And who sent black men to jail for smoking marijuana when they were California's Attorney General? honk-enraged

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 days ago

That part lol

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

clearly it was their own personal choices which sent them to jail for smoking marijuana. it has nothing to do with the broader system. everything just happens in a vacuum. if anyone tries to do any sort of material analysis or even simply connect dots, i will call them gay.

There's a certain kind of legalist lib who admits that weed should be legal but still supports keeping everyone ever locked up for weed behind bars because they Broke The Law and the law is not mocked.

2 + 2 = gay

Healthcare pls!

Did almost the exact same thing ahead of the mid-terms: https://www.yahoo.com/news/kamala-harris-record-marijuana-prosecutor-173249390.html

At the end of the day, calling Harris out on her previous role in convicting folks for marijuana crimes isn’t entirely unfair. But it’s also pretty misleading to pretend that she pulled a switcheroo on the issue just in time for the midterms.

i-do

every 2 years no matter the party lol. Zero chance they even drop it to schedule 3 like theyd been claiming.

Biden could literally do that today.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 days ago

Thats how they were promoting it too. Like any day the dea was gonna change it. Just like any day our student loans will be forgiven lol.

Only with some uppers, a few slaps across the face, and some fast talk bluff that tells him that the thing he's signing will bomb more brown people.

I wonder how worried her team is about her numbers with black men. It really is amazing to me how polling and focus groups made the dems a total mockery especially weathervanes like Kamala. They'll promote anything if they think the data says it might be a winner.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah seem to be, she announced a thing to protect black men’s crypto investments or something or other as well lol

Going for the affluent douchebag vote and its demographically narrow overlap with black men, largely because of drug war targeted prosecution of black people to keep them impoverished. galaxy-brain

I wonder if they're using AI yet for campaign data

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

I hadn't even thought of it but it's a new fresh hell out of Hellworld so they must be. And win or lose - the democrats will talk about "The AI told us X, Y, & Z..." If they lose - they'll shoot the messenger. They'll blame AI - this emerging technology - for leading them astray. If they win - they will say how smart, prescient, and wise they were to utilize AI - this futuristic technology.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Depends on what you mean by AI. ML in general, certainly. LLMS, however, might not be used in data analysis because they suck with data processing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

For campaign copy, yes: https://quiller.ai/

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

I've been sounding the alarm bells around the Democrat's messaging towards black men for months now, and I'm not even American!

Those CA weed barons are really wanting to go national.

CA weed barons vs national tobacco barons

Lmfao “America is racist, right? So I gotta be racist to win, right?” - Kamala Harris.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago

the color and background of the message made it look like an Onion article

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago

spoiler: no she wont

even if she wasn't the big pig or whatever her dumb ass nickname was, no US president is ever going to do this because it's a cashcow both for the private prison industry and it keeps alcohol/tobacco companies in business

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago

And force you to pay $100k just to apply to be able to sell it.

Oh and you can't grow it in your yard without it being in a locked greenhouse and away from anyone under 21

Oh look, another thing to yell “SIKE!” over come November 7.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

republicans blocking, supreme court, parliamentarian, some democrat switching parties, political capital, long-term study, etc, etc, etc, etc

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

The way Dems turn their few strengths into weaknesses is hilarious

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

It's amazing that these ads aren't a Brad troemel bit

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

The police are still going to be evil racists that should not be allowed to have guns even after cannabis is legalized federally.

It was a debate! jokermala
