Desantis enters Presidential race

[KCfromNC]

Can anybody explain what he means by 'leftism'

Anything he doesn't like. Past examples include the "wrong" types of immigrants, accurate education in schools, cartoon mice and abortion.

But more realistically, it'll be the political opposition being tarred and feathered as being woke or whatever the buzzword will be, regardless of what they actually support.

That is what I thought. It is nothing but a charged word to elicit a positive reaction from supporters. It can mean a couple dozen different things depending on what they are attacking at the moment. I can see why he had Florida change their law to allow him to run for president and still keep his job when he loses. He will never be president unless he lies, cheats and steals just like trump did and is still trying to do. I would be embarrassed to be a part of that party.

He'll stop the job creation, and increase the deficit?


Trump already constructed the border wall, and Mexico paid for it, remember?

The war on drugs has been such a success!

Why not legalize drugs and put the cartels out of business overnight?

Why don’t you go to Portland and see how legalizing drugs is working out.

This thread is about Desantis, not drugs in Oregon. However only marijuana and psilocybin were legalized. Marijuana is legal for recreational use in almost half of the country. Are you saying that legalized psilocybin is not working out well for Portland?

I was there recently. The problem is they legalized camping on the streets.

I agree that is part of the problem.

That's not legalized. That's decriminalization.

Semantics. I was a supervisor on a 5 county drug task force. While I agree that what we are doing is not working, decriminalizing drugs is not the cure all that people think it will be and it creates problems of its own.

Semantics? You are incorrect..

Decriminalisation​

When drug use and possession are decriminalised, criminal charges are not applied.

Do you care to address the issue or just want to argue about grammar?

Sure.... Actually, you called it semantics. The words are different, and the dictionary says so.

Here is the issue - Desantis

So you still think it’s marijuana and mushrooms to blame for all the problems in Portland?
