I don’t necessarily have a solution but same ole, same ole obviously doesn’t work. So someone trying something different certainly can’t hurt. But when it’s a broken society (lack of opportunity, wealth gap, etc) we need better leaders. Unfortunately, we have too many do nothing Republicans.

The DA prosecuted crimes. Unless you believe putting everyone in jail is the answer to reducing crime, there is no way it’s his fault. Since the US incarcerates more people per population than any other country, I happen to think putting people in jail is not the answer. It is so much more complicated. Political, social and economic failures are more at fault but as lazy Americans we want an easy answer. So blame Krasner. I don’t and the people elected him twice! So the Rs can go pack sand. Grandstanding yet again

Just as stupid as their national counterparts. Didn’t you get the election memo you dolts? You are now in the minority and STILL you waste taxpayer time on this nonsense when we need infrastructure, heating assistance, food assistance for families, etc. and THIS is what you waste our taxes on? I can’t wait until we wise up and throw you out of the Senate majority as well!

As long as the R heading the committee continues to believe it is the gateway drug to harder stuff he’ll never release it for a vote. As I mentioned in another post, what do Rs do FOR you? Nothing apparently, and they want all the weed tax money to go to NJ and MD. They will dog whistle their base about high taxes while they throw that one money away. As for gateway drug, do they think beer leads to whiskey drinking? Crazy, yet economically stupid.

That’s pretty funny. Taxes on the rich can’t get any lower and mine aren’t bad considering all the services I get. Meanwhile, the GOP has done nothing for small businesses. They tend to ignore them. And the current GOP cannot even spell ‘law’ unless it means incarcerating people in for profit prisons. I personally have never benefitted from a GOP led government.
