Democrats? 😂 Buddy, this is a bipartisan event. If the city counsel decides what to do with the initiatives, why are you blaming the Dems? That the democrats are fine with that speaks to compassion for small issues that changes lives.
I hope you realize this doesn’t mean electing officials.

You literally said “what democrats want” in your last paragraph of your last post you turnip.

Yeah, what lower case democrats (and by extension capital D Democrats) want and believe in as a core tenet is for the public to vote on measures that affect them directly. Shocker, I know. But tell me, did you think they meant elections instead of issues? Because you’re glossing over the scale of these quite conveniently.

You need to look up the definition of the word “election” mate.

Of all the things you could’ve said, that’s what you chose to comment on? Don’t start looking silly now and start arguing semantics. You came at this strong. What happened? Losing confidence all of a sudden when called out?
Anyway, I’d love that for you!
I don’t know if you know, but generally speaking, an election is a vote held to choose who holds political power. And less commonly, it’s used in the general sense to make a generic choice. I chose one definition over the other deliberately to make a distinction about the purpose of votes on a referendum or ballot initiative that are not generally considered to have been “elected”. But you know, I won’t get mad if you “elect” cake for breakfast over eggs, but you do you, boo.
