Most people actually voted in favor of the florida abortion ammendment. The threshold is just unusually higher (60%) than most states. It was close to 60% but just a little shy at around 57%
With a different national environment with just a bit higher dem turnout, it probably would’ve passed
Ah I looked a bit earlier with less vote percentage reporting. Guess the outstanding vote was in more republican areas than I had thought. Regardless, the rest of my point still stands even if the vote share is about the same this election
He still lost vote shared had just about the same vote share compared to the previous election. It’s just that dems didn’t show up as much. If his tariff plans go into effect, his support will almost certainly drop a fair amount more. A good chunk of people supported him because they thought he’d magically fix everything economically. Destroying the economy will turn people against him or at least not make them so actively support him
Tens of millions did not vote for this. If they want to take away rights, make every one a fight. Every thing that they have to spend time on keeps them from moving on to the next thing
There’s a decent chance Walz runs to be president in the future if Harris wins and I think he’d probably do fairly well in a primary and general
Puerto Ricans also move. Plenty in swing states + places with competitive down-ballot races. Republicans are already trying to back track on this, they think it hurts them
Peurto Ricans by state
EDIT: also worth mentioning that he also said other racists remarks too
“These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do,” Hinchcliffe said, setting up his joke: “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country.”
Hinchcliffe also told a joke about one of his Black “buddies” and how they “carved watermelons” together.
Important: If you’re on the suspese list rather than being fully removed (unsure if that’s the case here), you might still be able to vote but will need to show proof of residence. Contact your registrar to check that and ask them about it
If voters find out they’re still on the suspended list after having shown up at their polling places on Election Day, they can still vote after they complete a “statement of residence” form.
Voters with suspended status who may have moved to other counties will be required to vote in the counties where they previously resided or may be asked to submit provisional ballots.

As a note to all: Check your voter registration status today as deadlines are very fast approaching (or even already past in some states)
Fox news would never be so concerned about such “details” like “hey that’s obviously not a fox, what are you on about” /s
(I uploaded the wrong photo)
Fox news yet again lying through omission and blatantly forgetting the important news of foxes eating watermelons
It’s u/whitehouse
The X service remains available to the people of Brazil, billionaire Elon Musk’s platform said on Saturday.
Wait so what do they mean by stopping operations in Brazil then? Just the offices and staff? The article isn’t super clear on it
OP’s account has no posts but three spamming this “IQ testing” site
Reminder to always keep up the fight. Even when things seem inevitable, fights can be won. That goes both ways: don’t get complacent and don’t get despaired
Get active, and get involved
Raising the wage of 1 million contractors is not just words. Yes, we do need more, but don’t it’s certainly not nothing
Part of the goal is to encourage their campaign to get more of a mastodon presence
Most of those claims about treatment of trans people are just false. They are primarily based on misattributed actions of other people which harris has denounced
Here’s a good article looking at just that
Not saying she’s perfect, but consider with the two party system in the US, the alternative is far far worse
Harris has generally pushed for minimum wage increases where she can. For instance
August 08, 2023
FACT SHEET: Vice President Harris Announces Action to Raise Wage Standards Over Time For More Than One Million Construction Workers
She has advocated for $15/hr minimum wage and joined protesting and striking workers in that push before

Unlike a certain rich republican candidate who has misused funds, the money goes to their campaign not the person themselves
US elections certainly takes way more money than it should but until Citizen United gets overturned, donating is an unfortunately important part of elections for those who can afford to do so
The irony of having to fill out a captcha before you can play the game is really something
Yes, they did really buy Info Wars. Here’s a serious site talking about it:
