Huh, turns out the Republican earlier BS claims of stolen valor for Tim Walz were just talking about the wrong Tim all along

There are also still opportunities to volunteer in person and online - including on election day!

Unfortunately they put tougher requirements on the types of accepted IDs, yes. This especially impact Native American voters in North Dakota

Native Americans continue to fight discriminatory voter ID laws in North Dakota

I mean Biden has already started the process for rescheduling weed to schedule 3 for medical legalization. Process is long but it’s at the tail end with the final hearing in December. It’s not too hard to see Harris just using the same process but asking for full descheduling rather than asking them for schedule 3. Or if Dems get a trifecta, she could also try to get congress to legalize directly in law (faster than the executive branch only action)

It is really funny how they’re both named Tim and look a lot like each other

Many of states on that map have started adopting it only more recently, so there’s been a push to increase it! If it’s not in your state, consider writing to your local state legislature representative to push them to pass laws for it next election!

It managed to get through in red Utah in 2018, so don’t think it’s necessarily a lost cause even if you are in a red state (though yes they are more resistant to it)

Made a simple post with the initiative’s page

It’s also worth noting that some states have same-day voter registration, though not Ohio at the moment unfortunately. Some states started adding that more recently such as Virginia (implemented 2022) and Nevada (2019)

Put a caveat that New York, unlike the other states on the map here, only allowed it on the first day of early voting because of the quirks of the law they passed

They don’t agree on it. Biden only supported legalized medical marijuana, and to his credit, he did actually start the process to do that. He order rescheduling to schedule 3 which basically legalizes medical marijuana. It should go into effect around December as the DEA has dragged out the process. It’s not instant executive order to reschedule. The law lays out a rather long process, but we’re nearly at the end of it at this point

Sorry it’s hard to tell over text sometimes. Have had plenty of fully genuine conversations with people saying things like this who are not being sarcastic

Yes? Harris is saying she wants it legalized medically and recreationally. She’s supporting full legalization here and she has earlier in the campaign

I still don’t follow what you are trying to say? Unless you are just concuring with Harris?

Don’t follow what you are saying? Legalizing recreationally is also legalizing it medically

Even Biden supported medical marijuana and he already started the process to legalize that (via rescheduling)

and legalize it everywhere

That’s what she’s essentially saying she wants to do, no?

If we’re going on history, then they would not be safe seats either. The margins they won by in their last election were quite close

Rick scott was re-elected in 2018 by a margin of just 0.12% (just ~10,000 votes of ~8 million)

In Cruz’s last election, he narrowly won by just ~2.6% in 2018. He’s unpopular among even many republicans. The state has gotten more blue since then. Texas is an ~R+5 ish state. It’s not as solidly red as people think it is

Neither Texas nor Florida is at all safe R if you’re going by public polling or even earlier leak GOP campaign internals about Texas which put it at 48% Cruz to 47% Allred. It’s more so tilt-R or lean-R by polling averages

Also also worth noting that there’s also even phone banking on Tuesday on election day too if you want something to do that day beyond just voting (if you have not yet voted)

Vote, volunteer, get involved

And also remind and encourage any dem-leaning friends, family, neighbors, etc. you know to go vote!

Plus also make sure to encourage and remind any dem leaning people you know to get out and vote. Friends, family, neighbors, etc it makes more of a difference than you might think

Hmm actually looking at the calendar of events left for measure J, it seems like the volunteering opportunities (for Measure J specifically) are more limited now at this point. Would have made a post earlier if there was still more open

Still a lot of other volunteering for dems open though I should note
