Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Missouri voters approved Amendment 3, creating a constitutional right to “reproductive freedom,” which includes decisions on abortion, birth control, and pregnancy-related health care.

This makes Missouri the first state to reverse a near-total abortion ban by popular vote since the fall of Roe v. Wade. Passing the amendment was challenging in this conservative state, with Republican officials attempting to block the measure through legal and procedural hurdles.

The amendment protects abortion until fetal viability and permits it later to protect health or life. This shift may trigger legal challenges to Missouri's stringent abortion restrictions, reflecting the strength of abortion rights as a mobilizing issue for voters.

And overwhelmingly voted for the guy who will ban it at the federal level.

Yeah no shit he winning folks. So either their is massive fraud being committed by Trump, or majority of this country wants a fascist dictatorship under Trump.

My prediction is still to many racist, sexiest people in this world on both sides. They rather have Trump then a woman of color become president.

Also fucking morons voting Jill Stein. That show the Democrats for supporting genocide, not once looking and seeing that they all but guarantee that it will continue at 200% because Trump supports the genocide.

I wonder how many of those accounts saying Harris is the reason for the genocide going on will disappear now.

Or maybe they'll start saying the same thing about Trump, who has a lot more say than the VP does in foreign affairs.

Everyone still thinks the face-eating leopard won't eat their face.

Something feels sus to me for sure. The line i saw personally doesn’t line up with the far below average turnout rates

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Naw makes perfect since. It just proves America is still a racist country. And majority are also sexiest. That includes women who voted for Trump.

Harris didn't stand a chance. It's sad but fucking true hell Trump winning the popular vote this time as well. America is now a nazi fascist country with the largest army in the world. So we can't even hope for rescue.

When Biden stepped down, I immediately said that Trump has won. There was no way the US was going to elect a woman of color.

I gained more optimism over time, but clearly my initial instinct was 100% correct.

If dems stated they are against israels course they would lose all pro israel voters to Trump. They probably expected palestine supporters to not be completely brain dead an reallze Trump is so much worse for them.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 60 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah but in traditional Missouri fashion, they voted to elect people who will repeal it right off the bat.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 3 weeks ago

“I’m playing both sides, so that I always come out ~~on top~~ losing”

~ Missourians, probably

Buncha dumb fucks. Get ready to learn about the Supremacy Clause, hicks.

President Vance is going to skullfuck you into twenty years of Y’allqaeda Law. You don’t get to pick which Republican policies you like.

[–] dragonfly4933@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

Missouri is already ignoring certain federal law, so it might not matter.

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 20 points 3 weeks ago

Won't matter unfortunately.
