Yeah so I asked "What has the left actually accomplished" not "what ineffectual actions are they doing to stop fascim after it's already taken power."

The legalization of cannabis can’t be solely attributed to leftists, but they certainly contributed to that accomplishment as well. And the decriminalization of psychedelics even moreso.

So those things were decriminalized by passing laws, correct? Kinda sounds like something you have to be politically active and vote for. Or do laws magically just pass when you stand around in the street with a cardboard sign?

Now let’s flip the question on you. What have the Democrats actually accomplished in the last 30 years?

Well, there was that thing you tried to take credit for, which is legalizing marijuana. We can also add legalizing gay marriage on top of that, those are two things that come to mind.
