Cannabis is still not actually legal at the federal level. The Democratic president shat on the railroad union. And of course, we are destroying the climate. Where are the Democrats on any major issues facing the country? These problems have been growing worse for two decades. Whenever someone runs on progressive platforms, the party funds their opponents. They actively worked against Senator Sanders’ run for president.
They’ll happily lose elections to keep donations rolling in
