections. They deceive you into trapping yourself in a box where only two candidates exist while banking on the fact that you’d never vote for the other one.
If you want change, you actually have to change your actions. It’s not going to happen by doing the same thing you’ve always done.
I’m sorry but evidence does not support your claims, there are plenty of white papers to support the theory that votes and indeed the demographics that vote the most have the most sway in political policy especially in the US.
I’m saying you have a choice to make between two candidates, it shouldn’t be that narrow and we should try to change that but for now under the system we’ve been given that is our options barring violent protest.
Or you can choose to act upon any other apparatus of the political system such as Congress or municipal government. Not voting is an ineffective means of asserting your political intent.

As I said above, they won’t.

Come on. It’s obvious you’re helping Trump.
To be honest due to the many holes in their position I am almost assured that is their intent.
Encouraging others to not cast a vote for an elector is the literal definition of voter disengagement. You’re not fooling anyone here.

Yes if a republican didn’t vote it would be support for Biden, that is essentially how it boils down
