When I was in college, there were 300,000 people incarcerated in the United States; today, there are 2.3 million. 1/3

Building prisons is a gargantuan urban industry. One of the reasons I want to end the War on Drugs is because almost half of our federal prisoners are nonviolent drug offenders. 2/3

We should change drug addiction from a criminal issue to a health issue. I don’t want a Drug Czar; I want a Recovery Czar. For a fraction of the money ($100B/yr) that we spend on the War on Drugs every year, we can have a world class network of recovery options. 3/3

How Americans who are assisting in the trafficking of hard drugs over the border? Are you planning on reforming them through counseling?

I assume you're sarcastic? The best way to stem the trafficking of hard drugs over the border is to end the Drug War, undercutting the black market of the drug cartels and giving us the resources to focus on the drug being used as a weapon to destroy us: Fentanyl.

Before we recognized the apartheid in South Africa our government officially listed Nelson Mandela as a terrorist.

Okay, I can't vote for Biden again because he denied 🇵🇸d**th toll undercounts. ...What's your opinion on Israel now--I could forgive ignorance on apartheid before a month of blatant war crimes, justified by collective revenge. 🇺🇸&🇮🇱 using the same terror logic that led to 9/11 ✈️

Maybe a handful of very concise, clippable speeches that will bait the establishment into widespread coverage but will appeal to the common people of this country. The establishment still has too much in this primary.
