Vice President Kamala Harris pledged Monday to federally legalize cannabis, ensuring that "safe cultivation, distribution and possession of recreational marijuana is the law of the land."

Good stuff.

Harris' promise is part of a package of initiatives aimed at energizing Black male voters ahead of the November election.

What the shit?

But calling me too intellectually weak to understand it is totally different somehow.

Again, being deliberately blunt, I have no respect for 'just because you disagree.' It's effortless all-purpose denial. Mere disagreement isn't what I'm excoriating. Reasons matter. Behavior matters. When someone clutches their pearls about the opposite of what I wrote, that is not a me problem. It derails any conversation.

This user failed at their own debate. They bitched about a one-sentence rebuttal of their one-sentence claim. They lied about a more detailed explanation for how that hypocritical bitching was also incorrect. Their "viewpoint" on marijuana's classification is a tangle of fallacies. The only point which you think they're making is so wishy-washy that it's nearly meaningless, and it's about zero percent of what's gone wrong.
