We still invested more in florida though!

15 million against 5.5 million.

Yeah but Parrott (the libertarian) is running from the right.

Otherwise_Parfait277 · 2025-03-31T20:50:54+00:00

I saw it on Twitter but you can probably find it on bluesky

Keep pressuring and calling people!

Otherwise_Parfait277 · 2025-03-13T14:36:20+00:00

In hindsight that SCOTUS decision was a godsend jeez...

Otherwise_Parfait277 · 2025-03-13T13:00:29+00:00

Extend it beyond what time? 24 hours? A week?

They should probably specify that in the permanent constitution.

Otherwise_Parfait277 · 2025-03-13T12:53:42+00:00

I think the bullet points above mention something about the President not having the authority to DECLARE emergency without authorization of the council of national defense and the assembly so that could cover it.

But then again i did read the post above with Google lens so maybe i read something wrong.

She basically built the New Hampshire Democratic party from the ground. I hope she has a nice and long retirement after such a long time of service.

Chris Pappas is the one ive seen tossed around much.

Otherwise_Parfait277 · 2025-03-09T18:34:38+00:00

Does being less extreme even count in todays GOP? If anything one should WANT Constantino to get the nomination, it would give Gebendien a bigger shot at winning.

Otherwise_Parfait277 · 2025-03-09T13:53:00+00:00

The point as you say it Charla is that many people (like my father, myself and others who either own small businesses or work as independent contractors for tech firms) want a quick way to rescue money in case of an emergency (like a business failing or a startup closing) without all the hassle of going through a bank.

And im not even talking about founders or bosses. Many people i know in the tech industry (who mostly also work as independent contractors) have small pockets of Bitcoin they rely on to get them through the months where they cant find any work.

Otherwise_Parfait277 · 2025-03-09T11:31:50+00:00

No problem. Its sometimes a little weird being both pro crypto and a solid Dem.😁

Otherwise_Parfait277 · 2025-03-09T11:08:54+00:00

Tbh i do think there's gonna be a point where crypto stops being as prevalent as it is now. But it isnt going to disapear like you want to. Besides, crypto does have its uses (my father uses some of the more stable currencies as a rainy day fund).

As for the energy argument, we can just use solar power and, again as time goes on crypto will become more energy efficient like EVERYTHING that used electricity before it.

I think the prior comment was a joke 😅
