Missouri stimmte für Abtreibungsrechte und bezahlten Krankheitsurlaub. Die Republikaner des Staates haben sie nur beide aufgehoben

Exactly how I expected this to go.
Republicans love to deny the will of the voters. It’s not election denial for them because they don’t believe in elections. They just want to rule as they see fit.
This is why „you’re not losing any rights, it is being returned back to the states“ is such an absolute flaming pile of shit argument.
And yet somehow these republicans still keep winning offices in the state
My state is so embarrassing. I actually think abortion will be explosive here. In terms of political reaction.
It’s kind of ironic that they voted in favor of abortion rights and paid sick leave, but at the same time voted for republicans, somehow thinking that the two were compatible. LOL.
*Edit was to fix a spelling error.*
Other countries would be burning tires in the streets by now.
Stop voting these people in .
In this day and age? In *this* economy? I can’t believe Republicans would *ever!*

I hate every missourian that voted for these rats
Why anybody votes for them is insane. They never have and never will care about WE the people.
Sounds like taxation without representation.
God save us all. Not one single thing has gotten “great” or even stayed ok. It’s all crumbling.
Republican politicians? Not giving a damn about regular people and catering only to rich people and culture warriors?
Predictable.
States rights is a FAKE Republican position just like every single other thing they pretend to care about. When it comes down to it all I see is them running to defend murderers in the name of protecting guns
And during the next round of elections their will be a focus on the zero trans athletes playing women’s sports in Missouri instead of Republicans telling voters in Missouri to fuck themselves
It also got rid of increasing minimum wage based on the consumer price index. No biggie, surely that money will just trickle down
Missouri would be a blue state if republicans didn’t steal elections
This is why we can’t have nice things!!! Huh, i thought republicans were all about REPRESENTING their constituents?
Amazes me how people vote for Republicans
The party of the (wealthy) people..
How many times do conservatives need to take from us before it’s too much?!
Having liberals as a balancing force is essential to furthering this country into the future. The opposite is true. Conservatives cannot get ahead by staying firmly rooted in the past, while liberals lose their support by accelerating too fast with too wild of views. You need both, with both having progressive minded individuals thinking of their own constituents needs, to move ahead.
The system broke down back in the 1980’s and hasn’t fixed itself yet. Just arguing over who’s right (just that), without enough people willing to give. And the people are the ones who suffer.
Missouri people, who do you call those, should try and link up with their neighbors. There’s no way anyone is okay with a lack of paid sick leave.
This is why ppl don’t vote. Why vote if they’ll overturn what ppl voted for?
Republicans in power don’t give a rat’s ass what the people they ‘represent’ actually want.
Republicans truly hate America.
Yea, Republicans suck. Not sure why people expect anything beneficial out of them.
Keep in mind that this is how confident they are that they can directly override their own constituents and they’ll still maintain their power. Due to making voting more difficult and gerrymandering, they’re probably right. And that’s exactly what’s wrong in this country.
Those voters also elected those Republican lawmakers.
This is why you should always dismiss Trumpists blubbering about the „voters gave him a mandate“ argument. Republicans don’t give a fuck about what voters think
Imagine the day they do vote out these rats and they overturn that?!
The rulers have spoken.
When you vote for people that defer power to the authoritarian leader, this is the type of action you should expect. Rulers believe they know better than voters.
How long for the people of Missouri to learn absolutely Goddamn nothing and vote these idiots back in?
Voting in favor of this bill and then voting in Republicans to oversee its passage is like choosing a pack of wolves to babysit your children.
They voted for this but kept the GOP in power 🤡 clown behavior
As they promised they would.
And didn’t Missourians maintain the repub majority in the last election??
You get what you vote for.
Maybe voters will begin to realize these people do not represent their interests.
Hey, I live here! I mean, I don’t like that the people we vote into power are telling us we’re too dumb to also vote on our rights as citizens in Missouri, but fortunately we can vote them back out of office… unfortunately that won’t happen.
In Utah voters passed medical marijuana and an independent redistricting Commission. Republican legislature came right in and gutted both. I don’t get why people cultishly vote Republican when Republicans clearly do not care about what the public wants.
It’s literally why the Republican Party needs to be dissolved, they are so unAmerican it’s crazy.
Fun fact: draconian abortion laws will stop many women from having kids. Why? Because we don’t want to die from a miscarriage.
If were are ever going to get out of this Dems have to start playing dirty. They are not playing by the rules and the only way to beat them is to play by their rules.
It’s insane to that indirect democracy is allowed to override direct democracy.
Missouri voted Republicans
>The second bill repeals paid sick leave protections passed under Proposition A and ends the state’s inflation-based minimum wage indexing. Both votes passed swiftly, despite an hours-long Democratic filibuster.
>The repeal of Proposition A is set to take effect August 28, stripping benefits from hundreds of thousands of workers. Meanwhile the proposed abortion restrictions are likely to end up back on the state’s ballot in 2026.
All Republicans ever do is keep kicking the working class in the nuts and yet keep getting rewarded for it *by the working class*.
If the people voted for it in a ballot measure, politicians should be forced to implement it as proposed and voted on, and it should be extremely illegal for any politician to oppose it on personal, ideological, or economic grounds.
The people voted for it, period. Come hell or high water, even if it’s objectively a horrendous decision economically, you MUST be FORCED to implement it.
Missourans need to show up in masse at their state house while it’s session and protest loudly. Start showing up at your states reps HOMES if you gotta. They are subverting your will.
Vote them out. Recall them.
