Three states vote to permit Medicaid expansion and a fourth elects a governor who will implement a vote from last year. But MT votes down a cigarette tax that leaves that state potentially withdrawing from expansion.
I hope we see more such heterogeneity among states. Let them experiment and show what works and what doesn't. Americans can then choose to live in the environment that makes them happy.
It will make Red States redder and Blue States bluer for sure, but maybe we might get some states go on different directions than that. Perhaps NH might be able to show us what a libertarian state would look like.
No worries. I'm still learning a lot about the places on the internet I never knew existed until I reached out a few weeks back and started trying to understand how half the nation was clearly happy with someone I see as an uncouth bully in the White House.
I've voted Republican and found common ground with Reagan and the Bushes. Trump just seems to have come from outer space and I'm trying to fathom how half of America can see him as just fine.
I've been on the internet since 1993 and before that I participated in Fidonet. But the internet is a strange place where you can relate to people all over the world but still surround yourself entirely with people like you.
Theres a lot of disagreement about what constitutes a "successful" ideology, nation or economic system. My view is that it is ultimately decided by where people want to live.
