2019-2020 US Election Megathread II: Tim Ryan's Empire

[San Lumen]

And if judges disagree then your opinion is invalid. We enshrined Roe into law in New York this year as result of the State Senate flipping last year. Elections have consequences.

Indeed, they have consequences, but the Supreme Court won't be affected in the same way state governments are. If Roe v. Wade is overruled, your opinion is invalid.

And abortion will still be safe and legal in New York if Roe is overturned

I love how you seem to think Abortion is a winning issue for the Dems after the incident with Virginia.

What incident? Is the PBS poll wrong or biased somehow?

I didn't state anything to the contrary. If it can be turned over to the states, so be it.

Yeah, rooting it our of blue states will be harder.

Support for the ability to have an Abortion, and support for unlimited access to abortions are two different things. Despite the Democrats pretending the two are one and the same for ages.

Any states with Pot on the ballot this year?

Any states with Pot on the ballot this year?

At the moment, no. Ohio does have an initiative going through the petition stage right now, but that'll be some time before we know how that goes. Washington state also has two identical initiatives, I-1659 and I-1670, that would ban growing marijuana in residential zones, they are also still in the petition stage.

Sounds like a ploy by farmers to corner the market

Growing it at all, or in certain amounts?

Both say growing it at all. I-1659 simply bans it and labels it a Class C Felony, while I-1670 goes several steps further by punishing landlords and property owners with life imprisonment for derelict screening of tenants who grow marijuana and derelict screening of terrorists. It also makes funneling drug money to terrorists a crime punishable by life imprisonment....even though terrorist organisations aren't really in the marijuana business preferring to work with heroin instead.

In case you're wondering, I haven't put them in the misc. thread for this year because they haven't been put on the ballot yet.

Gotta love progress. "Pot is legal to smoke now guys, but if you grow it your landlord goes to prison forever"

Holy hysteria Batman.

What, so their premise is that it's terrorists that are growing pot in their walk-in closets in the Washington suburbs and not white dudes with dreadlocks and beat up Subarus?

I'm inclined to agree with whoever, this sounds like big farms getting rid of the little guy. Fuck that noise.

Research some cannabis stocks. Their performance will amaze you. You may as well make some money from it. This was predicted in John Brunner's 1968 novel Stand On Zanzibar, where the tobacco companies got into the marijuana business, with slogans like "Ask 'The Man Who's Married to Mary Jane'."

[Valrifell]

So, I just realized that if Trump loses Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, but retains the remaining States he won, he loses.

And reportedly, Trump told aides to deny internal polling showed him trailing Biden. This was polling that was leaked earlier in the year if I remember correctly.

He will likely lose Pennsylvania against Biden but Michigan and Wisconsin are going to be tough battleground states.

Wow that's almost the exact opposite of what makes actual sense.

[The South Falls]

Just try to watch what Hillary did and don't fall into her pitfalls. That's my advice.

Great! Now if I just had any money to invest; in that or anything else...

Eh they don’t perform that well. The boom is over for the time being.

He's scared to death of Joe Biden. PA and MI are going for Biden. Wisconsin doesn't look good for Trump either. A ballot for Biden is the true anti-Trump vote bc it represents the best chance to end his presidency.

[Sidesh0w B0b]

Wisconsin will be tougher but I do see him losing Michigan and Pennsylvania: after all, he did win both States by a combined total of 1% (PA he won by .7%, MI was .3%). Wisconsin though he only won by about .7% too so they'll be close.

If Trump were to win WI in that scenario he's have to hold every other state. Losing any other state would defeat him. Imagine the irony if that state somehow was Utah. Mitt Romney would laugh his ass off.

More likely to be NC where Biden leads by +12 in latest polling.

Arizona is likely to be competitive as well and that has to do with Maricopa County. Its not the conservative stronghold it once was.

I dont see a scenario where Utah flips unless there is a strong third party candidate there.

With some more (good/bad) luck, Trump could realistically be competitive in Virginia. If Dems continue to ignore the existence of Hispanic humans, Nevada or even New Mexico could come into play.

What are you smoking? Virginia is rapidly going blue.

New Mexico is no longer competitive and Nevada is following in its footsteps.

Hispanic voters nearly caused an upset in Texas last year
