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.
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.
Not that I'm holding my breath, but having it (and legalizing recreational weed) on the ballot could make the Florida election more interesting.
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 :/
Exactly. I was going to reply to the original commenter saying, like, you know he's still got 3 other trials actively in progress right? (Well, 1 of those is indefinitely halted, but still).
The last poll considered in that link occurred on March 2-4. So the results seem outdated in regards to the recent convictions.
So your advice is: 1) don't pay it and 2) work and live in a different country. Super reasonable! /s
Men can criticize modern dating. Any gender can. I'm not saying you can't. The final frame in this comic portrays strong anger at rejection which is never okay. Sadness? Sure. Disappointment? Understandable. Anger? No. The anger signifies that you feel that the other person owes you something.
I mean, sure, the girl in the comic is super insulting. But obviously what she said wouldn't happen in real life. Overall, the comic just feels like a mythical scenario (which is completely cool for a comic) that's embracing toxic nice guy mentality (less cool).
At the risk of overanalyzing a web comic, I feel it's worth cautioning that this screams toxic nice guy syndrome.
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
The meat industry contributes to a significant amount of global carbon emissions (11-17% of global carbon emissions according to a few sources). The meat industry has been the primary reason for the Amazon rainforest's deforestation. Industrial cow, pig, and fish farms are quite destructive/poisonous in whatever environment they're in. The large amount of antibiotic misuse in meat farms is leading to super resistant bacteria. In multiple studies, a healthy vegan diet is has been shown to be better in multiple health metrics when compared to a healthy omnivore diet. And, finally, the meat industry is typically terrible for the life of animals involved, especially the large meat farms.
Overall, prolifers typically supporting the political parties that typically support the meat industry does suggest hypocrisy. I imagine that's what the original commenter was suggesting.
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.
