    Pretty sure the liberal answer is “organize, donate, and for fucks sake, go vote” to keep these assholes from getting more power.

    The leftist answer is to do nothing and just endlessly complain about liberals on the internet.

      Yes liberals aren’t great and all. But this is sort of brain injury levels of dysfunction. A state level issue in a state where it’s elected officials are attacking the citizens. And people whine about why the out of power largely unelected group isn’t exercising more power? Because your mother f****** neighbors didn’t put them in power. For all the problems liberals have. This is a voter problem. I’m not sure what they’re hoping or expecting? New York or California to invade and set up a provisional government pending new elections?

        People who bitch about “the libs” are usually tankies so anything short of rising up in violence to “do somthing” is doing nothing.

          I don’t know that I would go quite that far. But if I had a dollar for every time I saw someone doing that. And then looking at their Post history to see them defending similar actions elsewhere. I would have a nice little nest egg.

          There absolutely are genuine criticisms of capitalism. Unfortunately people often disingenuously make them. Especially leninists. If there’s two groups who have no business criticizing each other it’s capitalists and leninists. They’re both just awful.

      If this is like California, the proposition process allows the gathering of signatures and if enough are collected, the proposition goes to the ballot for direct democracy vote, bypassing the legislature in many cases.

      I’ve never heard of police going to verify signatures directly. But it’s not technically voting.

    Ronnie, you silly goof. What will you do when you term-limit out of power and have no one you can bully. I think I’ll start sending you love letters about how I want to lick the pudding from your fingers while gazing into your heartless empty eyes.

        The term limit is Constitutional so he should have got something on the ballot this cycle if he wanted that changed. Here’s the kicker though, it’s not a lifetime limit. He can’t serve more than 2 consecutive terms but he could come back in 2030.

        Considering he’s had laws Changed in the past to protect his position, this wasn’t a crazy thought. It sent me doing research to see if it was possible.
