Thank fooking christ. Ever since the NYT raised the alarm bells about this being the next big awful decision during the Roe v. Wade overturn, its been in the back of my mind. Glad to see we’re not taking another step away from direct democracy.

There hasn’t been direct democracy for decades. Every major party candidate for federal office has absolute allegiance to the ruling plutocrats. You literally cannot vote against the interests of Goldman Sachs and the oligarchs.
