As a medical user, I really hope she will stick to this if elected. Trump is doing more “leave it up to the states” bullshit except specifically for Florida and no other state.

    Actually the power of executive orders are very broad, and as of 2024, are beyond any limits of law. Official acts of a sitting president cannot be criminalized. He can absolutely order the FDA to immediately remove Marijuana from schedule 1 status, but he won’t. What carrot would Harris have to dangle in front of us at that point?

    For context, yes, I’m a dem, and yes, I’m voting for Harris, but fuck me I’m tired of such transparent posturing.

      I’m voting for Harris since she’s below the age of 65 and a Democrat, that’s all I want.

      What I need is a president who uses the powers given to them by a corrupt SCOTUS to just say “you gave me this loaded gun, make sure you know where I’m going to point it” and then give us more rights than ever before.

      Ensured abortion. Better union rights. Prohibiting book bannings. Better protections for BIPOC and LGBTQ people. Ensuring voting doesn’t get limited due to state lines. Healthcare. Education. Taxing the rich.

      Are we going to get that? Never in a million years, we’ll see the end of the Republic before we see any president use their power grabbing for anything meaningfully good and not taking away rights of citizens.

      Harris could use it for good but probably won’t. Trump will use it for evil. That’s the honest truth.
