I'm seriously thinking about skipping health insurance another year to help with saving. Do you think that will be more expensive in the long run? I don't have any major health problems, but I also haven't visited a general practitioner in like a decade so there could be something hiding. Every decision is such a huge gamble in this fucking country. I hate it here but my job and degree aren't in demand internationally, and I'm not willing to marry an internet stranger overseas (I'm already taken anyways) so if I can't leave the country I can at least move to a state that chuds aren't swarming to with each passing year.

(This isn't because Harris lost, I'm not a fucking lib. It's because the abortion amendment failed despite 57% approval. I'm just an object here. I've actually been planning it out for a couple of years now, but this was the final straw.)

It's because the abortion amendment failed despite 57% approval.

Wtf? I'm guessing it's one of clauses where to change the law it needs 66% approval, or something along those lines.

US "democracy", not even once

60%

Thing is, previously that would have been good enough. We voted on an amendment that upped it from a simple majority.

60 percent. How did it do better than marijuana?!?!?!

I would think all the Trump-brained Chuds would want that more than abortion. The libertarian ones can go ad-nauseum about how that plant is such an effective panacea.

I genuinely thought weed would do better than abortion, too. I guess some libs swallowed the copaganda about it.
