Yes? Harris is saying she wants it legalized medically and recreationally. She’s supporting full legalization here and she has earlier in the campaign

I still don’t follow what you are trying to say? Unless you are just concuring with Harris?

Don’t follow what you are saying? Legalizing recreationally is also legalizing it medically

Even Biden supported medical marijuana and he already started the process to legalize that (via rescheduling)

and legalize it everywhere

That’s what she’s essentially saying she wants to do, no?

If we’re going on history, then they would not be safe seats either. The margins they won by in their last election were quite close

Rick scott was re-elected in 2018 by a margin of just 0.12% (just ~10,000 votes of ~8 million)

In Cruz’s last election, he narrowly won by just ~2.6% in 2018. He’s unpopular among even many republicans. The state has gotten more blue since then. Texas is an ~R+5 ish state. It’s not as solidly red as people think it is

Neither Texas nor Florida is at all safe R if you’re going by public polling or even earlier leak GOP campaign internals about Texas which put it at 48% Cruz to 47% Allred. It’s more so tilt-R or lean-R by polling averages

Also also worth noting that there’s also even phone banking on Tuesday on election day too if you want something to do that day beyond just voting (if you have not yet voted)

Vote, volunteer, get involved

And also remind and encourage any dem-leaning friends, family, neighbors, etc. you know to go vote!

Plus also make sure to encourage and remind any dem leaning people you know to get out and vote. Friends, family, neighbors, etc it makes more of a difference than you might think

Hmm actually looking at the calendar of events left for measure J, it seems like the volunteering opportunities (for Measure J specifically) are more limited now at this point. Would have made a post earlier if there was still more open

Still a lot of other volunteering for dems open though I should note

One thing that I’ve found with anxiety that can help is volunteering and other things that help dem turnout. It moves the needle a little and if nothing else it makes you feel productive and some more degree of agency besides just voting yourself

Can find some phone banks, canvasing, and text banks near you

Also another small thing that can also help is reminding and encourage any dem leaning friends, family, etc. to go out and vote. Helps more than you’d think
