This wouldn't be happening under a President Hillary Clinton

[SHRED]

I am so sick of lefty cannabis activists who refused to vote for her.

1. I don't think so...even w/ HRC as president...the GOP-controlled

congress would have put up all types of roadblocks and obstacles just as they did w/ Obama...as John Dean said, we need to get all of these GOP traitors out of power...they are only representing the 1% of the 1%, so why vote as you belonged to this class of traitors?

[SHRED]

2. An AG under Clinton would not be doing this

You are incorrect.

[SWBTATTReg]

3. I am not incorrect, I was referring to the repub. controlled congress and not HRC's cabinet...

this is a given, that anyone HRC picked, wouldn't do this.

[Hortensis]

24. Swbattreg, you're WRONG. if we had elected Hillary,

we would also have taken the senate also and even possibly a majority in the house, for sure vastly increased our power in the house.

SHRED's right. This would not be happening IF we had elected Democrats.

I absolutely blame the terminally dysfunctional far left who didn't vote Democrats for all the lies they told (and tell) themselves that lead them to support the dark side.

But SHRED needs to accept that they're what they are, just like the conservatives they in effect joined to defeat Democrats. The worst are not going to change because they can't, and many others because they don't want to.

[SHRED]

36. Who is saying I don't "accept" that they are full of it?

I met many at a Bernie rally who said they'd never vote for Hillary. It was depressing.

I personally know lefty cannabis activists who call Hillary a "Warlonger".

Letting the perfect become the enemy of the good is for political novices and outright fools.

If I'm reading you correctly.

[Hortensis]

38. Sorry, agree. :) Radical types claim and believe high purpose,

but their actions typically sabotage or just ignore the claimed goals.

There are big similarities between the political behaviors of the radical left and the right. One fall-away group of Sanders supporters is proudly modeling itself on the Tea Party, who predictably self destructed and regrouped around Trump.

Goodness knows, demands continuing here all through 2017 that we still needed to repeal the ACA as too awful to accept and they'd somehow be able to replace it, should have clued a bunch of people in to the destructive core of this coin.

On this very forum some are claiming a large majority of our Democratic senators are too unprincipled to remain and urging people to vote against them -- the exact claim that lost us two branches of government in 2016.

While their inability to cooperate with others means they've never been able to take over the Democratic Party from its liberal factions, they are still able to act as spoilers of all our dreams.

4. did hc say she wouldn't reverse obamas policies on legal pot?

the only thing I remember about her stance was on medical mj and her saying more research was needed...

[LanternWaste]

5. she will support states that are "moving towards" both recreational and medical marijuana legalizati

"Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, has said that she will support states that are "moving towards" both recreational and medical marijuana legalization.

She has also called for moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule II— a move the DEA declined to make in August — which would free up scientists and policymakers to access marijuana for further research.

Clinton, however, is still measured in her support for recreational marijuana. She's said that she doesn't want the federal government to "interfere" with states like Colorado that have chosen to legalize recreational marijuana, and said that she wants to learn "what works and what doesn't work."

7. ok, ty but i hope our next nominee comes out a lil stronger to end

the war on pot

[JI7]

8. Lol, the issue didn't seem to concern you enough to see what her position was

Last election.

[questionseverything]

9. i just remembereda video clip of her and a mom of a child that used medical mj

I didn't need to follow her policies that closely as I knew she was better than bat shit crazy....so there was never a doubt that I would vote for her

but

what I am trying to say is either we had a messaging problem and/or I would like to see our next nominee for pres come out more forcefully for legalization

do you disagree?

[JI7]

10. Anyone who did not support her did not care enough about this issue

They instead voted their bigotry by allowing trump to win.

[questionseverything]

11. try #2

what I am trying to say is either we had a messaging problem and/or I would like to see our next nominee for pres come out more forcefully for legalization

do you disagree?

[2left4u]

14. WE

The only problem WE had was thinking that a candidate who was a World Leader so accomplished, educated, so brilliant, well traveled, well respected...the tip of the spear for leaders world wide...somebody with such an extensive contact list (they had somebody on speed dial to work on ANY issue) would have all the above dismissed because they were a woman.

Even then...having to deal with and push through all the misogynistic crap that dismissed all the above, we never ever thought a candidate (woman candidate for all the misogynists out there) that accomplished would have to run against another candidate (male) shouting "Grab them by the pussy".

Yes WE had a messaging problem. Our candidate didn't think to reach out to only the racist, fascist, wealthy selfish 1% and rapey fucks in America....WE clearly blew it..hence why WE won the popular vote running on a platform for ALL Americans versus just the racist, racist, wealthy selfish 1% rapey demographic in certain states.

Because our candidate had principles...that demographic wasn't an option and only existed to be extinguished.

WE next time shouldn't have split our vote and stayed home because the other nominee didn't get nominated IMHO...policy be damned, some of us got us here rather than rallying for the win.

[questionseverything]

17. ok i have read thru your response a couple of times and am missing whr

you answered my question

90% of the country supports medical mj, 60% supports recreational mj

so isn't it time for the democratic nominee to openly support ending the war on mj?

and/or would clearer messaging help?

as an aside, I never dreamed trump could win and don't actually believe he did

the repubs certainly fought having recounts in wis, mich and pa hard enough

I am not blaming hc for not getting her message out but in hindsight WE have got to make sure it never happens again(referring to democratic loses)

[world wide wally]

19. If the only reason you'll vote for someone is their stance on legalizing... I want to live where you

live!
I smoked it illegally for about 40 years and I just happen to live in Colorado. It has never been worth destroying our entire country over. Besides, I don't recall Trump ever advocating legalization, so you would have been much wiser voting for Hillary.
I just hope you did. And if our candidate next time is Joe Kennedy lll, I hope you'll vote for him too. I am absolutely certain he will be far more negotiable than Trump and Sessions.

[questionseverything]

21. evidently you didn't read what i wrote since i said

hc was an easy choice since trump is bat shit crazy

but

if you think nominating a pot warrior is a good idea, you are mistaken

isn't kennedy the recovering addict? or am I remembering incorrectly?

[world wide wally]

25. Sorry, I missed that and I am glad to hear it.

I think Joes brother may have been addicted, but I think Joseph is squeaky clean.
In either case, I like him.

[questionseverything]

30. it was patrick, his cousin but he sounds like sessions on mj

What are your views on legalizing recreational marijuana?

I don’t think marijuana should be legalized. If we’re going to say marijuana is a medicine, it needs to be treated like a medicine and regulated like a medicine. But when we look at full-on legalization, the potential danger that marijuana poses particularly to adolescents—I’m not convinced.

http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2016/09/11/joe-kennedy-iii-interview/2/

But Kennedy’s teetotalism provides a window into the world of a little-known figure now embarking upon a very public political race. That Kennedy does not drink is not in itself remarkable. What is telling is how others interpret that choice. Some see it as a sign of his determination to steer clear of the demons of drugs and alcohol that other family members have wrestled with - in some cases fatally. Others consider it a reflection of a singular self-confidence. Not every freshman could stand up to a team of beer-chugging athletes with a glass of milk in his hand.

Many of his classmates, however, suspected Kennedy’s abstinence was rooted in a nascent political calculus.

“We always joked that Joe was going to run for president,’’ recalled Matt Twomey, who also played on the lacrosse team. “With that last name of his and the fact that he didn’t drink, it just seemed obvious.’’

//////////////////////////////////////

hopefully the democratic party does not present a candidate that disagrees with 90%of the country on medical mj or the 60% of the country that supports rec use...that is not a winning strategy

[world wide wally]

31. My gut feeling is that he will try to make it a nonissue and just roll with the flow.

Although I think legalization a winning issue.

[questionseverything]

33. for yearsnow democrats have been nervous to come out in full support of legal mj

I think the time for that is over

the cost alone of jailing non violent offenders should be enough

but when co legalized it their opioid deaths went down by 75%...that is HUGE

[yardwork]

20. It's contemptible bullshit to make things up like this.

This is exactly why the country is being destroyed. A whole bunch of uninformed whiny privileged assholes who believe every piece of crap Russian propaganda that hits their reddit page.

[questionseverything]

22. make up what?

[George II]

29. Did she say she would?

[lapucelle]

34. No. N/T

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. But if we allow trump to win the revolution will happen that much sooner

God I hate her and will NEVER watch her again and that sucks because she is good and is in good stuff, and if she would apologize I would, but she wont

6. You conflate the duties and obligations of the Attorney General with those of Congress.

You are conflating the duties and obligations of the Attorney General with those of Congress.

12. Obama wasn't putting up any obstacles for the STATES who chose to do this.

And neither would Hillary.

We're going backwards because not enough progressives in key states voted for her.

13. Just say NO to Jeff Sessions

23. "Lefty cannabis activists"

You show a shallow understanding of the issues in the 2016 primary and general election. Plus, your post is divisive.

On the other hand, you're absolutely right that this wouldn't be happening under HRC.

[SHRED]

35. I know some personally

They call Hillary a "warmonger".

[radical noodle]

37. I'm sure she'd be

comparing button sizes with North Korea right now... ramping up a nuclear confrontation.
