Reply to comment by Ted_Fleming in Question 2 - "Shall there be a convention to amend or revise the constitution?" by DietCokeMachine

Bullshyt. It just means more bloated govt that can’t actually do anything except spend money on useless shyt we don’t need while our schools decline our health insurance premiums skyrocket, our energy costs are ridiculous, & our roads are a mess.

But hey well be better represented by more morons who don’t give a toss about you and I.

I’m talking about both sides. We need a viable 3rd party more than ever. Just think if we’d elected 2 senators that were truly independent & represented the people of NH (or any state that could get a 3rd party candidate elected) instead of a party agenda they would’ve been able to hold up almost every bill that passed through congress.

That is handing some power back to the people.

Our experiment in a small, limited government has been an epic failure since WWI. Both Eisenhower & Kennedy warned us repeatedly about unelected bureaucrats seizing power bc leaders come & go while they seize more & more actual power.

YES. This is just how I feel. I feel much better knowing I'm not alone.

Yeah I’m afraid you’re in the wrong place for fair & balanced…Reddit is heavily slanted to liberal viewpoints, which is fine but a lot of reasonable viewpoints get shredded on here bc it says something negative about a liberal politician or viewpoint.

Yeah, but I though NH wasn't as liberal as other New England states (formerly from MA).

No NH is quite independent & traditionally has been the outlier of the NE states. Recently I have seen a shift to a more liberal state but it’s extremely tight.

The coast is extremely liberal as well as southern nh & parts along the act border.

I moved here from MA as well in 2015. It amazes me how so many people complain about the terrible politics of Mass (& the lack of affordable housing) as prime reasons for leaving yet they continue to vote a straight Democrat ticket thinking somehow things will get better.
