    Cons: “We don’t want to ban abortion, we just want to return sovereignty over the issue to the states.”

    States: make abortion a right

    Cons: “No, not like that…”

    This guy was named after the mixture of cum and lube leaking out of a person’s asshole, why do we care what he thinks?

    In the right wing talking sphere they’re talking a lot about how it should be one vote per household. Normalizing business and home owning men being the only voters.

    These people hate America.

      “Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as one man, one vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the vote.”

      Terry Pratchett, Mort

      Or from Unseen Academicals:

      “Everyone is entitled to a vote unless disqualified by reason of not being the Patrician”

        It’s the net effect they care about. Property owning head of household men being the only voters would basically turn this country into the white nationalist Christian sharia ‘utopia’ these people dream of.

    Yeah, democracy sucks when the people are ignorant, vile, and selfish.

    What the people in Ohio did was realize that empathy and human rights were good. They rejected fascist culture war bullshit and I wish them the best. I hope my state could act like this.

    There’s a reason that most of the “founding fathers” only wanted slaveowning rich white men to run the country.

    he should be fine then, since the US isnt run as any kind of democracy at all, certainly not a pure one.

    “That’s not fair, we worked really hard disenfranchising these kids. Putting popular policies forward is cheating.”
