Summary

Colorado voters passed Amendment J, removing language from the state constitution that defined marriage exclusively as a union between one man and one woman.

This 2006 provision, previously enshrined by Amendment 43, conflicted with the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

Supporters, including LGBTQ+ advocacy group One Colorado, argue that Amendment J safeguards same-sex marriage in the state if federal protections are ever overturned.

Opponents, like Focus on the Family and the Colorado Catholic Conference, uphold traditional marriage definitions, asserting that marriage should reflect biological complementarity and support children’s well-being through both maternal and paternal roles.

Same thought when I read about Missouri voting for access to abortion, and for Republicans.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm just so dumbfounded by how many progressive constitutional amendments got passed but voted Republican.

I just can't comprehend someone saying, "You know, this asshole took away my abortion rights but since I'm voting to restore them, I guess he should get another shot."

These people think that abortion amendments are going to hold when their dear leader is in the White House.

Americans are morons. That's it.

Apparently Trump's numbers are same compared to 2020 but something like 14 million Biden voters chose to stay home than vote for Harris.

Absolute fuckwits.

Edit: Trump lost 3 million voters compared to 2020.

democrats were warned during biden's campaign in 2020 they (the left) wouldn't do it again for them. and you're surprised that they followed through when presented with a genocidal candidate? :shocked pikachu:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, yes, I am surprised that they sat on their asses and tacitly chose the even more genocidal candidate.

I get not wanting to make the choice between eating dirt or wet shit, but sitting this one out was just asking for wet shit.

You were warned. You decided to hold your nose and believe the polls that everything was close and would be okay if you just high handed brow beat people enough.

You are as much to blame as Harris' campaign because you're comfortable with supporting a genicide. Please go touch grass, do some shrooms, whatever you need to do to connect with your community.

You gave Harris and biden permission to behave this way and you caused this just as much as they did.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's already delusional to think you helped by not voting, but I'm not gonna listen to a dipshit who's just gonna sit on their ass and blame anyone who actually tried to protect the rights of queer communities. Fuck off.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

yawn yet here you are. And I did vote. Sadly i must waste my time educating you dweebs who gladly support genocidal monsters across the board.

Want to win? You should have shut your mouths over lesser evil nonsense and told harris to fuck off with the genocide nonsense. Maybe the democrats would have won. At least the news cycles wouldn't have been a never ending stream of 'harris shits on her base'
