They put it up to vote so the will of the people can be heard.
The majority vote in favor of legalized abortion and minimum wage increases.
Then they withhold the implementation of both.
Fucking hate this shit.
The crazy part is that the majority voted for legal abortion but also the Republicans. Dumb assholes fucked us all over by doing that.
Yup. People need to revolt and start a revolution. This isn't democracy.
Actual advice for anyone seeing and wanting guidance:
If you're waiting for a day when every citizen says to themselves "enough is enough" and then stands up and walks outside to start the revolution, without communicating with each other, that's never going to happen.
If you want a revolution, you need to be organized. That means joining an organization and being ready for the call when it happens. So if you want a revolution, I urge you, please join a group. Do your best to join one that emphasizes mechanical action, but join one. Even if it's small, these groups find each other and coordinating a bunch of small organizations is way easier and more feasible than a multitude of individuals.
I also want to emphasize that joining the group doesn't necessarily mean "giving a bunch of time and resources to the group". Many groups are happy to just have you contactable so they can keep you informed of actions and group initiatives (voting or otherwise).
I've got recommended groups if people want them, just ask. But please, join one and start building the revolution now.
I'm listening. blade runner blues @ googles email service. Hit me.
I suggest switching to Approval Voting for single-winner elections and Sequential Proportional Approval Voting for legislatures in order to break the two party system and let people support parties and candidates they actually like. Lemme know if you want pointers on how to switch your local system.
People includes you.
That would require OP to actually do something. Better make a meme instead.
