I considered getting nicotine toothpicks once as an alternative to taking up smoking or vaping, then realized that was stupid and looked into ginseng or vitamin infused toothpicks instead, then realized those are way too expensive so I ended up with mint-flavoured toothpicks. Not sure why I didn't just buy a pack of gum.

I believe I have NEVER skipped a state run election I was eligible to vote in, and that includes a primary in my beyond Titanium Safe D State Senate seat for a special election in which the DFL nominee was running unopposed.

I say "state run" because I did not participate in the presidential caucus that year because I really wasn't big on any candidate and just going against Bush, plus Kerry had locked up the nomination anyway. So getting to the caucus would've been kind of an unnecessary hindrence for a college student and I didn't bother. But that was a caucus alongside a "firehouse primary" completely ran by the party, no state involvement.

The other election related event I skipped I was eligible to participate in was the 2022 MN-05 convention which I automatically qualified for as a state delegate but I didn't want to vote for either Omar or Don Samuels or spend a weekend morning in a hot and sweaty gymnasium to vote "uncommitted".

The evidence is scant that voters actually favor placing formal constitutional upwards limits on how old the President can be.

North Alabama is the heart of the industrialization up and down the I20 corridor.

We have an insanely militarized border already ffs. But I guess having a low-paid workforce over whose heads you can hang the threat of ICE if they dare try to organize is more
important.

In terms of KY-03, it should be noted that KY’s own redistricting guidelines, as adopted in 1991, explicitly requires that “communities of interest” be kept as intact as possible. I think any attempt to redraw KY-03 into multiple R-leaning districts will likely not survive court challenges due to the aforementioned guideline.

In terms of Maryland, someone posted elsewhere on this forum that drawing a 8D-0R map would likely jeopardize Steny Hoyer in a primary.

In my time, back in the day, when I saw 'Zinn' or something that sounded like it, I was reminded of the author of A People's History of the United States.

News story on how everyone was circumventing FOIA.

Still unnecessary, and not worth the effort, like the over 70 one.
