Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Wonder what the campaign against it was. This seems like a easy win. It's not even a religious thing like pro-choice.
Probably just a bunch of bullshit falsehoods, look at the campaign against issue 1 in Ohio. It was a change to the state constitution to put a citizen run commission in place to draw maps for voting districts and Republicans ran a campaign that was just straight up lying about what the issue was about. Then even threw misleading ballot language on the ballot, I doubt anyone read the ballot language though because it was a small novel.
Issue 1 took up the entire back page of my ballot yesterday and was just nonsensical legalese. People voted on it based on how there prefered candidates told them to, and we all saw who their preferred candidates were last night.
I wonder how many people showed up not seeing their ballot in advance.
The vast majority.
Damn education system failed.
Like you can see the test questions in advance and it's encouraged.
Politics (especially among republicans) has become a bit religious, so it's not really THAT different I guess
Based on the popular vote they traded Jesus for this monster who can't open a door.
