Georgia voters also need to be reminded that marijuana reform is on the ballot.

Mitch McConnell has said if he's Majority Leader the House bill being voted on for marijuana reform will NEVER come up in the Senate. At what point do people who cast millions more votes for Democrats get sick enough of this Jim Crow Republican party to overwhelmingly vote them out? And calling them "Jim Crow" isn't hyperbole. Under McConnell, only Republicans get to chose judges. Only Republicans decide who has a job in the president's cabinet. Only Republicans decide who get relief or aid during this pandemic.

Only Republicans get to say what will be the law.

This has to stop.

It's not democracy if only one political party decides what's good for everyone. McConnell is every bit of an authoritarian as Trump, and he's smarter and effective at it.

Progress is on the ballot, Georgia.

Can’t think of anything that will get the young folks to the polls like marijuana reform. I don’t think Pelosi would have brought this up if she was unsure if she had the votes.
