Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Don't base your vote off weed.
Why not? A politician who wants to regulate something that was controlled to oppress minorities doesn’t deserve my vote. So no I won’t vote solely for weed, but it is a strong factor in my voting choice because it is symptomatic of a bigger political view.
According to the Nixon administration it was weed for hippies and cocaine for black people.
But there are so many reasons to legalize it, and none to keep it illegal, that anyone who's against it is a moron.
Yes.
Trump voters base their votes on the imagined scenario where their lives were better under Trump. So, basing it on weed is just better.
Ok I'll base it off wasting money on a war on drugs and losing out on all that tax revenue. Fiscal responsibility.
Agreed. Base it off ending draconian drug laws designed to profit the prison industrial complex. Starting with weed.
Don’t tell people what to base their votes on.
What should i base it off then?
The rational thing like choreographed cable news debacles and small petty tribalist controversies within the news cycles
Ok thanks!!
Happy to help a fellow lemmster
Their entire image and policies as a whole. Weigh it out and see if they balance the positives and negatives. It's never going to be all good, there's always going to be some bad.
vote 1 - The Marijuana Party
Ok, I'll base it on weed instead.
Now that's how you make good choices! Cool calm and relaxed. Level headed.
but da zaza
Considering I could get arrested for just using a plant that, if I don't use it, I'm in a lot of physical pain due to a nerve disorder that pharmaceuticals alone can't take care of, I think weed will be a big part of my vote.
