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)

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

One thing that I’ve found with anxiety that can help is volunteering and other things that help dem turnout. It moves the needle a little and if nothing else it makes you feel productive and some more degree of agency besides just voting yourself

Can find some phone banks, canvasing, and text banks near you

Also another small thing that can also help is reminding and encourage any dem leaning friends, family, etc. to go out and vote. Helps more than you’d think

There’s a decent chance Walz runs to be president in the future if Harris wins and I think he’d probably do fairly well in a primary and general

Looking a bit deeper, does seem like it varies by location. Will update the title to clarify that

He is, though he’s wrong about Trump’s plans being anything beneficial in the long term. But even what he’s saying about any part of it being harmful is a contradiction of Trump’s claims about the economy

Nevada, Wisconsin, and Michigan* have same day registration through election day

North Carolina has it only during early voting (ends Nov 2nd)

The rest of the battle ground states do not (i.e Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia)

Across the US, 23 states + DC have same day voter registration

* not at the polls in Michigan but at the clerk’s office and then you can vote there after doing same day registration
