It depends on how you define addiction.

They create physical withdrawal. But they’re not habit-forming as they have no direct action on dopamine.

So… as physically addictive as coffee and less psychologically addictive than television.

Anyway, they’re easy to get off of if you switch to one with a long half life (prozac) and taper from there. Easier to give up than caffeine. Or TV.

I believe they’d have to reschedule cannabis federally to tax it.

I would be asking for a year of salary up front, in addition to my regular paycheck.

Because there is no way in hell I would trust this jackal with my job security.

If they’re terrorist organizations, then the US arms industry are their accomplices.

That’s her argument.

It’s like this, Trump, “Mexico’s terrorist cartels are sending drugs to the US.”

Sheinbaum, “Well… they’re being armed by US weapons manufacturers.”

Both countries are saying illegal shit is being sent over their borders. Trump is putting all the blame on Mexico. Sheinbaum is saying, you’re companies are helping the cartels, asshole!

Why do Democrats talk like they can win elections but then blame voters when they lose?

And to be honest, I don’t really even follow your post. Are Democrats not progressives? Are we agreeing that they are center right and that their base isn’t really motivated to vote for that?

And comments like you post, that are just parroting the Democrats platform of blaming their voter base, when they don’t know how to inspire that base… it’s getting old. And judging by all the downvotes on your comments, I guess it’s getting old for a lot of other people too.

All right you can spend the next 4 years blaming the left.

In the meantime I’m just going to remind you that in 2016 a populist left-wing candidate ran a very good primary without any corporate donations. Leftist policies and platforms are popular. And giving people the choice between center right and far-right doesn’t motivate voters.

Politicians don’t cater to groups that don’t vote.

Nah, they just cater to their corporate donors and folks that would never vote for them. Sliding more right every year and expecting everyone to hold their nose.

And then you want to blame leftists, when this is an alt account my main is on hexbear. Most real leftists I talk to voted for Harris. Because we’re not idiots.

But keep blaming us that the Democrats ran a shit campaign chasing Republican voters and corporate campaign dollars, while neglecting to get their base off the couch.

I voted for Harris. I’m scared shitless because I’m a trans woman

And I’m really fucking tired of posters on Lemmy blaming the left for not voting for more genocide and more center right politics from the Democrats.

If the Democrats want leftists to vote for them, they can start running on leftist policies and start running leftist politicians. Instead of running center right politicians on center right platforms.

They need to fire up the voters so that people want to vote for them. Instead their whole game is be scared if we lose. And blame voters for our loss.

It doesn’t inspire confidence and neither has the last two months since the election.

And comments like you post, that are just parroting the Democrats platform of blaming their voter base, when they don’t know how to inspire that base…

It’s getting old. And judging by all the downvotes on you’re comment, I guess it’s getting old for a lot of other people too.
