Colorado GOP members on their way to a strategy meeting.
"poorly worded garbage……" It's not so much poorly worded as it attempts to elevate one definition of when human life begins; at conception; over other religious viewpoints. Those include human life starting at birth and when a fetus is able to survive outside the womb, with medical assistance. That's usually around 23-24 weeks.
There is literally a typo after the second word.
It seems to me that there is a huge opportunity not being utilized much yet by progressives – and that is the abandonment of conservative values such as "freedom" and "liberty." Today's Republican Party does NOT want you to have either, and clearly does not want power for the many. Progressives and the Democratic Party are far more committed to preserving individual freedoms, liberty, and the power of individuals for self-determination than today's christian nationalist authoritarian GOP.
I sat through a county Republican meeting recently with presentations about the evils of public schools. One attendee advocated for the use of a jural assembly (look it up if you dare) to get rid of elected officials who don't do things their way. These delusional people want to create unelected local committees to yank people from office they don't like. The proponent didn't understand why we don't already do that.
You're not wrong but there are way too many voters that don't care that Republicans want to weaken the rights of the many so they can then do whatever they want to satisfy their ideological pet projects. Attempts to restrict to ban abortion in some states like Montana, Kansas, etc. show that many voters have not problem supporting anti-abortion Republicans (almost all are against abortion anyway) but then look shocked when said politicians they voted for want to push a bunch of stuff they actually don't want.
Next election cycle comes just so the same voters can again support Republicans despite all the nonsense they passed or tried to pass that is deeply unpopular. Michigan and California come to mind, measures to keep abortion legal and protected performed better than Democrats did in those states in 2022 (not that Democrats fared badly there). Republicans seem to be treated as "boys will be boys" by voters while Democrats seem to be judged harshly because when Dems do similar absurd stunts that go against what most of what voters want, they tend to get punished in the polls. I know gerrymandering plays a role here but I notice that red-leaning states stay solidly red while Democratic-leaning states have Republicans actually make gains (think North Carolina or Ohio for the former and Minnesota or Virginia for the latter) when a party is seen as "over-reaching" or "ineffective".
As bad as most of the GOP is, those that consistently or at least sometimes but seriously vote for them are not really any better, considering they claim that their own political views tend to be more moderate but see no issue with supporting Republican crackpots who go against their so-called moderate or even liberal views.
So they won’t take “no-never-no way” for an answer? Republicans are winding up for “Eggs are people” 4? GLWT. The bright side is that it will deprive them of money to make other mischief with our state constitution.
Absolutely right! If they want to flush their RWNJ $$$ down the toilet with this futile ballot initiatives and Trump's legal fees, so be it.
Better the $$$ go there than to defending the Republican House incumbents running for re-election in those 17-Biden House districts.
