Last fall, Missouri voters expanded paid sick leave. This month, Missouri lawmakers repealed the paid sick law that voters approved (missouriindependent.com)

Representatives for the people no more. Elections are a sham at this point. Republicans have become full-on enemies of the people

A citizen denied paid sick leave should sue forcing this issue to the judiciary. If the courts side with lawmakers, then it will be full "mask off" that democracy in the Show Me State is a sham.

Will they not be voted out next election? Do they not understand that voting is what we do now, instead of guillotines?

Bold of you to assume their constituents will remember or even be arsed to care. These politicians are representing districts that have been gerrymandered to hell and the people in them largely vote just based on a letter next to their name.

They're simply too dumb and naive, or worse actually are informed but just shitty people, to vote these bastards out on any level of government
