It was put to a statewide vote about 20 years ago and the people voted to keep it. That was about the same time that politicians in other states like Georgia were buckling under to the lefty pressure and changing their flags. The other states didn't let the people vote on it, their legislatures changed the flags. They figured people would get indignant about it then forget before the next election, which is pretty much what happened. Mississippi politicians figured there would be more backlash so they didn't have the nerve to change it themselves, they put it to a vote and it stayed.

What you say about commies never quitting is correct though. It's the democrat playbook, if they don't get their leftist agenda enacted then keep bringing it up until they do. Once they get it on the books we can never get rid of it. Think gun control, taxes, and welfare programs. Once they're enacted we're stuck with them forever, they never go away. They're using the same tactic with the flag, they'll keep trying until people are sick of hearing about it then it'll be changed.
