The changes that these victorious state and local initiatives represent are less than 1% of what needs to be done regarding the so-called “criminal justice system.” But it represents a major turning of the tides. This is arguably the most important libertarian moment since the draft was ended in the Vietnam era.

Something seismic happened in this election and it has nothing to do with Joe Biden winning. And yes, Joe Biden did indeed win. I’m sorry for those of you Trump fans who believe the election was rigged against him. It simply wasn’t.
Yes, millions of Americans were indeed purged from the voter rolls – but they were mostly people of color. So if MAGA Nation are waiting for those votes to be counted, then Trump will actually do even worse. And I honestly don’t care if you’re thinking, “But I saw a video on Tik-Tok of someone burning a ballot and then smothering it in hot sauce and eating it.” That doesn’t mean 50,000 votes were switched in Nevada. I saw a video on Twitter of a guy who could shoot laser beams out of his urethra—that doesn’t make it REAL! …And before you ask – Yes, he used his power to fight crime.

So, the election fraudsters are hoping that we the people
will be pacified by irrelevant commentary regarding
the war on drugs. The idiots would have had no
more luck keeping us quiet if they’d
picked Bush’s phony War on Terror,,,, IYKWIM

I’m not sure it is irrelevant, Mike. I suspect Lee Camp is trying to demonstrate that there are US issues (more than you would expect) on which left and right agree.

How many black people are in jail for marijuana and bullshit. I was at a bus stop where a man with a pony tail and white power t-shirt, was across the street calling the cops on a developmentally delayed young black man. He was saying the kid was on drugs. 6 big white thug cops showed up and arrested the young black man.

You make an excellent point, Jesse. As I understand it, Nixon’s war on drugs was originally designed to win Republican votes to tap into deep seated racism in blue collar white people.

to dismiss hundreds of afidavits (legal evidence) and deep statistical evidence with the statement “they simple didn’t” (fix the vote) is telling. counterpunch is a gatekeeper–no real credibility.

In my experience, Ainsley, Counterpunch has strong links to the CIA and CIA-funded foundations.
