Was 85 and sunny yesterday when I went out to my car and a guy goes walking down the sidewalk in pants, long-sleeve shirt and a jacket tied around his waist.

Republicans messed up the messaging by making it all about “protecting the Constitution,” which no one really gives a rip about. Dem messaging is focused more on abortion rights, which is the actual thing people care about.

How should Republicans have messaged it?
Just Googled it and they live in Shaker Heights. Apparently his wife grew up in the area and they bought a house in her old neighborhood a few years back.
They should have also focused on abortion. Your average uninformed voter just isn’t going to piece together for themselves that this is actually a proxy fight over abortion and not some nerd stuff about voter thresholds for amendments.

I think It goes down, but I travelled through western Ohio last week and saw a lot of Yes signs.
OK, voted as hard as I could. Lines were about normal, no one wearing any blazers or sweaters.
I hate this country.

the scary out of state boogeyman bringing “woke” agenda’s to our beloved OHIO angle isn’t bad… they just needed to find more concrete examples of that happening and plaster it out there…
i think the main problem is that the scary out of state boogeyman state question people are mostly just the marijuana guys, and no one really gives a shit about marijuana anymore.
Which is understandable when you have stuff like this:
This is my parents’ county…they campaigned hard for No. Even though it’s EV results, the margin is astonishing.

How does Ohio get this right and fuck up everything else?
To be fair, we are also elite at roller coasters.

It seems wrong to me that you could potentially amend the constitution to require 60% of the vote for future amendments with only 50% of the vote. I propose an amendment that would require future amendments that require future amendments to require 60% of the vote to require 60% of the vote to pass. Not sure if such an amendment could get 50% of the vote, however.

If we take the Yglesias Shor hypothesis it’s that, as Democrats have grabbed more of the educated higher income electorate, they’ve grabbed the more high information motivated (Yglesias calls them neurotic though it feels icky breaking down the electorate to the biological) base and so these off cycle events where you need to be paying attention to them and be motivated to vote is becoming an advantage for the Democrats and not the Republicans but Republicans and Democrats to some extent are still thinking in the old paradigm where low turnout events favor the Republicans, so they try and schedule unpopular stuff like this at odd times to try and sneak them through.
I don’t know why, but the spelling of her name always makes me pronounce it “Kah-ri” in my head.
