Glad people saw through the lies opponents were spewing. Ohio hasn’t had many blue victories, but I’m glad this was one.
Plus, recreational marijuana is passing as well. Sadly, that’s a statute and not amendment, so the dickheads in the legislature will probably fuck with it.
Ohio has had two blue victories this year alone! We aren’t a deep red state, we are simply gerrymandered all to hell. The map was even declared illegal in the courts, and our dear government kept using the illegal maps anyways!
If the Republicans can ignore the laws why don’t we just start ignoring their laws too. They want to shut down the government? Fucking ignore the crazy assholes. Simply refuse to lets a minority opinion dictate anything.
If the Republicans can ignore the laws why don’t we just start ignoring their laws too.
Because the government has a monopoly on force, and you will get arrested and put in jail.
I wasn’t referring to my bullshit…I’m referring to their bullshit attempts to hold the country hostage…just ignore their theatrical bullshit and pay bills. These fucks only care about debt when it isn’t a Republican president, nothing they say at this point is valid and deserving of consideration.
Thank you, voters of Ohio, from a woman in Texas!!!
Gave me hope to see last night! I was so fucking stoked! I’m so happy for you Ohio!
That one person that downvoted this, I hope you stub your toe. I hope the next time you get excited about something, it falls through. I hope you get thirsty and all you can drink is Dasani.
The people who hate democracy are mad :(
go to conservative spaces now and watch them try to walk “ABORTION IS MURDER, LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION” back to “well from the beginning our goal was only ever to return sovereignty to the states.”
they stand for nothing, and they’re getting what they deserve but not nearly enough of it
Lmao one of the lawmakers in the article is still talking about protecting innocent lives, and that “this isn’t over”. This, in case the GOP was wondering, is why they keep losing on abortion
Fr, they’re great at quietly changing their minds, but I gotta at least hope the “abortion is baby genocide” crowd is gonna have some trouble coming back from that
Ohio won’t host your incest babies. Good on you, Ohio.
Ohio is not an expensive place to move to comparatively, not yet anyway. I think this gives a lot of hope and options to people living around Ohio to move there for the safety and the grass. These two laws together, despite the GOPs best efforts, make Ohio an attractive option and the states gonna see growth as people and buisness take advantage of that.
#AbortionIsHealthcare. ✊
As expected it took only hours for the Rs in the statehouse to say they will fight the voters…yet again. Time to vote them all out at every level.
Big paternalistic authoritarian energy. “Those damn voters just don’t know what’s good for them!”
And they do the usual gaslighting and tell us we’ve been duped by people who are only looking out for themselves, which is also a projection.
And you do?
Well to be fair, they don’t like the idea of democracy and freedom so this is what they do. (shrug)
Are we sure they aren’t Democrat plants? At this point still pledging to go against abortion is begging for a repeat in 2024
Edit: I apparently needed to put a /s here haha
FUCK! YES! FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS!! Holy cow, that was a desert, waiting.
Rare Ohio W
Honestly, if Ohio let the people directly decide more often it would be a lot less rare.
Is it prohibitively difficult to get a ballot measure on the ballot? Or is it only every so many elections can they do this?
Hell Yes. To quote Jay " …me and Bob are pro choice. A woman’s body is her own fucking business!"
What’s going on in Ohio lately? Did everyone stop taking their crazy pills?
The bulk of us don’t take crazy pills, we’re just gerrymandered to high hell (I mean read the signs, we literally say it on our freeways…). All it really takes to see that is that whenever something goes to the polls that isn’t tied to districts we tend to lean more towards personal freedom.
Pills? Those Toledo-stealing jerks are naturally like that.
Lots of good people out that way, glad their voices are finally beating out the others. All the good people I’ve met there didn’t hesitate to tell me about how many not so good people there are there too though.
Great news!
Recreational weed was on the same ballot and both passed. Ohio actually managed to do two things right, which is a pleasant change of pace.
Remember to keep is civil guys!
