Quote:I told you, I lean Green Party.  So I don't know where you're getting that I'm excusing the war on drugs.  You're just making stuff up now.  I'm probably further left than most people here, and I probably go further than most on what should be legalized.  (Nationally, for that matter.  Not just a matter for the states)

 

And you can't call a policy "Republican" if it's continued under both Republicans and Democrats.  When it's continued under both, it becomes a policy of both parties, unless one party tries to undo it.

 

If you're stuck on what happened 70 years ago as if it weren't still happening on a different scale right now then you're ignoring the war on drugs.

 

The democratic party is right leaning. They're both axles on the same trailer, but the republican is the end that's pulling the load to the right.

 

The nation has to stop supporting the rightward push before things can be balanced again. Part of that is recognizing what parts of our problems are initiated by which side.
