- Democracy, human rights, civil liberties and due process Neoliberals can be found in many political parties and we are not dogmatic supporters of specific parties. But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on. **Further reading** - I’m a neoliberal. Maybe you are too.

“The measure would have raised the threshold to pass a constitutional amendment from a simple majority to 60 percent, as well as make it more complicated to get citizen-initiated ballot measures before voters in the first place.”
Leave it to republicans to try to make any democratic process more difficult smh
It would have basically made it impossible to even get measures in the ballot by requiring signatures in every single county and removing the signature curing period. Then it would require over 60% of voters to pass any measure that miraculously made it to a vote, a percentage which is pretty much impossible to achieve these days.
Wow - and some counties have gotta be super red and they probably made it some bullshit threshold too
Its rich the party of small government is so fucking hellbent on adding restrictions
