New Hampshire is one of the handful of states where Democrats actually get more votes. but Republicans control the state through gerrymandering. That statewide races other than the governor go to Democrats. But the state is gerrymandered enough so that even with fewer votes still control the state House and Senate.

Right. How many posts here complaining about political ads and political mail. Everyday there was a new post about it. Don't complain when people give you what you ask for.

Just like a Republican to want to control everybody. Republicans don't get to decide when the DNC holds their primaries. But it cool you want to try.
If you don't like it don't vote for Dems. Easy peasy

One could argue that New Hampshire by forcing early primaries in hopes of staying relative. Is one of the reasons that our election cycle is close to 2 years now.

It's ridiculous that the next presidential election has already started. literally before the vote was even counted for the last election.

I think this is the workaround. That you get rid of Iowa add North Carolina/New Hampshire as the FITN. Dixville notch votes at 12:01. New Hampshire still FITN and it's a compromise.

Also not surprising why homicide by guns are at an all-time high.

Right it shouldn't be in politicians hands. It should be an ethical board of doctors. It's very individual Case by case. Reality is it takes a lot of funding for that care. I don't have an answer. But this is been an issue for 30 plus years and it would be nice to finally move past some of these issues. So we could address some newer issues. Before we're just buried by problems with no solution and everything just blows up. Which seems to be where we're headed.

Cool is that an attempt to intimidate? And you kick cats as well as slap them? Inquiring minds want to know?

Right and I could argue that it's cruel and unusual punishment to make somebody with advanced alzheimer's spend their life savings to survive. After having literally lost their mind. I get this is a really personal choice and it's a matter of ethics. Which as Americans we don't seem to have much ethics nowadays. At least many of our leaders don't seem to have any ethics. It seems just like everything else that's hard. We just kicked the can down the road. Which I guess is probably human nature. To ignore negative behavior. It's a very personal choice. And I assume in this political environment will never be addressed. So people are going to do what they think is best. Whether it's legal or not.
It was only a hundred years ago where people thought not taking a bath was healthier than taking a bath. And with what we know today that's an easy decision. This one is much harder.

The time to be meek is over. Obviously there's a bunch of people that are fine with all the mass shootings, murders and mayhem. I'm not one of them.
Plus that guy is just a troll. You want to defend him fine.

I'm for that too. Especially the violent criminals. People that have shown violence Time after Time. We should put them on a pretty short leash.

I'm not sure that's true anymore. I know crime and murder and homicide and suicide are way up since covid. We have a higher homicide rate with weapons than Massachusetts does. Mass does have higher crime stats and violence. But with gun homicides we were like three times the rate of Massachusetts. And our low numbers do skew this cuz we're such a low population compared to Massachusetts. I'm not saying I have the answers. but it's pretty clear we have a problem. We're literally the only country in the world that has regular school and mass shootings.

Guns are not the answer. As a gun owner I enjoy shooting. And it's always the owners that are unsafe or worse that get the attention. I get that 99% of all gun owners are safe gun owners. But we have a problem and you can't fix a problem until you admit you have one. That's all I'm saying.

It's funny so many people self identify as gun nuts. I didn't call anybody but murders a gun nut. I know a ton of guys with weapons. That have fun with weapons. That are safe with weapons. I also know of guys that shoot weapon from their trucks that shoot after dark. That are unsafe with weapons. Those are the gun nuts. Not the safe and responsible hunters.

I never said murder. I said homicide by gun. So you're right it's one murder and one suicide. Two lives lost because a gun nut decided that a gun was the answer. And as a gun owner. Guns are never the answer. Guns are for sport not murder unless you're in the army. We have way too many people that think guns are the answer for violence. When really they're just part of the problem.

No record homicide rate by guns means we're all in a lot more danger than we used to be. Some hunters have gone crazy this year. I just had a guy shoot a rifle at night from his truck less than 300 ft from my house. Shots are going off after dark almost every week. People have lost their mind.

We have a record year for homicides by gun. That's at least the third double homicide of the year and we're way over 30 homicides when the record of the state is only 29. Your freedom doesn't give you the freedom to blow my head off. Edit for swearing at a troll. I hate trolls.

We buy stuff we don't need (petrock). With money we don't have CC. Then we spend more money to store the stuff we don't need. Then we go buy more stuff.
