Missouri voters deliver a resounding rejection of GOP-backed measures, protecting their rights and standing up against special interests. Will this wave of defiance continue in November's election?
Just waiting for Amendment 3 this November. Last go around, it enshrined the right to reproductive care/abortions. The opponents ran giant billboards, “NO ON 3, STOP MINOR TRANSGENDER SURGERY!” Despite nothing in the wording even mentioning trans folk.
This time, passing 3 would both prohibit abortion and the non-existent protections for minor transgender surgery - so I guess at least this time the billboards screaming “YES ON 3! STOP MINOR TRANSGENDER SURGERY!” are technically correct (but still hella misleading).
Goddamn, an 80/20 split is pretty big. I’m sure there have been bigger, but I can’t imagine that many.
All 4 amendments in Missouri were hugely decisive and actually went the way a sane person would want it to go.

You’d think those would be two separate amendments anyhow, but not in US politics.
Instead you get things like “vote yes to increase taxes on the wealthy and also start killing kittens”
And they’d call it the “Feeding American Children Act” or some bullshit despite being about neither.
Although taxing the wealthy would help feed children so maybe this comment doesn’t work.
If we limit the kitten slaughter to behavioral euthanasia and increase the taxes on the wealthy to a similar level, idk maybe I’d vote for it
