Missouri Republicans were able to swiftly overturn abortion rights and paid sick leave using an uncommon procedural move, sparking outrage from Democrats and advocates who say the legislature has ignored the will of the people.
In November 2024, Missouri voters passed two major ballot initiatives: Amendment 3, which reinstated abortion rights lost after the fall of Roe v. Wade, and Proposition A, which guaranteed paid sick leave for over 700,000 workers, the Missouri Independent reported.
Both passed with strong support across party lines, with Proposition A earning 58% of the vote. Since their passage, conservative lawmakers have worked to undermine or reverse the measures, citing economic concerns and ideological opposition.
I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic because of the state of things or if you’re one of those “the US is a republic” people, but
Yes it is.
I mean it even touts itself as one of the best democracies in the world. That’s like 80% of their war propaganda.
On paper. In reality it’s an oligarchy.
Again, I’m aware of the state of things. This was about “a republic is not a democracy” idiots.
Well, that’s all water under the bridge now.
The US was never a particularly good representative republic on it’s best days, and those days are far behind us. Calling the US a democracy of any kind is a lie.
So you also fall for what the CCP says about being communist just because they call themselves that?
Naïve as fuck lmao.
As you’ll see if you actually read my comment, it’s about idiots arguing a republic is not a democracy. I’m very much aware of the state of things.
