And this is why the Regressives are working so hard to keep people from voting. When people vote, they lose
But I thought voting didn’t matter!!? But it seems voting actually helped people here. Because of voting innocent people will avoid jail and females avoid losing bodily autonomy - the most fundamental right.
I personally enjoy lighting up doobies every time I cross the state line when I get my abortions
Now the question becomes what kind of bullshit shenanigans are they gonna pull to hamstring it?
Weird thing about Ohio. Despite being a red state, issues that are associated with the Democrats do well in statewide elections. I concede that the recreational marijuana transcends party lines somewhat but reproductive rights lands in the blue. Ten years ago Kasich’s law ending collective bargaining for public employees was overturned in a state election. Anti-gerrymandering laws pass too. If Democrat candidates can’t win state offices but their ideas pass that tells me the party needs to work on their messaging
Ohio only recently has gone red, after a long time of being swing/purple. But there is a disconnect between the big three metro areas (ya know- where the people are) and the vast rural cornfields. Districts like mine are diced up to take little chunks of the metro area and group them with large swatches of surrounding rural area, effectively surpressing metro representation.
If this state can ever get non-gerrymander maps I think we’d see a large shakeup in state offices.
Yes, but this doesn’t affect the governor’s office or the presidential election … and yet the last 2 governor’s office and presidential elections Ohio went for the Republican candidate.
Maybe people just don’t understand that their votes really do count at the state level on these things. Maybe things have changed since 2016 and 2020 … hard to say.
No, but limiting drop off, mail in voting locations does. Cuyahoga County only has one, from what I understand and that’s downtown Cleveland at the Elections office.
Yes, that’s a problem, but again it doesn’t explain the disconnect between the issues and the candidates.
Yes sorry perhaps I misunderstood what they meant about state offices (was thinking state reps). The governor office has always confused me honestly, I believe there’s a lot of “fiscal conservatives” in metro zones that showed up for Kasich and Dewine, and there plenty of trump-cult voters littered through the suburbs now… but I question if Ohio will continue embracing “MAGA conservatives” going forward. Vance may provide the argument that they will, but the mask is all the way off now post-roe. If Trump’s not on the ballot we may see yet another shift.
It’s hard to say, I think we need to do better getting people in metro areas out to vote
Goddamn Ohio is making me think about moving, sounds a lot better than PA. I’m so tired of my state dragging its feet to the bone. JUST LET ME SMOKE MY FUCKING PLANT IN PEACE AND RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE TO WHAT MCDONALDS PAYS, THANKS
Give me the plant.
As a person who lives in Ohio the fight to no remaine a red hellhole is pretty much just starting. You are welcome to come but be warned
We need more help. Let them come.
So many Ws yesterday. Let’s make sure we keep turning out these kinds of numbers in off years and even better numbers in mid-terms and slowly but surely we can help replace some of the old bastards clinging to power.
Happy for you libs. Congrats.
I’m mainly just happy about the weed and abortion rights and this meme fit the bill. I still want to show capitalists how a guillotine works someday.
It’s not a team sports game ffs
??
You’re downvoting him, but despite the “lib” comment, this is genuine praise.
It is, but it’s completely misinterpreting what politics is supposed to be about. “Not a team sport” the perfect rebuttal.
Congrats! Maybe when PA is completely surrounded by states where it’s legalized it’ll finally give up being against it. Both abortion and weed
When RtR?
