On the stump, Bernie Sanders makes pitch for legal pot in California

>>“It makes sense to legalize marijuana at this particular point," Sanders told supporters this week on a dusty softball field at a park in East Los Angeles where, like at many of his outdoor events in California, a slightly pungent pot aroma wafted through the air. “So if I were here in your state, I would vote yes on that issue."<<

bernie is decent, passionate, a true flower child thrown of out a commune for talking, always talking politics, and not working,  so he was tossed out of a commune where they enforced their motto, those who who do not work does not eats.  he was voted off the fine island!  all along he had an hilarious earnestness and chutzpah, and you know?  bernie has not changed.  he thinks that the rest of us can afford to work for and feed all those who just want it from the gov.  they get rewarded, not kicked off the island.  bernies' most glaring oversight:  he says nothing about cutting back the size of gov to deal with the debt.  Just cutting out corp welfare will not make 19 trillion dollars appear, nor will repatriating corp profits to be taxed, and both of these are laudable and should be done, presto!  But now about the remaining 17 trillion we owe?  Raise tax rates on the 1% to 91% of their incomes?  As it was in 1973? Now, about the remaining 16, the last 16 trillion?

bernie would stop using the army, which costs a couple billion each year?

 

seems pretty easy to balance the budget. even within 4 years.

or you can vote for hillary, who wants to continue war in iraq, afghanistan, syria, yemen, libya and even russia.

 

yeah, i'll vote 3rd party, gary johnson or jill stein, when you 3rd party muffin makers start getting pledges of people to vote, and you get 55 million people to pledge to vote 3rd party. otherwise you and 1-2 million people vote 3rd party and still we are in a 2 party system.

 

because theres about 60 million people who vote repub and 60 million people vote democrat and 3 million flip-floppers.

 

pledges. pledges are the answer.
