good many progressive issues won on ballots

[ashling]

and yet some of the same state elected R senators who are against those things.

Makes you wonder. Were these senate results hacked? ... and by some people too stupid to make them agree with the ballot measures?

I am not saying that I think that, but ...it makes you wonder

1. Republicans and independents voted for liberal policies.

That happened up here where minimum wage got 60%+ of the vote.

[ashling]

2. In what reality can they divorce policy

from the people who are instrumental in fighting that policy?

[bravenak]

3. In ours.

Get used to the new America. They vote for our policies but hate our wishy washy candidates. Apparently people like to know where you stand. Even if the disagree they respect a fighter.

[ashling]

5. They respect someone who will fight them on the

very things they supported on the ballot.

6. Crazy huh?

We ran some boring people.

4. The 1%ers need the Repubs in charge

to get the next war on.

7. "good many progressive issues won on ballots"

....absolutely....and a good many Progressives could have won if we had more top-quality, effective Progressive candidates on the ballots....most Progressive ideas can be argued to benefit and appeal to everybody....except maybe the greedy 1%

8. As I've said, it's a disconnect I just can't wrap my head around.

Something that totally doesn't pass the smell test with me.
