It’s fucking infuriating. It’s a constant cycle of electing in dipshits that fuck everything up, spending the next 4 years fixing all their bullshit through ballot measures, and then reelecting them.

Every stereotype about us Missourians being idiots is 100% true.

I should have clarified. I mean silly (fun) not silly (ridiculous)

The most likely path at this point is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, a collection of state legislative measures, state constitutional amendments, etc. aimed at using the electoral college against itself. The very short tldr is once >=270 electoral votes worth of states have passed something enacting it, all those states’ delegates will vote in line with the national popular vote regardless of how their individual state votes, forcing the popular vote winner to be president.

Whether or not it’ll survive judicial challenge if/when it gets to >=270 electoral votes worth of states is entirely unclear. In theory, there’s nothing they should be able to do about it, but SCOTUS has shown time and time again it doesn’t actually give a fuck about the constitution.

Hell, a large portion of us outside of grad and hexbear don’t exactly like Harris. Sure is a helluva lot better than a bald faced fascist though.

That’s simply not true, but by happenstance the particular communists in question are tankies.

If I had to guess, it’s primarily to make people feel safer, security theater type stuff. I’m usually against that sort of thing, but you want people to feel it’s safe to vote, so if you gotta do some silly stuff, so be it. Plus it’s not like having narcan on hand is literally ever a bad thing.
