re: #215 Killgore Trout
Politically a lot of this stuff is untouchable so he’d have to wait for a second term. Unfortunately, Dems lost congress and Republicans are going to block everything. I had hopes we might see a Federal decriminalization of weed but that’s looking doubtful.
He’s also probably going to leave office with Gitmo still open, indefinite detention laws and a whole bunch of other stuff still on the books.
I have slim hope that someday we might see publicly funded campaigns but that’s also looking very doubtful.
Yeah, political realities make a lot of this stuff hard. Hence why I have my disappointments with him but I don’t feel “sold out” either.
