This is the wrong community to ask, but I really honestly wonder, how is it possible that in the midst of the "defund the police" movement, nobody on the left is advocating legalizing drugs and sex work? Isn't that most of removing needless jobs from cops?

Because it's all about winning the election. Advocating those right now will lose them votes.

I’m for legalizing drugs and sex work. Escorting is a conscious decision. I did it for a year in college. The war on drugs failed 20 years ago.

Would it? In comparison to being pro-riots and pro-anarchy? I'm really wondering more about the actual mob of the woke, many of whom STOPPED advocating these sensible positions only a few months ago. I wonder how long before they get off their leash...

the purpose of the riots is simply to make everyone unhappy - the less happy ppl are the more likely they vote the incumbent out.
It's all a bought and paid for show.

Good point. I figured the point was mostly to pretend they are peaceful, and bait Trump into a response that can be viewed as tyrannical. But you're right, in the big picture, suffering is usually bad for the incumbent however it plays out.

Yes they have tried to provoke Trump but he is well-advised and keeping his powder dry. Everything must be done within the law.

The liberal Mainstream Media is terrorizing the public through fake news, lies, and liberal propaganda. Republicans are cowards and some are also in on it.

Twetch ·

Yeah, well they just report that he's sending in his secret police anyway. Just like how they report the riots are all peaceful.

On an aside, by legalizing drugs we also defund the criminal operations of the CIA...

They can slant things but they can't outright lie about the facts without damaging their own credibility.
I sense a certain keenness about legalizing drugs. Have you considered moving to Peru? 🤪

I'm in Canada and would never want more than cannabis anyway. There is a definite eagerness to split the maoists in the woke crowd away from the rest, and try to show as many of the woke as possible that they will get more of what they want from Ancap

It's a good fight worth having.
