Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced that the state is on track to break its voter turnout record, with 45.8% of registered voters having already cast early or absentee ballots.

As a critical battleground, Michigan could play a key role in deciding both the presidential race and control of Congress. Polling averages show Vice President Harris narrowly leading Trump in the state.

Michigan also hosts an important Senate race to replace retiring Democrat Debbie Stabenow and several competitive House contests.

Polls remain open until 8 p.m.

Yes. Yes it is. I’m gonna go have a beer and not think about it. Or maybe a Xanax.

I just got a bottle of red from Oregon which will be paired with some homegrown. Hope we both have a chill evening 🤞

Man I wish that shit was legal in NC. I could use some gummies.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does the CBD stuff “work”?

… plus it’s seltzer. I make fun of my wife because I tell her it tastes like a soda machine that ran out of flavoring :)

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, it works alright. Those 10mg gummies they sell will do the job.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hate when they take Apple Pay. It’s too easy to impulse buy and my ADHD takes over.

I got two kinds of gummies. Thanks for the info!!! Now I just wish it was Amazon with overnight shipping.

I'm going to open a magnum of scotch and either celebrate to wake up in 2028.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I like that plan. Now I have to go get scotch.

Recently bout of COVID gave me a THC allergy and it's fucking killing me that I have to raw dog this election

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Dude that’s rough. I’ve never heard of a THC allergy. I don’t know which is worse. That or the tick bite that makes you allergic to red meat. I’d buy you a beer if I could.
