What does any of that have to do with Republicans trying to subvert the ballot initiatives in Ohio? Which is what this post is about.
My issue with what you are doing is that your comment here, and most of your other political themed comments elsewhere, are always taking aim at the democrats. Yes, there is a lot to be said about the current democratic party, what they haven't done and perhaps more importantly what they have done, but in my albeit really quick scroll through your comments I don't think I saw you actually talk about how Republicans are fucking shit up, only how democrats are failing.
What democrats did 80 years ago on the federal level is completely irrelevant to what Republicans are doing right now on the state level in Ohio.
That would make sense if they just did it once 80 years ago and haven't spent Joe Bidens (almost) entire life continuously doing it...
Because if Dems become anymore like Republicans we have no chance left.
Like, if two houses catch fire and ones already burnt to the ground, are you going to demand firefighters put the same effort into both? Or are you going to realize the priority is the one that can still be saved?
