Make America great again Inc and never back down Inc, so Trump and DeSantis

Love to see that republican infighting

He’s declined to be on the ballot because the DNC wanted to change the primary order and now the first in the nation NH primary is “unsanctioned”

That’s a pretty heartwarming article, thanks for that

From what I hear, the biggest reason this happened is him doing a lot of personal campaigning.

Also some say it’s because he’s focused on “the homeless problem”.

It’s town election, the point still stands, especially with the accessibility of information.

I would be grateful to anyone pointing to where this decision can be reversed. Even better if it already has.

There are some great visuals on that page clearly showing the unequal representation. Do you know of any studies as to how size factors into the efficacy of the body.

But also accounting for that stuff again brings up governor. But even moreso isn’t that what the bicameral system is supposed to address? Is there a point of having the second chamber of congress if the first is (as close to as possible) accurately representative?

But you’re just making statements like they’re self evidently true. There is no reasoning or sources to back what you’re saying.

But is a bigger legislature necessarily a good thing? I understand the point of having it be proportional, but is there no limit to that? What proportion should we follow? Is there a point where its size becomes a detriment? If more is better then why is governor or president being one person okay?

To be clear, I’m not trying to argue any direction. These are honest questions that I would happily accept well reasoned and sourced responses to in an effort to better shape my own (not fully realized) opinion on the topic.

*it was Then they limited it, I question if that limit is too high.

While I agree, I also question the need for 400 house seats

I used to be proud of our purple status but I’m personally glad we’re turning blue.

Fair, they’re so ubiquitous I hadn’t really thought about it. The point still stands though of, it seems like the best way to deal with the issue is to encourage the population growth of their natural predators. Preferably native predators.

Am I wrong to say we should just be encouraging more wild chickens and dragonflies (those are more for mosquitoes)? Fight nature with nature yeah?

The Libertarian party, especially the NH chapter, should be completely ignored. Unless they commit crimes then go ahead and arrest them. If they got their way we’d be back to feudalism.

Local politics is the place to participate. Local affects national, and you have more ability to make the change happen yourself. There are still ways to use democracy to peacefully make the changes we need, but you have to have as many people as possible to make it work. The younger generations seem to be getting nicer. Your last 2 sentences are true, but we can start healing sooner if we can work together for it.

This will be an interesting race. Wonder if Sununu will back another not quite so far right person. As of right now I’d probably go for Ayotte but I expect whoever he backs will be elected.

Mt Major is great. Not too long of a hike but still tough enough to make you feel like you did something with a gorgeous view of Winnipesaukee. It’s also nostalgic for me, hiking that a few times on field trips.

I’ll start with an obvious one. You’ve got to drive the Kancamagus at some point. Gorgeous views and winding roads with quaint shops, really great snapshot of the roots of the state.
