Meanwhile, Missouri voters rejected a pair of unique ballot measures backed by the Republican-led Legislature. One defeated measure would have required all citizen-initiated constitutional amendments to pass in each of Missouri’s eight congressional districts instead of by a simple statewide majority — a high standard used by no other state. The other measure would have directed lawmakers to repeal the state’s individual income tax while authorizing a state sales tax expansion.

    I agree it’s not a good look. Neither is genocide. US electionarianism is utter garbage. We get a slight range of right wing candidates, but never, ever anyone who would make massive change that benefit constituents more than the super-rich. And that’s why I’m a communist. I would like to add anarcho as a prefix, until fully and well-functioning systems are in place, and most of the biggest powers are AES states, but it’s jumping the gun, right now.
