    Every time I see Missouri mentioned in a national news/politics forum, even before I’ve read the whole post title, I get a sense of dread. Because it’s never anything good.

    ~(I currently reside in Missouri.)~

        Would they just ignore it? Didn’t they do that with your marijuana amendment? Or something else. I just remember it being relatively recent.

          It was the gerrymandering one they ignored. The cannabis one didn’t attack their power base and it is not something they directly controlled. I think the abortion one is more like the cannabis one.

          Fuck those fascists.

        But then I remember that in 2018 when Missouri voted down the proposition for right to work while voting the guys who passed right to work back in and elected a few new guys too who immediately went after the election trying to pass right to work again.

        I gave up on Missouri then.

          This isn’t directed at you, but why the hell do we use the rights propaganda words to describe things. “Right to work” is such a bullshit framing.

    “we will be subpoenaing information on Google’s algorithms and other systems to determine whether they are censoring conservative speech.”

    Good luck with your crash course in data science and machine learning, Missouri AG. In the past this has always turned out to be some kind of weighting towards probably-true content that disproportionately targets conservatives because they’re the ones spreading lies.

      The reason they tried to go after Gmail for marking GOP donation emails as spam turned out to be because GOP politicians used more spam tactics and thus resembled spam. Gmail turned off spam filtering for political emails as a result. And yet these weird freaks still have a persecution complex about everything and everyone treating them unfairly.

    What an idiot. Does not even know the basic laws of the country he is working for. The US really needs a mandatory intelligence test for politicians, and exclude anyone below e.g. 80, even if that would kill the GOPs presence in politics.

      Why does everyone hate my shitty propaganda bot? Don’t people like being told what to think during election season?

      That can’t be it. Wait, I got it!

      I’ll just make the text larger and bold! That’ll fix it!
