It would be nice if the far left, for once, did some introspection.

[Warren DeMontague]

59. That was sarcasm.

Of course I know what Jeff Sessions has said on the matter.

Unfortunately we have people in our party who say similar gibberish, things like "we shouldn't legalize marijuana because we have a heroin problem in this country"- a conflation that is totally contra-indicated by both scientific fact and on the ground reality.

Part of my endless harping on this issue is to make sure that our party nationally aligns with the direction of the electorate, the direction that many of the good Democrats on OUR team, especially (but not exclusively) on the West Coast have already embraced. The direction my state Democratic Party has embraced.

Because it is an important issue and -aha!- it also will help us win elections.

But you said "there are more important issues" - great. So what are they?

Because "Susan Sarandon made me SO mad on Colbert" is not an issue. "Those dickheads at JPR said the parties are the same" --- stupid opinion, one I disagree with (hence, my voter registration) but again, not an actual policy issue.

I brought up a policy issue, keep bringing it up, because it's something that is driving people to the polls and like I said, it has real-world implications.

"The Far Left needs to do some introspection" isn't a piece of policy or an "issue".
