Yes, the Democrat party is now officially pushing for the total legalization of marijuana.
They aren’t, however, opposing globalist trade deals. Or Israeli ethnic cleansing.
This is the official convention vibe:
VOX:
There were many wins for Sanders supporters in the draft platform
$15-an-hour minimum wage: Democrats embraced pushing for a $15 minimum wage. Whether that is actually a good idea is up for debate, but nevertheless it is a big win for the Sanders campaign and the Fight for $15 movement.
Stronger language on criminal justice: The platform calls on the Department of Justice “to investigate all questionable or suspicious police-involved shootings,” which is substantially stronger language than the 2012 platform.
Marijuana legalization: The platform also calls for a “reasoned pathway to future legalization” of marijuana, which Clinton’s campaign has largely resisted.
Carbon pricing: The drafted platform calls for carbon pricing, which would tax carbon to recognize its impact on the environment.
Federal reserve reform and closing the revolving door: The platform says the party will fight against permitting bank executives to sit on Federal Reserve boards. The platform also called for the party to move toward banning “golden parachutes for those taking government jobs” and to seek to bar bank regulators from taking any action related to their former employers.
Wall Street reform: The platform says the party will work to crack down on Wall Street by stopping banks from choosing the credit agencies that rate their products.
Tax loopholes for estates and hedge funds: The draft also has strong, Sanders-like language on the need to “immediately close egregious loopholes like those enjoyed by hedge fund managers, restore fair taxation on multimillion dollar estates, and ensure millionaires can no longer pay a lower rate than their secretaries.”
Death penalty: The platform also has new language calling for an end to the death penalty.
Where Sanders lost
The Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal: While recognizing that some Democrats, such as Sanders, disagree with the Obama administration–brokered TPP deal, the platform’s language does not oppose the trade deal.
As Vox’s Jeff Stein explained, this loss for the Sanders camp makes sense, as “it’d be awkward for the Democratic Party to oppose a deal brokered and supported by President Obama — but it’s also odd given that Hillary Clinton herself also opposes the trade proposal, at least as a matter of record.”
Israeli settlements: The platform does not include any language critical of Israel’s settlements, despite efforts from the Sanders allies who were looking to add language “aimed at criticizing the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, demanding ‘an end to illegal settlements’ and supporting the re-building of the Gaza Strip.”
Fracking: The platform does not call for an end to hydraulic fracturing, more commonly known as “fracking”; however, it does say that the decisions of municipalities where the local government objects to the practice should be respected.
This is a frigging disaster.
And then you add her main platform – legalization of all illegal aliens, mass ISIS immigration plus other immigration, banning guns, banning free speech, etc.
If this woman wins, we are entirely doomed.
