The war on drugs only wasted shit loads of money to fuel the prison labor industry.
Sounds like we need to do it better.
For all the gun deaths liberals like to talk about, these newer drugs are more dangerous and are the #2 killer after COVID-19 (and now that vaccination is widespread, Fentanyl is probably #1 now).
This can very well become a Democrat / Liberal weakness if y’all let it faster. Some kind of acknowledgement or even policy to address this large scale killer of Americans is needed.
The article points out that not a single fentanyl speaker was at the DNC.
So there currently is an appearance where it looks like Democrats don’t care.
Saying that you’re against the war on drugs in a decade where Fentanyl/ illegal drugs is the #2 killer after COVID-19 is a bad strategy that’s all I’m pointing out.
Being “against” a failed “solution” that was designed to incarcerate and create recidivism in a system that profited off the only legal form of slavery, is not stupid or a bad “strategy”.
Morally, ethically, and pragmatically, it’s the right call to move to an actual solution.
And there are a lot of issues that didn’t have speakers at the DNC.
Leave it to the neoliberals to be both somehow too hard and too soft on drugs and piss off the majority of the country.
They won’t decriminalize the harmless stuff everyone wants legalized, but also won’t crack down on stuff like the opioid epidemic.
For what it’s worth, cracking down on drugs only makes it harder for people struggling with addiction.

What exactly do you think the democrats are trying to do?
The GOP are pissed because they don’t get to be assholes with harm reduction and other actual solutions.
To the GOP goobers helping people, isn’t the goal.

Cool. Name the DNC’s solution.
I promise you its not as well named as “War on Drugs”.
what’s your problem?
We don’t need catchy names. We don’t need more kids in jail.
We need progress and the GOP’s platform is anti-progress.
That’s not even a program and it certainly isn’t a link to the DNC platform either.
Yes you do. This is fucking politics. Which is 99% about appearances. If you don’t look like you’re doing something, the sheep don’t notice.
You have the fucking stupid mindset that loses elections.
