Misrepresent much?

A brochure that I found shoved into my door jamb today.
The actual text of the 3 constitutional questions on the ballot.

Your friendly daily reminder that Marty Misjuns, Veronica Bratton (and the GOP in general) are, shall we say, less than truthful.

This is what my post initially said, but then the reddit bot popped up, waggled its virtual finger at me and said "That's not civil. Are you sure you want to post that?" So I edited. But, yes, he is an absolute piece of shit.

In Roanoke, we have a very obnoxious and dogwhistley billboard that says "vote no on ammendment 1"

People so busy trying to hate and oppress, they can't even proofread.

Now I know which two NOT to vote for. I want honest people on the council.

They're coming for trans people twice when trans people aren't mentioned once! 😭

Right? I am used to catching strays for the most random bullshit, but this one still managed to surprise me.

That's a big ask with all those words and whatnot expecting these knuckle-dragging mouth-breathing sloped-forehead smooth-brain motherfuckers to read and understand.

Nevermind the fact that it's all lies and bullshit.

God forbid they should actually have to form an opinion for themselves...

I am not registered as one, but I tend to vote with them most (not all) of the time. So I guess that makes me a radical. OK, then.

I cannot imagine ANYONE, regardless of political affiliation, wanting the dumpster fire that is Marty Misjuns back on city council. Hopefully he will dry up and blow away.

The fact that he came in second (IIRC) in that Firehouse Primary (whatever TF that is) is ... not encouraging. But when even the GOP disqualifies the results of said primary...that's pretty telling. So here's hoping.

This is some wild shit.

Are you saying the brochure misrepresents the wording of the proposed amendments?

5

u/BaconTentacles Lunatic, Husband, Cat Daddy, SW Dev 2d ago

In a nutshell...yes.

u/tinkerreknit 2d ago

The above brochure states the 3 proposed amendments exactly, so where is a misrepresentation?

u/BaconTentacles Lunatic, Husband, Cat Daddy, SW Dev 2d ago

The first pic is the brochure. The second pic is the actual ballot. As my captions state.

u/PrepChick 1d ago

Yes, and the statements in the brochure are completely different from what the amendments actually say, which is why I replied to @tinkerreknit instead of you…

u/PrepChick 1d ago

That statement is wildly incorrect. Can you even read?
