As a medical user, I really hope she will stick to this if elected. Trump is doing more “leave it up to the states” bullshit except specifically for Florida and no other state.

How dare someone change their mind! We should definitely teach her a lesson she won’t forget and be amongst the 3000 people who who vote for Cornel West in November!
If a politician actually changes their mind that’s fine. If they change their mind to become pro-cannabis legalization, that’s great.
But they shouldnt try to gaslight the populace into believing that this was their stance all along.
If this was Kamala’s position all along, then her actions as District Attorney are very hypocritical.
If she actually had a change of heart, she should apologize to the nonviolent victims she chose to prosecute and incarcerate.
Or you could not let the perfect be the enemy of the good and celebrate a candidate advocating for legalization.
This is such a ridiculous expression and I wish people would quit using it to shut down valid criticism and justify inaction from our leaders.
You see a homeless guy starving on the sidewalk and give him a penny to go buy food. It’s obviously not enough to buy anything and he objects, but you tell him “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. You should be thankful for what I’ve given you.”
Rapist Brock Turner rapes a girl behind a dumpster at school. He’s given probation for the crime. “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Be thankful that he’s being punished for his crime.”
Trump passes his tax bill in 2018 giving permanent cuts to wealthy individuals while middle and lower classes get a temporary cut along with the removal of some credits and caps on SALT deductions. This widens the income inequality in our country but since we got a couple of years of lower tax bills, “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good…”
Just stop it.
I’m sorry, but if you can’t accept legalization of cannabis without a public apology, I would say “letting the perfect be the enemy of the good” is exactly the right phrase to use.
You’re right, no one really cares about a public apology. Just like this entire story, it’s only words.
What really matters is advocacy for those nonviolent drug “offenders”. They deserve release from jail, an end to probation, an expungement of criminal records, and reparations for the losses they suffered.
Kamala issuing a pro-legalization press release is the path of least resistance for her. If she actually stood on principle she would advocate to expunge the criminal records of all nonviolent drug offenders that her DA office prosecuted. But even that is just the words of a politician- what really matters is policy change.
There’s no indication that legalization is happening. What we’ve gotten is a simple statement that may or may not be true.
How can you make the claim that she changed her mind? Believe actions not words regardless of who it’s coming from.
Actions she can’t take until after January 20th? How do you expect people to do that? Or are you really trying to claim that since she hasn’t issued a public apology, she’s definitely lying and hasn’t changed her mind?
I didn’t say I expected her to legalize it right now nor am i looking for an apology. You’re mocking the other poster and claiming “she’s changed her mind” without any evidence apart from a basic statement from her that could prove to be completely false for all we know (which was the whole point of their comment).
