Republicans Double Down on Failed Drug War

 

 

REPUBLICANS ARE STUPEFYINGLY WRONG AGAIN, WHICH IS NOTHING NEW

Let’s be VERY clear.

 

— When you vote for Republicans, you are voting for a FAILED drug war.

— When you vote for Republicans, you are supporting the costly imprisonment of MILLIONS of otherwise productive people, many of who committed only minor drug offenses and received mandatory prison sentences.

— When you vote for Republicans, you are encouraging law enforcement to waste BILLIONS of tax dollars, not on fighting violent crimes, but on arresting and locking up normal people, many of whom use drugs recreationally and pose no threat to society.

— When you vote for Republicans, you are voting for the same FAILED drug policy over and over and over.

 

This past week, the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed the biggest FEDERAL DECRIMINALIZATION OF MARIJUANA law in history, and here’s the Republican and conservative response (see below).

 

 

Republicans spew nonsense about supporting “personal freedom.” They don’t support freedom or individual choice. They are the party of failure, perpetuating old failures, and then doubling down again on failure.

Thank you PROGRESSIVES (virtually all of whom supported decriminalization) and DEMOCRATS for showing wisdom and leadership. The federal decriminalization passed 220-204 in a vote largely along party lines. Note that a similar bill passed in December 2020, but then stalled in the then Republican-controlled Senate. We’ll see what happens this time in a 50-50 Senate.

Republicans = always wrong.

Footnote: Republicans are all over the talk shows today, bitching about the Democrats decriminalizing marijuana. It’s time to use THIS ISSUE against the dinosaur party. Most Americans support decriminalization and where marijuana has been legalized, it’s proven to be a positive.
