Also he already pardoned all federal ones that were only charged with possession

Oh my god a left wing “lock them up” and “drain the swamp” populist movement might actually take off lmfao

This entire thing can be circumvented by Congress. The reason you run a president on congressional policy is because they’re the leader of the party and have the power to veto/sign bills. This would also give democrats (especially progressives) momentum all over the country in local, state, and federal elections.

Running on a “lock them up” platform is giving Clinton crime bill tbh. And it’s not going to make sense to the swing voters who still remember “defund the police” (even though that never ended up happening)

Would be nice, but we couldn’t even get the Dem-controlled house to pass an amendment to stop disqualifying prior weed users from security clearance (you can still get it but you have to do some more explaining). We’ll need a serious progressive majority in both chambers. That means none of this Green Party shit in PA and other swing states

And It wasn’t all of them, it was only about 2,500 on a “extreme” basis. So he did a lot of good but I’m saying a full, unilateral pardon for all federal non-violent drug offenses. That includes more folks than just possession charges. I also think they should call upon democratic/bipartisan governors to do the same. It’s the first step in ending private prisons.

I think it ended up being like 6k, but yeah, I guess we could pardon people for distribution also. And absolutely, those charges should be expunged. I believe they are in a decent number of states

I disagree, people are fucking pissed. “Lock them up” would refer explicitly to people on this administration that have openly and blatantly violated the constitutional rights of Americans.

Also policy literally doesn’t matter people just vote for whoever is cooler

Which ones?

That’s fair. We have to find them guilty of actual crimes though, and it can’t look like a vindictive prosecution. That would get the case thrown out

You think AI and surveillance regulations would result in bad governance?

Apologies. Overlooked that, we need those too. I don’t trust AI with a bunch of stuff

I mean if Kamala runs again, she would probably do better since she’d have 4 years instead of 3 months to create a campaign

They’ve committed their crimes proudly and openly in front of the American people. There’s no reason to worry about fake charges.

Right, we just can’t afford to be ambitious or anything with the charges. The case has to be airtight. We can’t afford to have another Fulton County fumble

ICE has no purpose when Customs and Border Protection already exists. We do not need a secret police loyal only to the President that doesn’t answer to Congress and has the authority to detain/arrest American citizens. After the horrors we’ve seen out of this admin, that is a nonnegotiable and as a matter of fact there needs to be at least 4-8 years of investigation and prosecution for anyone involved.

Recognition of a Palestinian State is the only path forward for a Free Palestine. Our nation has funded and been complicit in a genocide for two years and will be forced to spend the next century trying to wipe our hands clean of the blood. Again, this is a nonnegotiable and most of the world is already following suit.

ICE has its purpose and right now it’s being abused. There should be some changes with ICE to prevent this from happening again tho.

What do u mean by recognizing? Cuz what I think of, in my uneducated mind (on this topic), is just denouncing what is going on there and Israel. Nothing more

ICE has a clear purpose as the pursuer of immigration and customs crimes (unless it’s drug or agriculture related, then I think it’s the DEA or USDA). HSI handles investigations and ERO handles deportations. That being said, they could absolutely just be folded into CBP. Nonetheless, we need to clean house. These people can never be hired again, and we need to know exactly who was employed in what capacity, including contractors (some of which seem to be former bounty hunters that have been…
