If he actually wanted to legalize he'd fire the heads of these agencies and replace them with people who are supportive. Guess what, he's not doing that. The best we'll get schedule 3 which is still illegal.

Biden doesn't give a flying fuck about legalizing weed and never has. No amount of neolib gaslighting bullshit is going to change that. Always funny how Republican presidents do whatever the fuck they want but the second anyone talks about progressive policy our hands are tied. Not to mention Biden is illegally giving weapons to Israel.

Neolibs will always argue "the president can't do that" when it comes to progressive policy. Then they won't even pressure him to use the bully pulpit which is the president's greatest power. You've all been convinced that nothing can ever be done for you, and it's a blatant fucking lie.
