15. No problem, here comes the cut...

You see, if you can't create even the slightest reasonable, valid, coherent explanation for why your pro-drug position could even exist, then clearly no-one in any camp can be expected to even begin to consider your claim that your pro-drug stance is some kind of civil right.

And let me elaborate on the Herculean task you're faced with:

Your case just on the pro-drug stance is unacceptable to a super-majority of LGBT, Blacks, Latinos, Women, Asians, Native Americans, White folks... yeah... caught you off guard there? Well, look at the the stats for what percentage of White folks voted for Obama and Romney... that's a lot of people there.

And you can be damn sure that that whole super-super majority (you can be double-damn sure you ain't getting any Republicans on you side) won't agree that a pro-drug position has anything to do with civil rights.

Get it.
