AR, MD, MO, ND, and SD voting on legal weed.

Also I think NE, NV, and DC have minimum wage hikes on the ballet.

Look, Missouri, can we talk real quick? This isn't about how awesome weed is or how horrific a plague the devil's lettuce is. Your vote on whether or not to legalize marijuana has absolutely nothing to do with marijuana. It's about loving with Kansas. You know how bad those dipshits flip out on their border with Colorado. Don't you want to see them rending their clothes and screaming wards against Satan on the other bank of the Missouri? We both know that you do.


I don't like them, and they're terrible people, but at least the Business Whores, Jesus Freaks, and MAGA Chuds have a loving ethos. Sure, they may think that the country is being run by James Woods using a voice modulator and a Biden mask, but at least they're not going to randomly flip their stupid choice for imbecilic reasons.

Moderates and Independents are the deer on the highway of our democracy. Just randomly flitting between jumping out of the way of cars and jumping directly into cars.

The media and system propaganda has done a good job about both sidesing things and the need to be balanced to the point people don't recognize what it takes to have a functional society. It just happens to be progressive/liberal.

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

In order of political irritation:
1) People who are above politics/why can't we all just talk to each other. Hey, Blonde Brenda, this isn't wisdom learn what'sfucking going on in your life.
2) Moderates who think they are smart because they "vote both sides" and "keep an open mind." gently caress off you just like attention.
3) People who gripe and get scared but won't knock a door or make a call.

Also, gridlock in the sense that one side won't even come to the table if their agenda is not met. The other side is punished for using the same tactics.

MA Secretary of State (Commonwealth) Bill Galvin, I wanna know, how do you folks feel about Galvin? He's been incumbent since 95, I guess you seldom lose a primary (has an incumbent ever lost one?), his web site and presence is kind of vague. How about this Bill Galvin guy folks. I forgot he existed to be honest.

Also how do you feel about voting when you don't know who the person is. I feel like Galvin is unstoppable no matter what we do, he seems more like a myth than a man. I do leave some of the things blank, I'm trying folks.

Agreed. I'm gay and i would 100% vote yes on that question. Things are getting progressively worse and haven't slowed down. My state is currently ramming through a bill tonight to make it legal to discriminate against gays/trans and couching it in "Religious freedom".

It's a terribly worded question though. Are they asking if "things are getting worse" IE: Those drat gays are being too loud. or "Things are getting worse" IE: I don't go anywhere unless I'm armed because some trump wacko might decide to kill me.
