It's almost like the GOP has unpopular policies
The 60% part I think world have been a good thing (look at brexit) 51% deciding things is not necessarily great. It's the rest of the initiative that was bonkers.
In other circumstances, I would agree with you, but given the severity of the situation vis-a-vis abortion, we need to accept any victories we get to save innocent people from what is a blatant attempt at sparking a political civil war.
Which is one of the things that is so troubling about the situation. Fundamental questions about our democracy are being sacrificed on the altar of protecting our most basic rights from fascists. That should terrify everyone.
The Franklin County Board of Elections had this lovely flier in the line for everyone to see and is such a blatant bit of bias I can’t help but laugh at it 
I mean this is ridiculous for so many reasons but maybe the saddest/funniest part is that a “no” vote will “end majority rule” or “destroy citizen-led ballot initiatives as we know them” since a “no” vote on Issue one literally just maintains the status quo. It is literally maintaining citizen-led ballot initiatives as you know them.
It's the argument against the amendment. It's stating that if the amendment passes it would "end majority rule." It's poorly written.
The federal government and constitution put some guardrails around what states can do, so I'm a bit more okay with states being able to change without the same supermajority as the constitution.
None of this would even matter if this country wasn't infested with rabid misogynists. This is a victory, but only a small one.
