The States : red states in a race to the bottom

Oh come on. Just because all of us at the table can see the Republican Party is sitting on a two of spades, six of diamonds, Jack of hearts, a joker card, and Ayad Futayyih Khalifa al-Rawi because they think they have a royal flush since the back of the cards they're staring at are all the same...

Well, that all but insures Arizona for Joe Biden. I think Wisconsin is pretty close to begin locked up. And Nebraska is still handing 1 vote to the Democrats.

I also think Florida might be in play.

Florida for Biden is not going to happen...but Rick Scott has to be sweating.

Zona was going to be close again but there is no chance Maricopa flips back Red when Abortion is on the ballot. Adding in the Kari Lake Albatross locks it. If Nevada gets it on the ballot then Trump is in all sorts of trouble even if he gets Latinos on his side. (and I dont think he will much outside of Florida) The math just doesn't work. Assuming Michigan and Sconnie stick Blue and Abortion keeps Nevada and Zona Blue then Trump needs to flip Georgia AND Pennsylvania to hit 270. Basically, in general, he needs to put all his effort into flipping Pennsylvania or his chances are really bad.

And this is why pretending the polls matter is just stupid. According to polling Trump is neck and neck in the youth vote. Now look, I don't trust people and young people have proven to be very stupid in the past. But as someone who teaches youth of varying ages I can tell you they may not like Joe Biden but they HATE Donald Trump. Even if you assume the Pro-Palestine Youth want to abandon Biden...they won't risk putting in Trump who is so Pro-Israel he might as well join Likud. (not to mention he loves indiscriminate killing) Right now telling some pollster you might vote against Biden has no consequence, in November it does. I also don't think, when push comes to shove, the Blacks who are not for Biden now (like they werent before Clyburn endorsed him in 2020) will come around as Trump ups his cop/racist rhetoric. Charlemagne the God can spout his BS all he wants, he can kiss up to Candace Owens and whatever other racist homophobes he choses...I don't see Blacks en masse supporting a man who is for mass incarceration and the death penalty for drug offenses.
 
The fact that Eva Bronze came out against this ruling tells you all you need to know about where the country is on abortion rights.

It is always funny to watch them come out against the exact thing they supported just months ago. She was openly pimping this in an interview in 2022...but now that she realizes her slim chances to be a Senator just died like a Black Man at a Trump rally during COVID she is backtracking like there is no tomorrow.

Totally agree. She will say anything that she finds politically expedient.

Personally I found it funny when she spouted "we are all about States Rights" while also being mad that the state for making a decision. Her and Trump have no idea what a State is or how States Rights work which is hilarious and sad.
 
New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu said he would support former President Donald Trump’s presidential bid this week, falling in line behind the presumptive Republican nominee after former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who had earned his coveted endorsement ahead of his state’s primary, suspended her campaign this week.

“I’m going to support the ticket. I’m going to support Donald Trump,” Sununu told WMUR on Thursday. “But my focus is definitely going to be here in the state.”

The Republican governor, who is leaving office after his term ends this year, said he didn’t regret any of his criticism of Trump’s electability or age, but emphasized that he still preferred Trump to President Joe Biden.

“I mean, the alternative is Biden, and I think folks are seeing a lack of management, a lack of understanding of what’s happening with immigration, a lack of fiscal responsibility,” he said.

Can someone explain his line of reasoning to me? Pretend I'm 5 years old. Cause I really really want to understand it.

I remember Sununu's father. They are opportunists with zero beliefs. This is just a finger in the wind for his future GOP chances; he may even have national ambitions. He has no logic or principles, like Dear Old Dad.

I don't know why NH doesn't see through him and kill him, but I don't understand Maine and Collins, either. Voters are stupid.
 
Alaska Court rules public money to fund private or religious schools is unconstitutional

The ruling points to Article VII, Section 1 of the Alaska State Constitution which states:

“The legislature shall by general law establish and maintain a system of public schools open to all children of the State, and may provide for other public educational institutions. Schools and institutions so established shall be free from sectarian control. No money shall be paid from public funds for the direct benefit of any religious or other private educational institution.”

The people who helped Alaska gain statehood and framed the state constitution were likely some of the most brilliant politicians of the 20th century. Sadly, it’s been every generation of politician since then that has ruined the state.
 
Around here anyway homeschooling is just a method for paranoid evangelicals to keep their kids brainwashed a few more years. I don't know if that's typical or local.

I can imagine in a rural, inclement place homeschooling might not just be a con? Maybe?

No, definitely still a con here in inclement, derpy Florida.

If only there was a way around this one, simple fact.

I have members who make $35/hour but who complain about my union's efforts to raise minimum wages to first $15 and now $20/hour because they believe it when someone who makes $35,000/hour tells them raising the minimum wage to something a person can actually live on will destroy the economy.

I have other members who work in law enforcement who won't support our PAC because we support Biden and Sherrod Brown, and they believe it when trump says both want to de-fund the police and have both taken steps to actually accomplish defunding the police. This is despite the fact it is their own boss (Governor DeWine (R)) and a gerrymandered super republican majority in the Ohio House and Senate who refuse to propose the increases in spending necessary to attract and retain qualified parole officers (the only "cops" I have any sympathy for).

Sadly, it doesn't matter what FACTS we have to back up our information because they have gathered their own "facts" that support their stupidity and they have too much pride to say "Wow, I was sure wrong about that, thanks for helping me see the truth." Congress has a 90% disapproval rating in every single poll, yet 90% of them keep getting re-elected because not only are American voters stupid, they will never admit to being wrong. "Congress sucks and is full of idiots and losers, but MY guy is all right because I'm brilliant and would never vote for a loser idiot."

This happens every time the governor is on the minority party. It happened here in MA around when Ted Kennedy died. It's super frustrating.

Didn’t they already have it so that the replacement had to come from the same party? And if I remember right the party got to pick a shortlist who the governor chose from.

If anything, this would seem to hurt them if something were to happen. Now there’s a much longer time period with one less GOP vote.
