Legal weed: Bernie Sanders, 2020 presidential candidates on marijuana legalization.


Sanders signed onto the Marijuana Justice Act, as well as the SAFE Banking Act, which would protect banks who have cannabis industry clients. He has not signed onto the STATES Act. We need to stop imprisoning people for smoking marijuana and start prosecuting the crooks on Wall Street whose greed and illegal behavior caused the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression." (May 16, 2018)



With the legalization of marijuana been a hot topic this map for Sanders of the top.

Well I know "healthy" folks who passed away by heart attack in their 40s. You never know when your time will come

Anyway, Trump has incredible energy for being what, 72? He runs around like a 40 year old.

Bernie on the other hand, just looks and acts tired, exhausted and drained, all the time.

He won't have to worry though, he'll lose anyway. Will be entertaining to watch though!

Do you like any of the Dems running for President so far, or are you suggesting that you want four more years of a narcissistic, lying, reality show host, and a VP that looks like a mannequin/statue?

Default What Is Bernie Sanders These Days?

In 2016 Bernie Sanders ran as a Democrat. Then, didn't he go back to being an Independent who caucuses with Democrats? I thought he did. And now he's running again in 2020 as a what?

If he's only a Democrat when he's running for President, why do the Democrats let him do that? Notice, I'm not asking why he's doing it (if he is). I already know that answer. I'm asking why the Democrat Party lets him do it. If he's running as a Democrat in 2020, why aren't the other Democrat candidates complaining?

If he's running as an Independent or a Socialist, and I have it wrong, I apologize in advance.

Here's a good explanation:

Quote:
DNC members passed a new rule last August, which was seen as a response to the Sanders campaign, requiring all candidates "to affirm in writing" that they "are a member of the Democratic Party, will accept the Democratic nomination; will run and serve as a member of the Democratic Party."

A lot of people laugh at Bernie, but you have to admit, the guy drummed up a lot of very passionate supporters last election. A lot of what he says makes sense, maybe not all, but his heart and mind are in the right place. He definitely cares about people and what happens to them.

Now, whether or not that makes him a good candidate for this office, not so sure about that. But, after Trump, a Chimpanzee in a suit would be an improvement...….a YUGE improvement !

I guess he’s running as a Democrat, but he and AOC are members of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Trump runs?

Bernie runs (to the train, not his private jet!):

What is Bernie Sanders these days?

Same as Hillary, Trump, and all the others that ran in 2016 and will run in 2020: a sociopath hellbent on attaining power to feed his megalomania.
