@mcc Honestly, yes. It would be irresponsible to not exploit the situation and get a bill up for a vote right now giving all convicted felons across the US the right to vote. What Republican is going to dare to be seen as opposing Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s ability to vote?

All the #kohaku toots tonight are giving me the same kind of vibes as #eurovision. Just the right mix of fangasming and snark.

As much as I would like a breakdown between "people who voted no because they're racist idiots" and "people who voted no because they were misled by the people claiming a progressive cause for voting no", there's no such nuance in a straight yes/no vote for a referendum. And just like the republican referendum, any nuance that may have theoretically existed will never be acknowledged in future political discussions about today's result.
Shame on us Australia.
