I voted Yes on 1, No on 2, Yes on 3, No on 4 and No on 5. 

I reiterate my gripe that so many states have the chance of improving their state for the better through citizen ballot initiatives, while we don’t. 

We’re out here in GA trying to get a blue wave flowing to the polls, and progressives are fighting to elect a firewall against the specter of a triumphant federal fascist apocalypse, while conservative states with tepid blue ponds like MO and AR are about to raise the minimum wage, expand Medicaid and restore voting rights to ex-cons against their conservative legislatures’ and governors’ wishes. 

Think about it: Conservative voters are voting for progressive-minted ballot initiatives AND conservative legislators/governors/congresscritters.

That’s been a joke to me for the last four years. But maybe it shouldn’t be, because during T3 training through the ASDC last year, I remember a former Democratic governor who spoke on the conference call talking about how voters don’t vote for candidates for their stances on issues, but do so based on their values. 

So maybe voters are voting on their values with the candidates, but they’re voting on their issues with the ballot questions.
