Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Has constantly developing numbers.
So far NH, Kentucky and Indiana are reporting in.
I put yeses on those props except for 32. I'm sorry but with creeps like Monsanto and others like them,I want to know if that shit is in my food. Yeah I know G M O's aren't known to be harmful,but who knows.
I guess I take a very deathpigeon/Serocco-esque stance on food.
Wouldn't be surprised if 37 fails just like 29 did back in June.
Perhaps. Alternatively she's trying to present the idea that she's not partisan, and would work across the isle(which no one would believe if she put "Republican" instead of "Independant")...
Most voters who don't educate themselves on the issues, tend to vote party line, and wouldn't be fooled... And those that do educate themselves wouldn't be fooled by the "trickery"...
Edit: It's not my state, so ultimately I don't care...

Hey, it's not over yet. The BBC only started their coverage 18 min ago.
Obama Heads Back to Reddit to Urge People to Vote
"Make sure you le vote"
Everything is Possible. But some things are more Probable than others. JEBAGEDDON 2016Don't worry about it. New Hampshire is the only Obama leaning state and it looks to be pretty solidly in his favor. Kentucky and Indiana are never going to be pro-Obama so him losing isn't a bad thing at all.

Vocal minorities. Ohio is pretty solid for Obama from what I can tell.

Because she would lose doing shit like that in Connecticut... But again, anyone who would vote the party line, rather than vote by issue, won't be "tricked" by this, because she's not listed as a Democrat...
What Linda is doing actually is legal. Electoral Fusion occurs in Connecticut, and she's listed as an Independent on the ballot
