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 :/
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.
Bloody damn pixie
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.
Your texts are formatted much better than most. I’m not sure what concern you have with the spacing (what, is there an extra space after the pluses? Meh). Double texting is very common. You’re good, 8.
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.
Are you trying to making a connection between a bad / weak man and being gay? If so, that’s a shitty, inappropriate attempt at a joke.
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.
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)
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.
