Cory Booker, other 2020 Dem presidential hopefuls introduce federal marijuana legalization bill
Fox News
New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker introduced legislation to end the federal prohibition of marijuana on Thursday, joined by a series of other announced and potential Democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls including Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Bernie Sanders, and Kamala Harris.

Harris' support seemingly cemented her full-scale reversal on the issue. In 2010, Harris was among a handful of lawmakers — including then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger — to oppose Proposition 19, a measure to legalize recreational marijuana and allow it to be sold and taxed. Then San Francisco's district attorney, Harris called Proposition 19 a “flawed public policy.”

The move comes as polling increasingly shows widespread national support for legalizing the drug. A Fox News poll last year showed that 59 percent of voters support legalizing marijuana -- up from 51 percent in 2015, and 46 percent in 2013. Only 26 percent favored making “smoking marijuana” legal in 2001.

At this stage it's easier to show who ISN'T running isn't it?
 
What is Bidens status right now? Will he run? The establishment and the media love him and I expect him to win.
Then you will have it: Two fucking white and old males will decide the championship between themselves once again.

I think he said he’d decide by the end of February so “decide” must have not meant announce or not. All the articles I read is he has donors and staffers on standby but hasn’t confirmed he will. If he doesn’t run, I’ll never understand why he regretted not running in 2016.

I think that without a doubt Biden does not want to run. His only regret will be letting down the people around him(neocons and neolibs) who are seriously disturbed by the Democratic party actually moving to the left from the center.

If Biden jumps in with both feet he will pose a threat to Bernie. I'd consider it a toss-up.

This could be a good opportunity for the Dems to turn national discussions back into rational discussions. Take back control of the narrative from the insanity that Trump mania has wrought on all media.

But it'll mean that we stop entertaining jokes like Howard Schultz and for Dem candidates to raise the level of discourse to respectful.

It'll also mean for establishment Dems that they must accept Bernie's positions as mainstream and to not seek to undermine him- as well as to stop fucking with Tulsi and to show respect to her as a serious candidate, even if her positions are at odds with the corporate media darling aka The Pentagon.

If we're gonna quickly tackle the dire circumstances surrounding human pollution/climate change and health care then this primary cannot turn into a year long dogfight- it will without a doubt fracture the party and ensure these crises do not get solved in the near future.

Boom. Another of my predictions comes true.

This guy is a clown. I saw him on Bill Maher one year ago for the first time and knew immediately that he would be running for president. He wasn't talking like a human being, but more like an anti-Trump zombie.

I agree with most of those, but I think Commie Sanders is more potent than you think. Can give Trump some issues.

Also Klobuchar is dangerous to Trump. Not convinced she'll be able to stand out from the mob though.

All of them should be "dangerous to Trump" on the basis that all of them are smarter, more mature, and have much better policies.

How did that work for Hillary Clinton?

Electability is a function of a lot more than the items you listed.

US CO2 emissions have stabilized and even declined despite no national carbon tax or cap and trade legislation.

Would you prefer that the US attempt to punish China and India for their emissions increases?

I'm not saying being superior in every relevant way makes them a shoe-in (as it would in a remotely perfect world). But it should at least make them dangerous.
