@maddowshow: Rachel Maddow reports on the resounding rejection of Amendment 4 in Missouri, which state Republicans had hoped would make it prohibitively difficult for citizen-led initiatives to be put on the ballot. Missouri voters did not appreciate having their voice threatened.#fyp #news #politics #trump #missouri #democracy #voting @msnow
As a Missouri Resident I can tell you that this was not a Red vs Blue issue. it was an Us versus Them issue. People vs the Government.
And the People won.

Missouri is weird as hell because our people vote for progressive policies but then turn around and elect backward-ass Republicans who want to cancel all the policies they voted for. Like wtf guys

Republicans have tried to do the same thing in other regressive states like Florida.
Making citizen initiatives more difficult is a giant middle finger to basic democracy, and it really goes to show you that Republicans never represented the will of the people.

In Missouri, we used our city Facebook groups to explain what each ballot meant so people knew what they were voting for. The government likes to use wording that is difficult for some people to comprehend, so we made sure EVERYONE understood each ballot.

Proud Missourian here that voted No on 4 & 5! But remember in order to have progressive-leaning initiatives we must STOP electing conservative representatives who have outspokenly said they do NOT support what we have voted for.

I’m not red or blue—I’m somewhere in the middle. There are policies from both parties that I support, and others that I don’t. I don’t believe any one party should hold all the power. Different perspectives can lead to better ideas, accountability, and more balanced decisions. I vote for the people and policies I believe in, not for a party label.

She’s kinda stretching the truth here to fit her narrative. I’m a staunch conservative. No one, obviously, wanted those amendments to pass….

Technically, more than half of registered voters in Missouri are not Republican. We do not have appropriate or fair representation in our state government.

It's so strange that Missourians keep voting for democrat policies, but Republican representatives. Shows how tribal politics is in the US. It's party over policy. Missouri has, at least, a work-around, but they might be pleasantly surprised if they just tried voting democrat and having people in power who support the same policies they do.

Florida has already done this and that’s why cannabis or abortion isn’t legal even though the majority of Florida voted for those things…
