All the Republicans would do is dump money into the 7th District -- Southwest Missouri -- and that'd be enough to defeat any measure. They, of course, don't want this standard applied to legislator-referred initiatives because they'd lose in the 1st District (St. Louis). Republicans hate democracy.

Under a proposed rule for citizen measures in Missouri, all five popular initiatives that voters in the state have approved since 2020 would have failed, a Bolts analysis found. On Tuesday, Missourians will vote on the measure:

The liberal response to this obviously correct thread further cements my feeling that liberals aren't to be trusted in an anti-fascist resistance. You can't tell me that fascism is here and then tell me that owning the thing that has most effectively stopped fascism is bad. No. That's bullshit.

We seem to be tripling down on a really bad piece and I’ll just register my disappointment. (Alex Pretti was armed. I’ll wait for an explanation as to how that was bad/ineffective)

Funny how she juxtaposes the whole "I worked for President Obama" line for Black audiences while touting the endorsement of someone whose husband said Obama couldn't get elected because he did coke once. Almost like lying to Black people is part-and-parcel of Democratic politics.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen is on Team Stevens! I’m honored to have the support of Senator Shaheen in the race for U.S. Senate. She’s a fighter for working families who knows how to win tough races.

The funniest thing about this is that they chose the crowd shots to show that she's got support from Black people...only to highlight endorsements from white politicians at the end of her ad. Can't think of a better way to tell Black Michiganders that they're only good for background noise.

honestly, had to check that this was a real campaign ad by Haley Stevens and not a spoof ad, but, nope, right from her campaign.
