127. They don't have the votes to legalize marijuana

Sun Feb 23, 2020, 10:06 AM

Feb 2020

Are you for continuing the war on drugs for that reason? They also don’t have the votes to do anything about mass shootings. Do you oppose background checks and an assault weapons ban for that reason?

Also didn’t have to votes for impeachment or to take any action on climate change. I suppose we shouldn’t do anything about either of those issues.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
