Do you know how tax incentives for charity work? There is no method he can use to save money be giving money away, best he can do is avoid paying the 37% or 20% tax on the money he is losing 100% by donating. How exactly is that a bad thing?

Except his "equivalent" $5 can do a lot more than yours.

There has been at least one case of someone espousing pedophilia being kicked out of the FSP. There are a lot of parents in the FSP and they along with everyone else care immensely about protecting children. You are fighting against a made up caricature of your political opponents. It would be like me calling all Democrats pedophiles because a few notable cases, or calling all Republicans sexual abusers because of a few cases

Calling your political opponents pedophiles, the epitome of reasoned discourse.

Both require a supermajority paragraph 5 in you link is ambiguous about it but applies to both methods. This link more explicitly says both methods of amending require a supermajority of voters.

Any amendment requires a 2/3rds popular vote be added. We've already lost if you think 2/3 of all NH voters will vote for something horrible.

Any amendment requires a 2/3rds popular vote. Not sure what the concern is.

Reply to comment by plz1 in Constitutional Convention ballot question by niateratez
You lose me at 2/3 of the voters agreed with whatever is put forward from the hypothetical convention. This seems like a great way to get popular changes (that might be unpopular to the current state legislature) approved. 2/3's is too high a hurdle for something too terrible to pass. The logic of "let's not risk it" could be used just as well to justify disbanding the NH state government else some extremists push through a terrible law.

So instead of getting a bill passed in the legislature, you think it would be easier for "crazies" to get a 2/3 supermajority of voters to approve?

Reply to comment by Nevaknosbest in The trolls in this subreddit are getting outrageous. Cant the mods do anything about this?? Please? by Nevaknosbest
lol, why would anyone waste time making bots for the New Hampshire subreddit of 83k? I'm sorry but people posting politics that aren't your own (not knowing your politics) is not trolling. It is lazy and a cheap shot to accuse all of your opponents of being trolls.
Politics is the "mind killer" and I have seen low quality responses from multiple sides on this sub, but I don't call people trolls just because I disagree with them. The fact this subreddit isn't as much of an echo chamber (and therefore has more arguments) is the only thing that makes it tolerable.

100%. Also unions really aren't needed much these days in the US. Just look at food service workers wages going up like crazy given the labor shortage, no union required.
