Mrs. Half-measures Warren wants to "decriminalize" our marijuana laws, which makes me think she is not for legalization. how long until she changes her stance to copy bernie

edit: looks like warren has changed her stance months ago--her website used to say she was for decriminalizing our marijuana laws. now it reads:

"It starts with legalizing marijuana and erasing past convictions, and then eliminating the remaining disparity between crack and powder cocaine sentencing. And rather than incarcerating individuals with substance abuse disorders, we should expand options that divert them into programs that provide real treatment."

That's my bad--Her website used to say she was for decriminalizing but it has been updated

"It starts with legalizing marijuana and erasing past convictions, and then eliminating the remaining disparity between crack and powder cocaine sentencing. And rather than incarcerating individuals with substance abuse disorders, we should expand options that divert them into programs that provide real treatment."

Bernie was for legalization decades ago.

@wtfyomom

Fox News viewers are more likely to support Bernie Sanders than people who watch MSNBC

I'm not surprised. These Neo-Liberals are phoney as f_ck.

Yeah, we talked about this before. While it makes me personally like Bernie even more he is just too decent of a person. He needs to be more direct pointing out corruption from his peers to appeal to the entire nation, but he won't do it. Might cost him in the end.

People were laughing at them hard in these people's faces. Walking right up to get clear pictures of their signs. To be fair, they did gain some steam and probably hit a solid number in the teens of people there when the AOC challenger joined them with his megaphone

Yeah. I feel like he could replace the Romneycare point with, "the system you're proposing Joe would keep janitor Bernie Sanders in thousands dollars of debt for getting stent." Obama pretty much has 90% approval rating with Dems so I don't think criticizing his health care plan will hit.

But on the other hand maybe it would help calling out Democratic party corruption in regards to health care? Idk man this is his last chance and at some point you can't just call out generic health care corruption without also calling out people like Biden who help facilitate the corruption.

Bernie's gotta re-establish the M4A narrative because Warren can't defend it and has people skeptical now. I get so mad when they go to her after one of the centrists shyts on M4A. The moderators kept going to Amy and Pete to dump on it and they're ticking up in certain polls with moderate dems. Not a coincidence.

Bernie is building some nice momentum

Bernie Sanders lands prized Iowa endorsement

Stacey Walker, a sought-after Iowa Democrat in the first-in-the-nation voting state, is endorsing Bernie Sanders, Walker told POLITICO on Thursday.

Walker, chairman of the Linn County Board of Supervisors, was named one of the “50 most wanted Democrats” in 2020 by The Des Moines Register. He said he is supporting Sanders because he is the most progressive presidential candidate in the race.

“That is what America needs to course-correct from the disaster that Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress have become,” he said. “We need a leader with a bold vision, and as a black man living in America, I’ve had enough of politicians telling me we have to scale back our dreams and ambitions.”

Walker, 31, became the first black member of Linn County’s Board of Supervisors when he was elected in 2016. Linn, whose seat is Cedar Rapids, is the second-most populated county in the state.

Walker’s nod comes on the heels of Sanders winning the endorsements of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar. Sanders’ aides hope Walker and the members of the so-called “Squad” will demonstrate that a “multigenerational, multiracial working-class movement” is behind him.

Walker is expected to officially announce his endorsement at a rally with Sanders in Iowa City on Friday. According to excerpts from his prepared speech, he will argue that Sanders is the best candidate because he has a bold vision, diverse base and longtime progressive record.

“Whether it was standing up for the rights of the LGBTQ community in the 1970s or calling out the harm of money in politics throughout much of the last decade, his voice has been a consistent one,” he states in his planned remarks. “This is why I trust him to do the right thing when the political winds are blowing hard against the sails.”

Walker, like Sanders, has anti-establishment bona fides: After deciding against a run for the U.S. Senate next year, Walker decried the primary as a race “orchestrated by Washington elites, instead of being left up to the voters.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is backing Theresa Greenfield in that election. Walker has backed another candidate, Kimberly Graham, who supports single-payer health care.

The Sanders team is also expected to name Walker as its first Iowa campaign co-chair.

Nice pick up. And then the 4:20 announcement...I REALLY like this plan

Bernie Sanders released a plan to legalize marijuana (at 4:20 pm)

some highlights:

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday — at 4:20 pm Eastern Time — released a plan to legalize marijuana.

The proposal is among the most ambitious from one of the Democratic presidential candidates. It would move to legalize marijuana within 100 days through executive action. But it would also address the potential downsides and criticisms of how several states have legalized marijuana so far — by trying to limit the size and scope of the marijuana industry and taking several steps to ensure that communities of color benefit from legalization while potential bad actors, such as tobacco companies, do not.

Separately, the Sanders administration would push state and federal authorities to expunge past convictions for marijuana. As noted in Sanders’s criminal justice reform plan, he would also set up an independent clemency board to grant those with federal convictions an early relief. And he would separately move to “eliminate barriers to public benefits for people who have interacted with the criminal justice system.”

Sanders also promises to use new tax revenue from legal marijuana to create a $20 billion grant program for “entrepreneurs of color who continue to face discrimination in access to capital” and another $10 billion grant program for businesses “that are at least 51% owned or controlled by those in disproportionately impacted areas or individuals who have been arrested for or convicted of marijuana offenses.”

He also vows to create supports for the formerly incarcerated, a $10 billion grant program to “help disproportionately impacted areas and individuals who have been arrested for or convicted of marijuana offenses start urban and rural farms and urban and rural marijuana growing operations,” and a $10 billion development fund to “provide grants to communities hit hardest by the War on Drugs.”

Finally, Sanders would try to prevent marijuana businesses from turning into an analog of Big Tobacco — a major concern even among some supporters of legalization. He would financially incentivize marijuana businesses to be nonprofits; prohibit products and labels that target young people; ban tobacco companies, as well as other companies that make cancer-causing products or are “guilty of deceptive marketing,” from the pot industry; set market share and franchise caps; and establish federal regulation for the safety of cannabis products.
