With President Biden's pardon of marijuana possession, and the 10-20K student loan forgiveness,

[JohnSJ]

there is absolutely no excuse for the young not to turnout in large numbers and vote Democratic in the midterms.

1. I suspect there will be a "NOT ENOUGH!!!!!" contingent

Who are made that it wasn't ALL student loan debt and weed isn't legalized.

[betsuni]

3. Absolutely.

Whining "broken promises" about student loan debt and when that happened it wasn't good enough and anyway what about marijuana.

[elias7]

2. How absurd it is to be progressive on one front and regressive on the other

There is a clear choice in this election and people need to make it.

[GoodRaisin]

4. Absolutely. On both issues he is doing what he said he would do during his campaign.

Unlike TFG, who did almost nothing he said he would do.

Doing what you said, always a good thing.

19. He said he would appoint conservative stooge justices.

and we're all paying the price now still. Thanks bernie bros. Oh and by the way, dark brandon bringing everything that's been promised by bernie. so turn the fuck out this fall and in 2024!

5. They'll always find some excuse for their laziness. n/t

6. How many 'young people' are actually effected by this. It is my understanding that FEDERAL simple

MJ possession convictions have been almost 0 for years. This mainly effects 70's-90's convictions.

[former9thward]

9. The news said it was only 6500 people.

Good for them but it is a tiny amount. The federal government was never the primary enforcer of MJ possession. It was almost all state and local which is not affected.

[kelly1mm]

14. right and how many of those are 'young' vs the aging hippies jacked up in the 70s-90s?

[Sympthsical]

7. I see that won't stop pre-emptively shitting on them though

Jesus. Thank god randoms aren't actual campaign outreach.

[JohnSJ]

8. You have a problem it seems By inferring something that isn't there

[Sympthsical]

13. The first replies said plenty

Plenty.

[JohnSJ]

15. Good point. You are correct

[Sympthsical]

18. I agree with your OP, btw

Younger voters should have plenty of motivation. Even without student loans and marijuana, Dobbs alone should light a fire under some asses.

[CTyankee]

10. Excellent on both! Getting people out of debt and legalizing a drug that also has good effects is

what a progressive democracy should do.

What will the righties complain about now?

[JI7]

11. Young people don't turn out in large numbers because they just aren't

interested in politics as older groups are.

[Celerity]

12. De rec. Yet another anti young people thread. We turned out

in 2018 and 2020 than the older gens did at the same age, and we certainly voted Democratic at a far greater percentage than Boomers and up did, who voted majority Trump/Repug.

[JohnSJ]

16. Your comment should be directed to those in the thread cynically assuming the worst, not

the OP

President Biden has given substantial actions for the young, women, African Americans, etc to vote Democratic in the midterms
