Cannabis is currently classified along with drugs like heroin and LSD. The administration is expected to reschedule it in a category that includes steroids and Tylenol with codeine.
In addition, this article is about his “plans” to do this. Not about his actions. Every election cycle around this time the incumbent president puts out articles about his (because there’s been no her yet) “plans” to reclassify or otherwise loosen marijuana restrictions, but nothing ever happens.
Yep and then you’ll get a bunch of people arguing “well the president doesn’t really have much power to change things” in response to the criticism before immediately flipping to “well if [my candidate] doesn’t win the next election, fire and brimstone will rain down from the sky and it will be hell on earth because the other guy will have limitless power!”
This is an argument coined by fascists that is now being used by party loyalists in both the Republican and Democratic parties because they want to maintain the status quo. This is what happens when you keep voting for one of two right-wing parties.
The problem with a two party system - if you are politically engaged enough that Biden’s stance on Israel is enough to change your vote, you probably also don’t align with any of Trump’s policies.
If you are a Democrat, your choices are:
Accept that Biden is the lesser of two evils and vote for him regardless
Somehow decide that all the explicitly stated policies that Trump is proposing are better than Biden’s support for Israel, and vote Republican
Don’t vote - unless you live in a very, very blue state this is practically the same as voting Republican
Vote 3rd party - essentially the same as not voting
