Even with that being the case, we would still end up with 4-8 good years, with some of the orders sticking long term as they become norms, like others mentioned. Moreover, it's a better scenario than having a Dem president just stay the course on Trump's shit and letting his successor take things even further down the shithole.
Yes, true. The nice thing, though, is that it will triage what's broken and stop the bleeding while we work on long term solutions.
Possibly, but I see a problem whereby the public starts thinking that we've now solved something after an EO and agitation/appetite for long-term legislative solutions becomes more of an afterthought as a result.
Every single Republican defence is now exhausted and effectively dead.
As if they'll act like like it. I guarantee you if a Democrat wins 2020 and does even 1/20th of what Trump has done with executive orders, we'll be hearing Tucker Carlson cry "THIS IS THE DEATH OF OUR DEMOCRACY!" on Fox Prime Time.
Yep, but now there is zero good-will left among the entire span of the Democratic party to dignify that bullshit.
Don't count on that.
More than half of Democrats will gladly forget everything for the sake of "healing the nation."
.....?
Now that is excellent, and much needed!
You're right. It's not fair of me to say that it literally doesn't mean "anything" as it does stop the influx. I just hate how some people act like thats the whole solution and preemptively pat themselves on the back.
That right there, pretty much is the core on which Democrats should be voting in the Primary.

If they legalize it and expunge records, why does it matter if people vote for it just because they want to get high?
Oh that's what you meant by positive effect. I thought you were referring to only the legalizing portion. Sorry for misunderstanding.
cool, yea, we should definitely just compromise with Republcians then.
Ah no worries. I just think it's important to get people to check the ballot box, regardless of how they are convinced lol
This, sadly. I mean, w/ all the trivial shit they complained about regarding Obama, you'd think whoever the next Republican president was going to be would have to play their part perfectly.
It's gonna be valid right until that president's term so yeah I guess.
Don't count on that.

Unfortunately that will always happen in this country, which is why progress can only happen with having a Supreme Court majority or always controlling the House and Senate.
