I think issue 1 passed legitimately. Pretty much all liberals and some conservatives are pro-choice. That would easily be a majority of the population. But people on .win think that any polls that show pro-life losing is fake news and that majority of Americans want it totally banned. That is just simply not true. Most Americans are fine with abortion up to a certain point or especially when it comes to exceptions to a ban.
Those who are fine with it "up to a point" are going to be in for a rude awakening when, without them noticing, the debate will become about whether post-birth abortions should be permitted. Because the laws they're mindlessly voting in favor of are setting the limits further and further into the pregnancy. Just like the argument for gay marriage 20 years ago, most Americans were fine with "what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom is nobodies business", but little by little we're at the point where the fight is to have parents retain the right to be informed when their children are being transitioned. And that's not even the endgame, it going to go even further than that.

When grocery bills are $350 a week, the abortion issue doesn't mean crap to voters.
I think you need to expose yourself to people in other places besides GA. Abortion is huge to a lot of people right now, despite your position.
They win because they cheat. Elections are rigged and voting is shouting into the void. We are the majority.
