Bernie Sanders introduces decriminalization bill

He wants to decriminalize on the federal level, and let each state decide for itself!! Wonder how that that will go. I really don't see it happening. What do y'all think?
I like it. It's a step. But I wish we would win this war 100% at the national level all at once. Having to deal with a bunch of state governments on this thing is gonna be long and drawn out. Especially for Texas. Fuck what state governments think about marijuana. I think it's just stupid that someone can smoke a joint just inside Colorado's border, but if they take just one step over that border, bam they go to jail for the same thing. That's fucked up.

Dude I don't even (necessarily) have a problem with Sanders. If he gets the nomination, fine. But you need to realize that the world isn't going to change if he wins. HE'S JUST ANOTHER FUCKING POLITICIAN. Who cares who he's worked with in the senate. The game is completely different on a national level. Wake up, man.
No one is looking to change the world, America will do.

You should care who he has worked with..past history is typical indicator of future performance.

He's the only one who marched with Dr. King..fighting for desegregation.

What was your candidate of choice doing during this time?

Hillary was a Republican.
You're talking about the 60's man. Who cares what he did 50 years ago? Haven't seen him at many marches lately. Where's he been?

According to Uncle Ben, Texas resident and topping king, they're very lenient on weed..see his quote in my signature..surely you don't think he's wrong, do you?

Really? You should care..past history is best indicator of future performance.

Where's he been? Mayor, Congress and Senate for 40 years..don't you, like, read?

That`s a flaw. Past history as a politician, isn`t a welcome commodity for this time around. When you want to change the Parties for the good of the Nation, you cancel all of them when it comes time to vote.

Being Congress follows after the Office change cuz the top dog knows the strategy involved.

"This is the rigged crap they been give`n me" is a lot better offense opener than, "This is what you need to do."

And an avowed socialist as well..that's pretty different.

Shut up, Ginwilly.

If the vote were held today, who would be your choice and why?
If the vote were today I'd sit home. I have no choice this year unless Gary Johnson gets back in.

I wouldn't be disappointed if Sanders wins out of all of the others though. He's my favorite turd, I just don't ascribe altruism to a politician the way you guys have with the guy.

Both Bernie and Elizabeth use the term 'rigged' quite liberally.

See, they knew all along and it`s coming out now ?

The only one who did not raise his hand for approval was Trump. Bernie did not, indicating he will kiss the ass of the eventual nominee. They made sure to make that Point number one.

But nobody "New",.... He`s been Governor and knows the ropes well. There are 50 people that can go to the White house at will and hack it out with Congress. If you don`t think he`s been there and done that,.... your fooled.

When has Trump used his pass to go at it with this Congress ? Or the last one ?,.....Maybe the one before that ???
