    As opposed to “give money to my campaign and I’ll remove all restrictions on the oil industry”.

      He doesn’t need to legalize.

      He just needs the DEA to remove it from the scheduling system. He could order them to do that. And replace them if they refused.

      Biden doesn’t want to do it. So he pretends the presidency is weak and he has no power over federal agencies Then tells us if trump is president he’s dangerous because he’d be in charge of all the federal agencies, and would be able to replace anyone who disagreed with him.

      I don’t know if it’s normal neoliberal bullshit, but it’s a really bad look for Biden to always be contradicting himself like that.

    I mean, politicians make promises they have no intention of trying to keep when they think they’re winning, too.

    Why do you guess all these supposed leftists hang out on a platform like Xitter, notoriously taken over by a bunch of conservatives and neo-nazis and run by a tool like Musk, just to screen cap ‘Biden Bad’ pics to post to Lemmy.

    Never an original thought, and certainly won’t answer when anyone asks what viable solution they propose to defeat Trump, project 2025, restore Roe, etc, since obviously Biden is so wrong…

    An obstinate old man is going to give our country to fascists because he doesn’t like being told “no.”
