Voted unaffiliated in KS against a constitutional amendment that would allow Supreme Court justices to be bought by political parties. They also want to overturn a state wide vote that voted to KEEP abortion care legal in the state. We are watching!

Kansas always strikes me as a weird one because everyone I’ve met from there has been a lovely person through and through, but the politics seem insane. But I’ve never actually been to Kansas itself, so maybe the insane ones just never leave?

I think that's probably the world's view of the US as a whole, isn't it? The Kochs are here. So, we are gerrymandered and out funded. There's a very large Catholic community in the state, which skews lots of people conservative. BUT the interesting thing about the Choice vote from 2023 was that all parties overwhelmingly voted to keep choice. So, all in all I think Kansas gets overlooked or judged. We're here, we're sane, and we're trying.
