Hot takes on the Democratic frontrunners

Biden was obsessed with very harsh "drug war" policies-- this came back into our minds recently when he said that pot might be a gateway drug, it just needs to be "studied" more. Guess why we haven't studied it?

I think it was a piece on The Young Turks where they examined how much he was an "architect" of the drug war, and poured his energy into pushing for it. That's a lot of incarceration.

He simply hasn't kept up. Most people really do stop learning much in their dotage, present company excepted.
