That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

This is democrats and Republicans not wanting people to vote for their candidate of choice because they have to constantly play the game of the lesser of two evils. They wanna keep power
Don't blame me; I voted for Kodos
Not even one state that has banned it is run by Democrats.
5/6 are Republican shitheads however.
This is the reality of the 'both sides...' arguments, yes both sides are guilty of doing despicable things but the scales are very heavily tipped in one direction.
Unfortunately with how far americans have legislated and tightened the stranglehold on control of the 'democratic' process, i dont see this ever being undone... 'willingly'...
Kansas has Republican supermajorities in both legislative houses. She didn't have a choice but to sign.
Did she veto it?
Do you not know what a supermajority is?
Yes, I'm just saying making Republicans do extra work is good.
While Kansas has a Democratic governor, I wouldn't call it a blue state. State Congress is likely all red. This was likely a ballot measure and the people voted on it. The governor just put into law what the people voted on. Nothing more.
So I looked into this being from Kansas it kind of pissed me off. Turns out she won with like 49% where the Rs got only 47 and two different third parties took about 4%. So Rs were pushing for it thinking those that cast third party would put them next over the Dem, while calling them wasted and spoiled votes. So this was proposed by the Wichita mayor under the guise that RCV was too complicated for people to understand, and likely kelly signed the ban because of fear she might lose her minor majority. Total fucking bullshit politics as usual.
Sounds like them. Capitulating to Republicans because of fear.
Ah so the one time it happened it doesn't count.
By that logic, California is a red state because Schwarzenegger was Governor at one point.
Yes it was. California had a Republican in charge the people liked and kept around. Only really because he was an actor.
If Schwarzenegger was a random nobody, he wouldn't have won the recall.
So California is a red state? Got it.
Was. Newsom is a Democrat.
I want you to tell people California was a red state from 2003 to 2011. Please do it and record it.
Your right about that, it is a fair thing to point out. However, I will mention that the democratic party has a hostile past to 3rd parties where they would do things like suing them to get them off ballots.
