And I hate to say it, but considering which party controls the state, the people of MO are deserving of this.

Sorry, you can’t simply vote for a referendum for policies you like, yet vote for politicians (I.e. republicans) that oppose those same policies. It simply does not work that way.

Vote smarter Missouri. You may then be able to keep your sick leave and higher minimum wage. If you vote against an abortion ban, and then vote for a governor and a state legislature that wants an abortion ban, guess what they’re going to do?

Is it just me or it this the height of stupid? Honestly I’m losing my patience and remaining sympathy here.
