After you said it, it seems obvious that this makes sense. Thanks

Doesn't NH typically operate with a budget surplus every year?

I mean, you didn't answer the question. What don't you like about legalized weed?

Also, I have read the history of the quote. It was initially attributed to a famous revolutionary general from NH. What is your point?

Legalized weed in a state that love the motto "Live free or die"? I don't smoke weed but I still think it should be legal. You don't think legalizing weed would make NH a better place?

Yeah, you're right. We shouldn't try and improve our home, since when did anything good come from trying to improve where you live?

The amount of libertarians who claim other self-reported libertarians as nonlibertarian is so prevalent it is a meme, lol. I agree though libertarians should be that way(against any drug prohibition).

The gun issue is real, but I don't have a lot of worry about laws like that getting into NH politics in the short term.

In addition, I agree with vaccine mandates for public schools for healthy students. I also get prickly around the rhetoric thrown around for the mRNA vaccines. They are proven quite effective at preventing death at the very least. There has been a lot of politically charged rhetoric thrown around regarding them but it doesn't bare out. I don't think companies should necessarily be mandated to have workers be vaccinated to secure employment but again, I think the vaccines are good overall.

For the record I work in medical equipment manufacturing and have multiple close family in medicine. The doctor in my family advocated the vaccine the most and is the most conservative of us having been a Rush Limbaugh fan in their teenage years.

I don't support a general vaccine mandate. But it isn't a key issue for me.

Anyway, not here to defend democrats, I just hate the fascist election deniers. They can go to hell.

Full recreational or nothing. And yeah, not all dems are for recreational either, I would argue more of them are though.

I would say that libertarians support recreational weed far less than liberals, same for abortion. This is largely due to the greater overlap of people who call themselves libertarian with those who are typically more conservative.

Can you give me some specific examples of the points you are talking about? What specific policies are you worried about from liberals? I am worried about their tendency to tax into oblivion and overregulate. I am not worried at this time about their position on guns because of the SCOTUS.

That being said, more regulation would have been nice for chemical dumping in Manchester so that French plastics company would have had a harder time polluting all that ground water along the Merrimack with PFAs.

There are a number of liberal policies I would like to see passed in NH as well. Abortion protections, and recreational weed. It is insane to me that Mississippi passed recreational before NH.

Lol, reddit is for people 40 and younger typically. Not surprising it skews dem.

I just vote in the opposite way a Nazi would vote lately because, in my view and many others, Donald Trump is a lazy fascist demagogue who would destroy our democracy if reelected. Anyone tangentially allied with him has got to go.

Also, I was disturbed by the underhanded way republicans took control of the supreme court and roe v wade was a big issue for me as well, being the father of a little girl.

I don't like taxes, I like firearms, I prefer government small where possible. But Trump and abortion are not negotiable. Until republicans divorce themselves of the far right election deniers, I will never vote for them again.
