- Comment on Missouri voters expanded paid sick leave. The Missouri Legislature undid it, and the repeal just took effect 14 hours ago:
It is not a misunderstanding of the intentions so much as they are playing by the old rules where you do not call something for what it is out of polity.
An old decorum only exercised by the weak Democratic establishment now.
The Republicans do more than call out for what it is, they lie and accuse you of being the problem for their own perversions. But our Democrats refuse to even truthfully call a problem.

Well do not stop there, you should explain why the other side doesn’t get more votes. Because the opposition party is worthless at best. Being better than the other guy has never been enough to comfortably win elections and we already knew that but that is the only thing we are offering. The way to get elected is not to be half as Republican as the republicans, it is to be Champion popular reform and loudly fight for it. To call out villains by name, to have a, to have a fucking spine.
We are doomed with this same opposition party and Power and they are despite the last election. We should all agree that’s a failure. Nobody answers for that? We allowed the same power Brokers to do the next one?

Most of the referendum laws sponsored by voters are Constitutional Amendments that take an extra supermajority of 3/4 I think to overturn them. Others like Florida it is just statutory law and when they passed that law allowing felons to vote the lawmakers just jammed it up with other laws so only like 200 of them were registered to vote election time.
- Comment on Google’s $45 Million Contract With Netanyahu's Office to Spread Israeli Propaganda 1 day ago:
Jesus the mask is truly off, polit and biz leadership are not bothering to pretend. They think representative government is dead.
They should hope not the political monsters they helped create will destroy their prosperity and cannibalize them sooner than later if they get absolute power.
