I know we’re all feeling doom and gloom but can we get a thread of some wins/good news from last night?
In Missouri, a red state…
Missourians vote to increase minimum wage, require paid sick leave
I may have lost everything else, but I won on minimum wage and abortion.
I guess that will have to be my bellwether
And a atate constitutional amendment for abortion but that still needs to be played out in court.
But Trump said he would veto a national abortion ban.
Even if he weren’t a compulsive liar, he’s still pretty old. I doubt he’ll be serving a full four years.
We have been down that road before. The state government will simply refuse to implement anything passed by ballot measure that they don’t like.
I expect the abortion measure to take effect since it deletes out an existing law, but i wouldn’t expect the minimum wage or paid sick leave to be worth the ink it was printed with.
