Antifar 07/08/20 10:46:34 PM #1:	https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/08/biden-legal-marijuana-police-protections-353585 Joe Bidens unity task forces were created to bring the progressive wing of the Democratic Party into the fold after the sting of Bernie Sanders defeat. But on key policies involving the biggest issue of the day criminal justice the left flank got rolled. Amid nationwide protests against police brutality, the criminal justice panel formed by Biden and Sanders got into heated debates in recent weeks over qualified immunity, a legal doctrine that shields police from being sued for misconduct. Progressives pushed to end it, but Biden appointees agreed only to sign onto a commitment to rein in the rule. Another flashpoint over marijuana ended similarly: Sanders team argued in private meetings that they should legalize cannabis, but that idea was rejected. One task force member described the disagreements over qualified immunity and pot as huge battles, and multiple people involved said the criminal justice panel presented some of the biggest challenges for compromise. The vice president needs to figure out how he can step up and also catch up, frankly, to where the American people are headed in terms of wanting to have a real significant shift in how we think about things like policing and criminalization of marijuana and other drugs, said Scott Roberts, senior director of criminal justice campaigns for the civil rights organization Color of Change. He still seems to embrace kind of a law-and-order lite." Roberts, who was not on the task force, added that Biden is fortunate that he's running against President Donald Trump, whom he called a "white supremacist and vocal opponent of the Black Lives Matter movement." On several other task forces created by Biden and Sanders, progressives celebrated Wednesday that they won concessions, nudging allies and aides to the presumptive Democratic nominee to the left on climate change, immigration and economic policy. But they struggled to persuade Bidens team on criminal justice policy beyond what he has already embraced. The challenges suggest that Bidens beliefs on policies such as marijuana are strongly held. He supports decriminalization and medical pot, but his aides have said he needs to see more evidence that weed doesnt endanger peoples health before he backs legalization. Progressives also believe it demonstrates that the Biden campaign is wary of alienating police unions, which oppose changes to qualified immunity, and the larger labor movement of which they are a part. At the same time, the task force's criminal justice recommendations suggest that Biden supporters are confident that the Sanders wing will back him in the end despite his refusal to budge, given the alternative. Liberals are all the more frustrated by their inability to make more gains on criminal justice in the task forces because voters have been moving leftward on the issue. Polls show two-thirds of Americans support legalizing marijuana, and majorities among all racial and ethnic groups say they back the Black Lives Matter movement. There will never be a safer time to be bold on these issues and push for change, and Joe Biden is missing the mark, said a Sanders ally who requested anonymity to speak frankly. I think people are going to rightly feel as if we didnt meet the moment. I think a lot of people are going to feel let down. Every progressive, when they read the sentence rein in qualified immunity, are going to find it laughable. Analilia Mejia, Sanders political director who oversaw the task forces, said their overall recommendations are a victory for progressives, and represent an even larger achievement than the left-wing proposals adopted in the Democratic Partys platform in 2016. Liberals were especially glad to see the panels embrace transitioning to zero-emission new buildings by 2030, moving to clean electricity in 15 years, and creating jobs programs like those effectively used during the New Deal. You have the Biden campaign very publicly accepting a list of very progressive recommendations from quote-unquote both sides of the party and kind of making a tacit agreement that, if victorious, he's going to work to achieve these things, said Mejia. Irrespective of not being able to transform Joe Biden into Bernie Sanders, I honestly believe that this would be the framework for a progressive policy agenda across six vital issues. So I do think its a win. On criminal justice, Sanders appointees pointed to some wins, such as the task forces goals of financing a "civilian corps of unarmed first responders," removing a "budget rider blocking [Washington] D.C. from taxing and regulating legal marijuana," and holding back money from states that use cash bail. Biden has also previously come out in favor of progressive criminal justice policies such as ending cash bail, expunging prior marijuana use convictions and banning chokeholds by police. "Police spend so much of their time on nonviolent 'order maintenance' situations and health crises circumstances that definitely do not call for someone with a gun," said Chiraag Bains, co-chair of the criminal justice task force, who was selected by Sanders. "A 24/7 nonpolice responder corps aimed at supporting people, not arresting them, could have saved the lives of Rayshard Brooks, George Floyd and so many others." They really pushed them, added Sara Nelson, the Flight Attendants Association union leader who was chosen by Sanders to co-chair the economic task force. Using the federal purse strings to push state and local governments to end cash bail is extraordinary. Still, she added, It was always recognized that [the criminal justice panel] was going to be one of the toughest groups to make improvements. Stacey Walker, a Sanders appointee on the criminal justice task force, said, Obviously, we did not get everything we wanted, but this work represents an encouraging start to the important conversations around much-needed reforms. Michigan voted 56-44 to legalize marijuana two years ago. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:941865516] in Biden hold...

Were in the middle of a huge wave of support for criminal justice reform. Just fucking campaign on the easy thing. Joe Biden is not going to figure the hard shit out, hes clearly been terrible at that in regards to criminal justice for his entire career. Take this simple fucking step you old dumb fuck. Decriminalization is far more important that legalization in that regard, no? --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] <cite>COVxy posted [p:941878864] in Biden hold...
