Forget the question re their chances. I’ve reread the thread. Still curious about the chances re going direct to the ballot.
They probably can’t raise the money. It’s going to take $2 million - $3 million. Think about the issue. Who has a financial interest in socializing medicine? No one. The interest is with liberal feel-good busybodies. Causes like that don’t have as many financial backers.
Of course some Hollywood sugardaddy can come along and fund it, but by that time it becomes an us-against them, contentious measure that then becomes ripe for a Harry & Louise campaign.
They like legislative initiatives because once the 2/3 has been acquired a lot of the opposition melts away. Anyway, as I noted early, that ain’t going to happen.
