Ohio voters just took firm positions on abortion and reproductive rights and adult-use recreational marijuana Tuesday, but gerrymandered Ohio lawmakers are already planning to flout, ignore, challenge, and abuse the voters’ wishes. This is what gerrymandering brings. This is why it’s a fundamental poison in the lifeblood of our republic.

Mere hours after Ohio voters passed the Issue 1 reproductive rights amendment with 56.62%, according to unofficial results, and the Issue 2 recreational marijuana law with 57% (both getting nearly 2.2 million votes), Ohio Republican legislative leaders signaled they would not respect the will of the people.

    ∆∆ Everyone ignore this idiot, he is an anti-disestablisment troll and repeats similar cookie cutter talking points whenever revolution is brought up.

    We need to overthrow those fascist tyrants and do it now.

      You do you. I’m willing to bet you’re a tough guy behind a keyboard but gutless wonder in the real world.

      He is either wildly uninformed, or terribly uneducated, yet still highly opinionated.

      Such a noxious stew of ignorance and unearned confidence.

        How the fuck has his obvious shill account not been banned already?

        Oh wait, because .world is an instance run by shills purposefully herding everyone together to control what they say and undermine the effectiveness of federation. That’s right. I forgot 🤦
