I think the bigger issue is that this is terrible timing for Biden and he’s being an idiot about it. The last thing he needs is to lose the youth vote.
Do you think it would be better for him to kick the can to the next president? I think that would only raise concerns that he’s in bed with China after a unanimous Senate vote.
Do you think anyone who would have voted for Biden would have believed he was in bed with China and then not done it?
Because I can think of a lot of young people who would be very pissed off by this. So yes, kicking the can down the road in terms of politics would have been the best thing to do.
I hear you. There’s not much he can do with such strong congressional support without it looking like a personal agenda.
He has a lot more to offer the youth vote than Trump, between marijuana reform, abortion rights, tuition reimbursement, DEI, LGBTQ+ rights, lower taxes, etc. He’ll have to run on those.
He really hasn’t reached out to the youth vote much so far, at least from what I’ve seen, although definitely legalizing marijuana would do it if he is able to (it’s more complicated than some people think).
He pushed to reschedule in his first year. HHS proposed rescheduling to class 3, from class 1. We’re waiting on approval from the DEA now.
It’s also on the November ballot in several states. The Florida Supreme Court, for example, put statewide marijuana legalization as well as abortion rights on this November’s ballot. This should encourage the 18-24 vote turnout. Trump only won the swing state with 3.6% last election, and he’s lost popularity in his home county.
