It appears Democrats have been effectively and institutionally cowed by the GOPers regarding the WOD; to wit, we won't be accused of being Soft on Drugs®, or Soft on (Anything)®.

The Democratic Party is complicit in the WOD's prison-industrial project. The Party's policies on the WOD will change ONLY when activists at the state level keep kicking from below, and when the GOP loses interest in the issue and thereby gives Democrats de facto permission to move as far as the GOP allows.

The GOPer OWNS Democrats with regards to the WOD.
