The war on drugs only wasted shit loads of money to fuel the prison labor industry.
Sounds like we need to do it better.
For all the gun deaths liberals like to talk about, these newer drugs are more dangerous and are the #2 killer after COVID-19 (and now that vaccination is widespread, Fentanyl is probably #1 now).
This can very well become a Democrat / Liberal weakness if y'all let it faster. Some kind of acknowledgement or even policy to address this large scale killer of Americans is needed.
The article points out that not a single fentanyl speaker was at the DNC.
So there currently is an appearance where it looks like Democrats don't care.
Saying that you're against the war on drugs in a decade where Fentanyl/ illegal drugs is the #2 killer after COVID-19 is a bad strategy that's all I'm pointing out.
Being “against” a failed “solution” that was designed to incarcerate and create recidivism in a system that profited off the only legal form of slavery, is not stupid or a bad “strategy”.
Morally, ethically, and pragmatically, it’s the right call to move to an actual solution.
And there are a lot of issues that didn’t have speakers at the DNC.
