She co-sponsored a bill to fully legalize it in 2018. Behind closed doors she was advocating for legalizing it as VP, but Biden doesn't support full legalization so it would've been a bad look for him if his VP was publicly going against him when he was still running

VP debates usually don't move the needle much. I mean all most people remember from the Pence vs Harris debate was the fly on Mike Pence

If we want to move the needle, one thing we can do is take action ourselves

Find how to register to vote for where you are

Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you and online

Write letters to voters in swing states or in competitive downballot races

Worth noting that what she said more than just hinting like the headline suggests. She's directly stating it should be legalized

"We have come to a point where we have to understand that we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior," Harris said on an episode of the "All the Smoke" podcast released on Monday

Also worth noting that as senator she also co-sponsored legalization in 2018 that would've fully legalized weed

Hey now, Chickens can put up a fight when they need to and are smarter than people think. Can we really say the same about trump?

We can do more than just hope, we can help make it happen! Vote, get active, volunteer for texas democrats

We can fight back against some of their voter suppression tactics

If you know people in texas, make sure they are checking their voter registration and re-register if purged
