Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
The Florida State Supreme Court also thoughtfully put abortion access and marijuana legalization on the November ballot. They should be expecting a pretty noticeable increase in the 18-24 age range participating in the election.
I can't see Florida going for legal weed, arresting people for 3 flecks of shake is 20% of the cops' income.
DickSantis would absolutely veto such a bill, even if the state legislature passed it.
I’m not familiar with Florida’s ballot initiative process, but if it’s on the ballot, it’s not going through the legislature and likely not eligible for a veto.
Not to mention Medical has been legal there by constitutional amendment since 2016. 2 very conservative voters I know down there (Father and his best Friend) both hold medical cards now for it and would vote for it to pass even while voting for Trump. If Desantis vetoed it, if would weaken his ability to ever become Senator/Congressman for the state when his last term as overlord ends.
He would and it would make his little micropeen very very upright. He's even hurting the rich of the state with his stupid af policies. Literally the only people in the entire state who benefit from him are his cronies yet EVERY MAGA CHUD in the whole fucking geographical penis will gladly vote him in for life.
His sewage regulation removal basically shut miles of prime vacation beach down for 3 years due to raw sewage causing a persistent red tide. In some cases dense enough to be literally red (which is rare outside of whale carcasses or mass dieoffs, and those never last for more than a few weeks).
