GOP Attacks Citizen Led Initiatives

Republicans and other Right wingers are attacking our democratic values and institutions on multiple fronts. The phony Stolen Election campaign hit one stone wall after another but it has not given up. Rather it is being expanded. Republicans are trying to wrest control of traditionally non partisan functions such as voting registration. Most recently, ballot initiatives seeking to protect state abortion rights, voting rights, and legalizing marijuana are being attacked, not the initiatives themselves but the right to even conduct them.

It's a dangerous time in America, not the first time we've faced one.
 
Republicans are using the authority given to them BY THE ELECTORATE, to make sure that the CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS of the 2020 ELECTION, ARE NOT REPEATED, AND TO PREVENT RADICAL BULLSHIT FROM BEING ON THE BALLOT WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT VOTER SUPPORT.

Translated, that means you dont want too many people to vote.

Republicans realize their minority status is probably permanent such that majority voting will only stop them. The alternative then begins with canceling majority voting, and the challenge is finding ways to do it

WAY TO JUMP UP AND TRUMPET YOUR IGNORANCE.

MORE AMERICANS SELF-IDENTIFY AS REBUBLICANS THAN DEMOCRATS. TRY RESEARCH...FOR A CHANGE.


Americans' political party preferences shifted to Republicans in recent months

Can you list specifically which "Constitutional Violations" you are referring to?
 
the Michigan petition to put abortion rights on the ballot in November was rejected because it was so poorly written that it didn't actually require anything. One comment I heard was "if this were a mortgage and was written this badly you wouldn't have to pay back the bank.".......

easy question......changing election rules without the approval of state legislatures, as required by the US constitution?........how could you not be aware of this since we've been talking about it for almost two years now......
