A joke, right?
I can’t speak for all states, but the last midterms in FL alone had 10 referendums, some of which changed the state forever in big ways, constitutional amendments, etc. (e.g., allowing felons to vote, permanent tax changes, etc.).
If you think that doesn’t represent a low enough bottom of that slippery slope, you’re out of your fucking mind.
- Brian_K_White 6y ago"A joke, right?" Do you have any better example of the horror? Allowing felons to vote sounds correct to me. It also sounds correct to me that we each get to vote about that correctness rather than your opinion being the one that matters. "tax changes" is not bad or good until you define the nature of the changes and successfully convince everyone else that they are bad. (that darn "your opinion is merely your opinion" thing again)
