No, desantis already tried the "Trump is too liberal" tactic and failed. Why? Because Trump is the strong daddy in Republicans eyes, and you can't call the strong daddy weak.

Instead you say that strong daddy is being railroaded by the libtards and it's totally unfair, but you should vote for me because he has to concentrate on his legal fights and I'm also a strong daddy.

You can't get 60% of Americans to agree on anything politically, not in a large population sample anyway.

That number was specifically chosen so that nothing in the future would ever pass.

There's a reason they chose that 60% figure in the amendment proposal: if you don't really think about it, it seems reasonable (it's not even 2/3rds!) But in reality, in the country's currently fractured political climate, getting to 60% is near impossible. Hell, if a Presidential candidate carries a state with 55% it's considered a crushing defeat, so 60 is a crazy high bar.

It also removed the signature curing period, meaning that there is no second chance to get more signatures or any of the originals get thrown out. For example, there is a recreational marijuana initiative that people are trying to get on the ballot in November. When they turned in signatures, it was found that they were, iirc, 639 signatures short. Under the current rules (which will remain) they had 10 days to come up with what they needed. Last I saw, they had gotten over 6,000, so that's cool.

I'd guess they chose the area because of the relatively low population. They figure they can outnumber the locals like the libertarians have been trying to do in New Hampshire.

Blockchain never does anything better than any other database, in fact it does pretty much everything worse.

Dot.com bubble was web 1.0. Big centralized sites like Reddit are web 2.0.

That's why they were trying to buy an island.

I was gonna say that the arm chair makes sense to go with the vanity area, but then I noticed that there is an ottoman type seat that nicely sides under the vanity counter.

I would rather have this than one of those tiny "apartment sized" refrigerators.

I know what you mean, but I'd lay a dollar that these people aren't from the city. More likely suburbs, exurbs, small town, etc.

People who live in cities tend to understand danger and avoid it. If somebody is like, "that street gets dangerous past X block, and you're likely to get mugged or worse" you don't go there. Same principle as a wild animal.

Especially given the fact that there seemed to be a group of men preventing people from escaping or eating.
