> So NH can indeed go second if they were to go along with the rules?

If they comply with DNC demands that the DNC is well-aware they can’t comply with, then yes. Which is why it is transparent bad faith and the intended effect is to move NH to Super Tuesday. It’s not correct to say NH would be going second under this proposal.

It’d be like me saying that I will vote for Biden in 2024 if he gets single-payer healthcare pushed through. I could pretend that means I’m giving him a chance to win my vote, but we all know that if I set out that criteria, all I’m really saying is I wouldn’t be voting for Biden in 2024.

NH isn’t throwing out Dem primary results, DNC is the one saying they would do that. And yes, I think a lot of NH Dems would be irked by that. Needless fight for DNC to pick.

Imagine if the shoe were on the other foot: Dem gov sits in statehouse and Dems control legislature and RNC says - okay state Republican Party, we are going to not count state Republican primary votes unless the state adopts the gerrymandered congressional map drawn up by Republicans. The Dem reaction, once the laughter stopped, would be something along the lines of: are you serious - who do you think you are - go pound sand.

Dems would be thrilled at the intraparty fighting that comes out of that; state and national republicans fighting. Dems would get to say that GOP doesn’t care about your votes but Dems do. They would get to say that GOP outsiders think they can come into our state and tell us what laws we can have. Dems would get to mobilize in the state (a purple state) and message to voters without any response or pushback from the GOP. Dems would be thrilled to be in the position state GOP are in.

I know you and the rest of you are just more crummy little trolls, who probably don't live in New Hampshire, and were monitoring this all-too-obvious Trap Post waiting for a chance to strike down on anybody responding with even the tiniest resistance to the theme.

You twerps are obvious, but I decided to bite, regardless. Feel free to continue festering.

I don’t understand why people act like Sununu can personally legalize weed, ignore the genuine issues he sees with, and not vote for him because of it. Then these same people turn around and vote to send the same exact people to Washington who aren’t working to legalize it federally, aren’t helping us out with COL, aren’t holding each other accountable, etc.

Sununu is a totally reasonable and moderate politician and I believe he will absolutely consider legislation that addresses the issues but nobody introduces that legislation.

You literally just proved my point, antifa is not a group, it's a belief. Anyone can claim they are antifa (as seen by all people with their insane belief that "antifa" members snuck into the capitol to frame the insurrectionists) and create chaos. The people who entered the capitol committed treason and attempted a coup, they were Trump supporters doing whatever they could to keep their dear cheeto in office, not liberals trying to make people look bad. They WERE bad.

> I agree, but dont see legalization happening anytime soon.

I hope you are wrong on that - lots of legislators are pushing hard to legalize cannabis.

>The state is probably more than satisified with current take from liquor stores and lottery.

I would disagree with that - the state is currently losing on a lot of tax revenue by not legalizing cannabis.

>Why make things more complicated?

I would argue that the cannabis ban makes things more complicated, and legalizing it would simplify everyone's life.

Fascism: often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

It combines elements of nationalism, militarism, economic self-sufficiency, and totalitarianism. It opposes communism, socialism, pluralism, individual rights and equality, and democratic government. Fascism places the importance of the nation above all else.

So no, my definition isn't "anyone who disagrees with me" lmao, I know how to use a dictionary and I'm also open to hearing factual information from other sides. It just so happens that "sources" like fox news or the Babylon bee are not legitimate so I don't buy into the propaganda they try to spin as facts and evidence. It's almost like when I'm presented with facts and knowledge, I can learn and potentially even change my views to match with the facts, wow!! Give it a shot sometime.

Agreed - HB639 is allowing private stores to sell it, and it taxes it at the meals and rooms tax rate.

https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billinfo.aspx?id=532&inflect=2

It is highly likely to pass the House this year (the sponsors are top leadership from both sides of the aisle).

As always, it's the Senate that is the stumbling block - I do not believe that Gov. Sununu would veto this legislation if it gets to their desk.

And if he vetoes it, I would love to see the outcome of the veto override voting.
