Now I don’t know where you’re from but around here four year olds are unsupervised in public.

I suspect you misspoke. 4-year-olds require 24/7 supervision from a parent, guardian, or other caregiver in public or private. Failure to continuously supervise a 4-year-old you are responsible for is a chargeable offense.

It’s also not about the concept, but about what is considered right and what’s wrong,

It is about the capacity to understand right and wrong about a given act. Children much younger than 15 are expected to understand the general legal and moral implications of murder.

You have no idea what his psychology looks like

Untrue. I know he was subjected to numerous hearings and evaluations to determine his competency. He was found to not have sufficiently diminished capacity to excuse or mitigate his actions.

There is a line between “wishing for death” and “inciting violence”. You’re on the wrong side of that line.

The EC votes are cast on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December. (December 17th). They are counted on January 6th.

Yeah, I was a little off on the timeline… If he strokes out after the EC casts their votes, but before they are counted in the House, then Vance will be properly elected to the vice presidency, but the House is required to immediately vote on the Presidency. They only get to select from the top three EC vote winners. With Harris being the only candidate to win any EC votes for president, the House is constitutionally required to elect her. Harris/Vance.

If I were a Republican, I’d table-flip that outcome, but theoretically…

There’s an interesting possibility.

If Trump strokes out before the EC votes are cast, Vance becomes president.

But, if Trump strokes out after the EC votes are cast, but before they are actually counted in the House, Vance will be properly elected to the vice presidency. No presidential candidate will have 270 votes, so the decision will be made by the House, and the House can only choose from the top 3 candidates based on EC vote count. Harris being the only other candidate to win any EC votes, the House can only choose her. We end up with a Harris/Vance administration.

Hopefully, he strokes out before the EC casts their votes in December. If that happens, we can end up with a Harris/Vance administration.

Ban the sale of it. That’s it. You want to cultivate it yourself, no problem. Share it with friends and family, OK. Just no more industrialized tobacco.

There will be a black market. So what? The problem isn’t that people are using it. The problem is ubiquity. It’s readily available everywhere. A black market isn’t nearly as ubiquitous as selling it in every shop across the country.

It’s such an outlier compared to even other conservative states with similar ballot measures.

It’s not an outlier. The difference is:

the measure required a 60% supermajority to pass

  • Florida got 57.4% in favor.
  • Kansas’s amendment passed with 59.16%
  • Ohio’s amendment passed with 56.6%. (And a couple months earlier, we rejected an “emergency” amendment in a special election to require a 60% majority for all future amendments)
