I didn't vote due to procrastinating on changing my voter address. Nor did I feel as particularly strongly as I did in the prior election. COVID is not as much of an issue anymore and the lockdowns/restrictions were the primary issue that I had with the democrats. That one issue alone really made me hate everything about them for a while. I really liked how Desantis kept us open here in Florida, but he also wants other shitty policies like keeping weed illegal over the smell. I just want a candidate that will leave me alone.

Democrats and Republicans both want some sort of control over people. One one hand, modern democrats aren't actually socially liberal, they instead believe our freedoms should hinge on what is best for the majority/social problems. As a result, many don't support marijuana legalization either until they can prove it doesn't cause some sort of social problem. Or they want to implement laws to restrict types of "dangerous speech" on social media. Not actually socially liberal is it? Republicans just claim to be small government. But what type of freedom is Desantis talking about when we can get a felony charge for possessing a THC vape pen in his "free" state? I was pulled out of my car in handcuffs because my medical marjuana was not in its original container. Would never have happened in California.

I was honestly considering moving to California before the lockdowns hit for more liberal drug laws. Their reaction to COVID has given me a lot of pause though.
