Honestly, I don't think legal MJ is anymore. Business cons have advocated it from a "good for the economy" standpoint, older cons have advocated for it from a "I need a pain reliever that isn't an opioid" standpoint, and liberals have advocated for it from a "We believe in freedom" standpoint.
The other two, though? Yeah, leftist positions in the U.S. (and abolishing ice is a FAR-left position).
That's what I'm saying. Florida is going to become the next Kansas. It's going to be a disaster, but hopefully we learn from it. I just know I'm not staying here.
It really sucks because, somehow, the state has voted down all of Scott and the Florida GOP's bullshit in the past. Of course, we finally fully embrace their agenda, outside of Amendment 4, at the same time Scott takes down Nelson and DeSantis wins.
Yeah, you're right. MJ is certainly trending in the right direction. Just will take time as I doubt any court case will come in to legalize it overnight.
From 0.000000000000000000000000000001% to 0.000000000000000000000000000002%?
Nelson ain't happenin.
I was going to say the same about Sinema, but 600k ballots left to be counted? Mostly from Maricopa? Definitely still in play.
As I said last night: I'd be ecstatic with a 53-47 Senate.
The Democrats can flip the Senate in 2020. You guys are being way too pessimistic this morning.
Four states out of Maine, North Carolina, Arizona, Alaska, Iowa, Georgia, Texas, and Montana can be flipped.
Colorado and Alabama cancel each other out as has already been mentioned.
Yeah, Gore conceded the presidential election the night of in 2000, and then took it back the next day when the Florida count ended up being close enough that it could have flipped in a recount.
If Gillum's margin gets under half a point I imagine he'll ask for a recount.
Oh, I'm with you on that disappointment. If I were God-King of the USA, I'd abolish ICE and Homeland Security. Wastes of money and abuses of power both, they are.
That Jeff Sessions came into the AG job talking some shit about attacking state MJ laws and then didn't do a damned thing about it seems like a harbinger that this issue is firmly something that Americans across the spectrum agree is up to the states at the very least.
And then you look at how a blood red shithole like MO voted re: MJ legalization last night, and you realize that marijuana legalization advocates have done what they needed to do to destigmatize weed in the collective consciousness of Americans.
That would put the U.S. into a recession if a state the size of FL collapsed like KS did under Brownback. It would be absolutely devastating. But maybe its what FL needs.

Based on exit polls, almost every demographic went to the left.

God, I wish I cared about Smash (just not really a big fighting fan or even a Smash fan at this point, just lost interest after Melee since I don't really have anyone to play with, definitely not interested in online or the single-player content, which doesn't leave me with much reason to bother) or Pokémon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu at all (looks pretty, but just no interest in such a Kanto-heavy experience for the billionth time), so I could get lost in them right now. Just wish that like Gen 8 or something was coming out this year instead so I had something to look forward to. Instead, don't think there's anything really big for me until whenever Animal Crossing Switch comes out. :(
Dems will need 5 seats unless Sinema pulls this out. Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, Maine, and Arizona are the only real pickup opportunities and the likelihood of running the table on all of them is really small. We're not taking out incumbents in deep red states, sorry.
No medicaid expansion, now requires a super majority to raise taxes and cuts will definitely come to state government programs. It'll be a recipe for disaster I think.
I'm feeling like where's my fucking Super Mario Odyssey DLC?
(I know, I know, they're just going to put out a full-fledged sequel in two years, but I don't want to wait that long, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme now.)
i can't believe they elected someone as blatantly incompetent and fucking stupid as DeSantis to governor. like trump is a buffoon but he didn't look completely detached on the debate stage like DeSantis did
this state is gonna be fucked
this state is gonna be fucked
I think DeSantis is considerably more fiscally conservative judging by how he voted in congress, although idk I guess we haven't seen what Rick Scott will be like in the senate. I think we've also seen that DeSantis is clearly more racist and open about it than Rick Scott.
edit: i meant congress not senate
And this is a state folks want to give up on in 2020. It might be expensive and tough to win but taking it obliterates any path to 270 for the GOP.
I was using your 54-46 prediction for the final Senate count. Assuming the Democratic candidate wins the presidency only 4 seats have to be flipped. You only need 50 seats if you control the executive branch.
I figured that was a foregone conclusion. Colorado is basically a blue state at this point.
I'm still in shock Joe Manchin not only managed to win, but it wasn't even a "too-close to call", almost called immediately.
What the fuck.
What the fuck.
What senator was crying to his constituents to vote in a Republican Gov before he died and was replaced by a Dem?
