Biden promised no jail time for weed. He's running out of time to pardon cannabis convicts.

You're conflacting people saying "X won't be done until after the election" with "X will be done after the election." The former isn't a declaration that X will be done, just an assertion that if it is done it won't be until after the election.
And I still don't think it's gonna happen at all. Just look at how adamantly centrists continue to pretend that cannabis has been rescheduled when it fucking hasn't.
Ok, I'm not arguing whether it will or won't. I'm just pointing out how you're repeatedly accusing people of saying something they didn't. Just like how people accuse you of being pro-Trump when you say things that are anti-Biden or anti-Kamala.
So since they're gonna keep doing that no matter what, why should I bother with accuracy about them? They sure as fuck never have about me.
Far as I'm concerned, they're all in on the war on drugs and are delighted at all the lives it's ruined because it's disproportionately harmed minorities.
If they keep saying the worst about me, there's no reason at all to extend greater courtesy to them.
