We're not going to get a yard of snow per week in March.

If we did, I'm all set. But it's not going to happen.

Ice already melted off the roof.

Yes, people will drive like idiots (not taking into account the high snow banks, again if the high snow totals did occur). People drive like idiots every day, anyway. Yeah so we'd be adding one more hazard. OK.

You are confused about the differences and separation between the federal and state government. Under the current system, the status of our state legislature does not have much of an impact on the selection of national candidates outside of a process completely unrelated to the presidential primary: the gerrymandering of our congressional districts.

Your first two sections make no sense. Even if the NH primary was later in the cycle (and therefore worth much less), candidates would still approach powerbrokers in this state just like they do everywhere else to try to secure more votes. Even losing candidates want more primary votes because it helps their career if they can post a reasonable showing.

Your section on "debunking the advantages" makes no sense from the perspective of someone in New Hampshire. Of course we want unfair advantages for our state. I want as many unfair advantages as we can get, especially if they come at the expense of people from out of state.

Why would we not want advantages in our state? The political clout does matter a lot because it potentially translates into promises of more federal money than we would otherwise probably get because of the wildly outsized leverage that it grants to our politicians.

You should look him up. Even the libertarians he wants to represent seem to hate him. His Twitter is full of fucked up shit and he has literally said exactly what you're claiming of "progressives". In fact, here's a link.

Also, idk what progressives your talking to but it's definitely none of the ones I know. Everyone of them that I know work to protect kids. Not fuck them.

Proceeds to hate on group of people...

This is one of the major things that drove me away from the left, despite considering myself a democrat for over a decade. The younger generation on the left doesn't grasp what bigotry is or why it's bad. They proclaim they're "anti racist" over and over, but it's so clear they're just repeating what they think they're supposed to say while having zero grasp of the concepts. The older people still on the left are in the same boat. Those who do grasp it have all distanced themselves from democrats and progressives by now.

The fuck are you talking about? The "progressives" aren't the ones trying to change/remove the age of consent laws . OP has referred to what is otherwise known as pedophilia as a "sexual orientation" and is a vocal libertarian. The same ones trying to change those laws

Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
