Those 3 states are huge, but the other swing states are definitely still a factor. If Harris wins all 3 Blue Wall states, she very likely will win the presidency. However, if she doesn’t win all 3, then either candidate’s victory will likely be decided by the other swing states - Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, and Georgia.
I agree with everything you’re saying, except:
We’re founded under a “1 person, 1 vote” ideology
At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, delegates debated between Congress choosing the next president vs a straight popular vote. The former risked corruption between the legislative and executive branches, and the latter gave too much power to the uneducated, sometimes-mob-esque populous. After several debates, a compromised was reached - electors. These intermediaries wouldn’t be picked by Congress or elected by the people. Instead, the states would each appoint independent electors who would cast the actual ballots for the presidency.
Overall, though some founders agreed with a “1 person, 1 vote” ideology, they were not the majority… unfortunate though that was.
clearly suffering from a mental health episode
It’s horrifying that Trump’s campaign manager would casually make this significant health claim on an official that dared to do his job rather than bow to Trump’s will. Just horrifying.
Furthermore Trump’s staffers verbally assaulted and physically pushed at least one cemetery official when that official tried to bar access into the photography-restricted area.
“since the financial crisis” - You’ll have to be more specific than that 🥲
I was really hoping the second forgiveness plan would automatically include those that were approved for the first plan :/
The last poll considered in that link occurred on March 2-4. So the results seem outdated in regards to the recent convictions.
Bloody damn pixie
Why? You’re disappointed with the explanation? Disagree with it? Or you don’t like its somewhat informal tone? I thought it was well written, enjoyed the information / humor, and can respect the explanation.
I appreciate the spirited response, but you’re misunderstanding things.
Arizona, like 14 other states in the U.S., allows its governors to appoint justices to its highest court but gives voters the opportunity to vote them out later on. In Arizona, the initial retention vote takes place two years after justices are appointed. If a justice is not voted out, they will face another retention vote every six years; if they are removed, the current governor is allowed to appoint a new person to the state Supreme Court, albeit from a list provided by a statewide judicial commission.
The previous post was merely attempting to specify how to “vote out” judges facing a retention vote.
Calculating the total number of hours that one sees their parents, and then dividing that total by 24 to determine the “number of days” they’ve spent with their parents is misleading and nonsensical. You yourself spend nearly every other day with your folks and, through your math, you’ve calculated that you’re “really only” spending 5% (1.6 years / 30 years) of your time with them. This reminds me of (though is not nearly as bad as) this “A Day Off” anti-time-off propaganda.
Edit: Grammar
White Lotus is what first came to mind for me. Left me on the edge of my seat. And during every episode I always felt like I KNEW what had / will happen, only to be debunked and on a completely new theory by the end of the next episode. Loved it and an looking forward to season 3.
Not sure if it’d help, but you could stick a buuunch of camping, hiking, outdoors, etc. stickers on your van. Try to turn its image from a “ghetto” van to a “hippy / outdoor enthusiast” van. I imagine you can order large sticker packs online for very cheap.
If this initiative ended up on the ballot, no way would AZ voters vote for something that would kill their future ability to vote for a president.
AZ State legislature leans red, but not by nearly enough to overdrive their Dem governor’s vetoes.
In several of the parks, yes! Hell, getting drunk off of “drinks from around the world” at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT is a popular theme for adult guests nowadays. However, I’ll mention that Disneyland is still quite restrictive (though their neighboring park, California Adventure, is not and fully embrace alcohol sales).
Several of the global Disney parks besides California Adventure sell alcohol. Even in the original park, Disneyland, which has long had a nearly total ban on alcohol has relented and has started selling booze in limited venues (most notably, the Blue Bayou restaurant, which is a fantastic restaurant btw). Money talks, and booze is pretty good money.
Actually about 7% of those that have tried it are still alive and well! 😀 (Our current global population represents about 7% of all humans that have ever lived)
You’d 100% be selling overpriced alcohol in an adult-centric theme park. If Six Flags and even Disney have figure out how to do it safely (and very profitably, I’m sure), so can other theme parks.
This fraud has been known about and even covered fairly well by some news outlets. For example, check out the CNN special report, Trumping Democracy An American Coup, for a lot of details surrounding it and other aspects of Trump’s attempts to retain power. It’s been a while since I saw it, but if I recall correctly, a really cool thing about this report is that all/most of the politicians interviewed are Republicans. i.e. It’s not just a Democrat-spun narrative.
FL also has recreational weed and abortion rights on their ballot this election. I’m not necessarily holding my breath, but those could help push their left-leaning voter turnout.
